color of the cold air intake
i know there is prolly a 50/50 shot that people say cold air intake doesnt do anything, or that it does
but ive been reading and im wondering if the color of the tube makes a difference, should it be a darker or lighter color? anyone experiment with colors and find that one works better then the other? |
are you serious?

Its dark under the hood. Unless your putting a skylight in your hood over the intake, I don't think color is going to matter.

stop hanging around ricers!

Actually, it is really not that silly of a question. When it comes to heat or rather, absorption of heat, color can make a large difference. Thing is, though, with a CAI automotive application, I seriously doubt the incomming air has much of a chance to change temp anyway as it stays in the tube about a milisecond.

yeah, basic physics, darked colors absorb more heat then a lighter color...like at 5 in the afternoon, touch a white car, then touch a black car...then dipyour hand in water cause the black car is hot as hell while the white car isnt really that hot.

Dont get the blue ones, because the Reds ones add a lot more HP.
But seriously, they were made chrome for a reason, so if sun beams hit your intake, the mirror like reflects the heat waves. |
