CAI = Best Upgrade!
 
Sorry if this is in the wrong place...

Okay first of all their not. But I was walking through o'rileys last night with a friend of mine who was buying oil and one of the guys working there was walking down the isle we were in and he said: "if your going to buy ANYTHING for your car buy a Cold Air Intake" (and yes he did express the word anything like I did) so I laughed and walked out of the store. What is this guy thinking?

Oh and my new rims come in tomorrow, 17x9 '03 Cobras =] cant wait!!

That's the import mentality, I guess......

The only reason to buy any CAI is because it's pretty looking...........lol

hey how much did it cost you for the sunroof?

yeah they always think the CAI is the best thing, I think they are over advertised so thats why they push them so much...

Idk exactly, the owner I got it from already had it put in. I really enjoy it in the summer time tho.

Yeah the way he said it tho made it sound like they are the best things ever invented.

A cold air intake is good for more than just looks...They provide a sturdy mounting point for a nitrous nozzle :)

How about that Turbonator thing? I thought someone here was gonna try that, and see if they gained the extra HP it claims. Dammit. My guess is after a few miles you'll have little metal pieces in your engine when it falls apart.. :rolleyes:

Bullitt5339 11-04-2009 04:12 AM

Yeah, putting a restriction in your intake is a sure-fire way to gain HP...... lol

I'm sure the guy at the auto parts store was a ricer, but I CAI's do make a difference in the 3v and 4v engines.....more so in the 3v's I think.
