Cold Air Intakes?

I just bought a new SS and love it.... Just wondering if anybody out there has an opinion about Cold Air Intakes? Are they worth the money?

Absolutely. Give this a read. It will help you make an informed decision. We see the best results from the CAI Inc system. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.

another vote for a CAI.

IMO dyno's numbers don't really give the full picture.

usually 10-15rwhp are the most you'll see on a stock car, but there are so many other things that come with the CAI, better throttle response, sound, efficiency and its a near necessity if you are ever going to do any exhaust mods.

I'm going with the Vararam. Ordered it Tuesday. It seems to be more of a direct path and all cold air.
