I can definitely tell the difference between the stock and the CAI and i love it! the ways it sounds and takes off is amazing! definitely worth the money

one question though, the outsides of the tubes are supposed to be hot right? i think i read this somewhere but i cant find it n e where. sry if its a dumb ? lol just trying to educate myself :O
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your new CAI from Cold Air Inductions Inc. so much! We really appreciate your business and support!

Our whole system is designed to keep the heat in the engine bay on the outside of our system as opposed to soaking thru to the intake air. That is why we ceramic coat our intake tubes and insulate our airbox. What these insulating factors do is keep the heat on the outside as opposed to soaking thru and increasing your IAT (Intake Air Temperature). So yes it is perfectly normal for the intake tube to be hot to the touch, and means our ceramic coating is doing its job. We are far more concerned with the IAT, which we can keep within 2 degrees of ambient with our insulating factors.

Let us know if you have any other questions, we are always more than happy to help!
