Cold Air or Air Filter

SilverGT04 · April 5th, 2008, 02:42 PM

i have heard that by changing the the stock filter and putting a k and N and taking the silencer off is better than a cold air and gets better increse in air and power

False.

but getting the CAI isnt worth the extra 1-2 hp

If you are getting a good CAI, then I would say no, but some of these kits don't give enough additional power over a high flow filter to warrant the extra money to buy them. I am saving for a JLT, so I went the K&N filter route to hold me over til I get it.

if you have money get it if you want but on a stock car you can either get a CAI or just a drop in and save almost enough for gears or a lowering kit

If you are talking to me, it won't be stock when I get the JLT. Gonna get the heads ported and cams at the same time. Its either that or a quad turbo setup with a roots style s/c on top. Haven't made up my mind yet. Definately would not waste my money on a cheap cold air intake. They are mainly for looks.

the factory intake is a cold air intake.just put in the k&n and remove silencer for now add a cai when you increase the power.

no...i was tlking to the guy that posted this thread...i think the money for cai when started off with mods should go towards other things...but if you get f/i then id defintily go with the cai
