The car would always seem to boost creep or stutter when trying to pull boost. But the car ran good but just felt like it wasnt running the way it was supposed to. (I always read but i have never posted before) I have been running an aem cold air intake for about a year now.

So after reading 100 different posts on this subject i decided to actually try something. I have done some testing and got good results (my project link in my signature). Also, the down side with putting the filter down in the fender well is that it is harder to check/clean, and there is a possibility of it getting wet if you drive in wet conditions.Īlso, there is something to be gained, especially on the top end, from putting on a well designed intake (emphasis on well designed). If not, and you throw a check engine light, it needs to come off because that can damage your car. You just have to be careful that the intake is designed to work with the stock MAF calibration.

This is of course if you don't use a heat shield like the SPT or K&N kits.Ī cold air will place the filter well out of the engine bay, guaranteeing that your intake charge will be cool (if you look at the stock box, it is also designed to do this). The main difference between the short ram, and cold air intakes is that the short ram places the intake in the engine bay, so even though it is less restrictive than the stock plumbing, you are intake air temps are going to be higher, which can negate much of what you gain by putting it on in the first place.
