hey everyone...Im lookin to swap my stock air intake with CAI, but I've heard talk about that not being a good idea in areas with usually cold climates..I'm in Michigan where the winters can get real cold and I drive the car in the winter...How true is it that it's not good to have CAI in cold climates and whats a good kit to buy at a decent price? I was thinking of going with a standard Ebay kit to get the piping and just toss the filter that comes with it and put a K&N filter on instead...good idea? bad idea? recommendations / opinions are appreciated! thanks!

 

good idea. i dont think the colder climates would effect CAI ina bad way. I think it would actually be better since you getting colder air. Ebay piping and the K&N filter is good idea it would save you alot of money too

 

i dont know about going with ebay on a cai, cheap parts, you never know if somthing will break and kill your motor. I say you get aem cai.
But its your choice.

 

colder climates is better for a cai, hense colder air. i would go wit a K&N typhoon

 

i live in norther canada where it gets to -40 and i have one, so no worries there

 

bur 40 below

yeah me too..i thought -15 wind chill was bad...ouch -40 is crazy lol...so u guys say NO to the ebay CAIs even just for the piping?

 

I have had a ebay intake for 2yrs now and never had a problem they are just as good as a aem or k&n just run a k&n cone filter on it and your set. Got mine for 30bucks shipped and the filter for 25bucks shipped brand new. I also use a cf filter for shows which is 25bucks shipped also and its like the k&n .

 

i have a K&N typhoon and i like it.. the price wasn't that bad.. when i got mine the AEM went up 40 bucks so the k&n was actually cheaper..
