Are Cold air intakes worth the money.

RE: Are Cold air intakes worth the money.
In my opinion the RamHammer is the ultimate CAI (even though I don't have one) for this reason. Look at its design.....large opening then as it enters the TB it gets smaller. As air travels from large to small openings it increases in speed essentially putting more air into the cylinders. If I could just break this bowhunting addiction mybe I could get a RamHammer CAI lol.

That ebay one pictured above has the cone covered and really doesn't do much.

No dyno info here but the "butt" dyno, and based on actual fuel mileage changes, my exhaust and Superchips showed measurable improvement, while my CAI showed almost no change, other than an annoying whistling sound. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't.

HammerZ71 said it all, a CAI, like many other mods needs to be done in concert with other things to actualy realize gains worth your time. And as other has pointed out, allot of those gains are often only seen in higher RPM ranges anyway...so technicaly unless your runnin' er hard all the time you never feel it......all that said, I've bought 'em for the last two truck I own and I drive like a grandpa I like thinkin' it's there if I want it, and appreciate other attributes (i.e. re-useable filter, etc..), and I cannot deny the cool factor - it just plain looks better than the fugly air box

Here's a question..... I was thinking about toying with a "ram-airish" tube from the fog light hole, up towards the stock air filter box? Any thoughts?
