Why do people continue to call their little tube with a cone filter on it stuck up under the hood of the car a Cold Air Intake?
I mean come one, the key word here is COLD but yet the intake is not receving any of the OUTSIDE cold air. It's just sucking in the hot air from under the hood. If it's a true CAI, it would also be more of a Ram Air system.
I've done a few true CAI's on some of my other vehicles but haven't gone that far yet on my Genney. We are seeing several people/companies on here offering to make a CAI or have done so, yet none of them are really a CAI. They are just round tubes with a cone filter stuck on the end. They still draw in hot air from under the hood.
I'd love to see a true CAI for the Genney. I may even purchase one if it's well sorted out, functional and fits nicely with minimum cutting on the front facisa.
