DO NOT USE Cold Air Intake!?

Cold air intake Dyno test is WRONG before & after.
I give proof with a comparison the dyno results
aren't accurate.
Can a cold air intake damage your engine?
Today on Nates interactive auto we go over the cold air intake problems. So people say a cold air intake can cause a check engine light and thats true it possibly can. K&N performance cold air intake is a good quality brand. K&N is the best cold air intake according to many users. Can a cold air intake void warranty, no if they can't show that by you using the intake it caused damage. But if they can then yes you could void the warranty. Cold air intake vs stock. The better choice can depend on the intake and installation. cold air intake vs turbo we can cover at some point. OEM vs cold air Intake or original intake.

I have to say there are pros and cons but tell us the experience you had because this is the best information from a unbiased source. Thank you for your time and kindness.

That engine is begging you to put it to sleep forever

[garysmith]

Had a spectra CAI on my 6.0 vortec for 9 years. I switched back to my stock box just to see if I could tell a difference in power. I absolutely lost power. It’s the high rpm high load power where you can feel it. I tow a 38’ camper and instantly felt a power loss during acceleration. Kept stock box on for a week then switched back to CAI. Stock box will never be used again.

Sounds like you need to be worried about that engine more than a cold air intake reviews
..that thing is rattling

This video was posted a couple hours ago and I couple hours ago I finished installing a cold air intake on my truck 😂👍🏻

For some of us it's about the sound and not the gain

[ryanjones]

For me its about the sound without compromising performance. There are plenty of other things to do to hain mkre5 performance. I just want that sweet sound of an SRI or CAI without damaging my engine and making it sound good. I could care less about gaining any hp from it

[bassw]

I've always seen a increase in
power when the filter had access to free-flowing air. You get an increase in power because the stock airbox is extremely inefficient, they're designed to be as quiet as possible, most of them have a hole right before the airbox sucking in air from your hot engine bay anyway, they do that so the engine doesn't hydrolock if you drive through a big puddle. If you fabricated an intake nicely you'll get five to ten per-cent increase in power, if the filter is in the middle of the engine bay sucking up hot-air you'll get a little bit of a decrease.

WHY DONT YOU DO A VIDEO ON FIXING THE LIFTERS

[MichelleObamaIsPackinASack]

I've noticed little more throttle response .... and maybe 1 mile a gallon or so ... I wasn't expecting big hp gains ..

[briany]

I noticed a slight low end lose in power on my Mazda 3 since I put a cold air intake on it, but it sounds so good so I don't care🤣

[squxshyy]

just bought a cold air intake for my 2013 hyundai accent gls. I just think it would probably sound cool and fun to install. I got the one that goes down into the bumper/side of the car in front of the wheel away from the engine.

[TheNecromancer]

This is indeed a topic of risk vs reward, driving speed, ambient temperature, length of snorkel, position of the entry point, material composition of said snorkel, , etc. Just for a few degrees in real world driving. 2014 gl63 the shoddy intake hoses provided by manufacturer is made of a felt like material and rips upon just looking at it, but the position was well researched, so I wrapped it in silicone tape and did notice the truck is a little more responsive.

Can i use a headshield around my filter box ?

[michaelmcaleer]

Sitting idle or revving(of course)is gonna cause your temp to go up..but a good dyno tester knows to have forced airflow or a blower on the engine to simulate it going down the road ie, wind flow. CAI's are a great way to add midrange and top end to any engine. More airflow + more outflow = more power and better throttle response. As far as not being able to close a hood during a dyno test...I don't what thats about...

[ericbishop]

Nate, you found a vehicle to prove your point. My Audi is engineered better than that, thus my CAI makes a noticeable difference.

[Wildanimal.]

That engine is about to blow💀💀it’s knocking like crazy.

[robbyrob]

Great video. Lol I call these cold air intakes hot air intakes.

[LuhApollo]

I have a g37. and the CAI going all the way to the front of the grille so... and my friends who have tunes have simple dyno charts to prove it. I think you mean don't get SHORT RAM intakes.

[Motorsportsgeek]

I put my "cold air intake" in winter when its -40 so the warm air atomizes better and keeps my mpg from dropping. People running them during summer need to watch this.
