Cold air intake... Any Luck? Is it worth it?
Is cold air intake by itself will do any difference in HP/gas milage? or is it just simply waste of money? I'm not looking for a huge dramatic improvement but maybe 5-10hp?
Thanks for your input

You are not going to get the 5-10 HP you are looking for. You will not be able to notice the difference and you may damage the MAF

i have the brabus upgrade which obviously is bulletproof, but i did it along with the motor work, so tough to say.

on my 320, i had a custom cold air intake made..it works fine. filter, with proper bend angle. it allows better flow, better induction sound, and rids the v6 of the stumble in higher rpms.
