I know that the CAI gives you that extra air that the engine likes, but ive heard that it doesn't filter as well as the drop in filters and results in a engine life descrease. like 15-20% in some cases. Is this true or false?

Theoretically, since you are getting more air into the engine, you can run it lean, which could do some damage. I dont think with a cai you are getting that much more air in, and im pretty sure the ecu and fuel injectors can keep up fine. Just check your spark plugs after running it with the intake on if youre really worried.
