Hello all,
I have a 1996 GT-S Convertible. I am looking at getting a cold air air induction system (with a K&N filter) on E-Bay. I am wondering - has anyone added CAI to their 2.2 and if so, what kind of return did you get? The web says is will add 10-18 HP... |

Either way those chromeintakes CAI's aren't CAI's.
Ive had one on and i noticed right after i put it on that the intake tube ran near the header between the cruise and battery. After driving with it on for awhile(motor at running temp) I could feel the heat from the header had heated up the intake piece. So basically a waste of money unless your getting it for looks. And the filter being under the battery might be a half decent place to get cold air, there are other ways of getting to that area. My intake tubing goes by the battery down through the stock location into the fender, 90 deg turn and sits right above the splash guard in the middle of the front of the car. Ive driven in rain storms and havent had a single issue, cept for traction.
