Cold Air Intake Question

[NoVaGT]

I'm no fan of that ugly stock box. The price of an intake just to improve the looks under the hood is worth it. It won't lose power. And your underhood won't look like every other GT on the planet off the assembly line. And some of the closed systems will still let you hear the cool whistle sound. All worthwhile if you ask me. There's literally no benefit to keeping the stock box unless you can't afford an intake or don't want to spend the money.

Stock box and tubes are an eyesore.

Form over function.

The OEM CAI keeps the intake air temps as low as possible. When I installed a (brand name redacted) CAI, I actually saw my intake temps rise.....dramatically.

Want to actually do something for performance? Keep the OEM CAI, and use heat reflective tape all around it. And the filter box. Just cover everything you can with heat reflective tape.

That will make a genuine performance improvement. If slight.

It's hitting the JLT somewhere. Probably on the filter.
