  Cold Air Intake
Taking the step of removing your factory air intake system has an excellent bang for the buck ratio and as a result is often the first modification enthusiasts do to their new projects.
A cold air intake (aka CAI) typically has a longer pipe and its filter is positioned low in the engine bay, close to the ground where it can suck in the rushing air that has not been heated by underhood operating temps.
A Cold air intake provides significantly larger gains than a short ram, on some applications gains of up to 15 peak horsepower have been recorded although this won't be the case for every car out there.

  Cold air intake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cold air intake is a system used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car for the purpose of increasing the power of the internal-combustion engine.
All cold air intakes operate on the principle of increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel.
However, the term "cold air intake" is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine.

 Cool Air Intake   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The filter on a cool air intake is usually located outside the engine bay where it can draw in ambient air, while the ductwork on a cool air intake serves to route that air to the plenum in a hurry, all while maintaining the lowest temperature possible.
There are as many different cool air intake design philosophies as there are cars on the road, so you need to decide what you want from your cool air intake.
Be honest about your goals and ask your friends about their cool air intake experiences and you’ll find the perfect cool air intake for your ride in no time.

 Custom ABS Cold Air Intake
This method, using a KandN filter, gets the cold air rushing in right through the front of the grill, and this air is directed through the pipe, and directly into the throttle body.
I obtained an "air hat" from a salvage yard that was originally on a '98 Dakota with a 5.2L engine.
On the air hat side, I was having a problem with the metal shield crimping on the original coupling due to the slightly smaller size of the air hat inlet.

 Cold Air Intake
The first intake area in front of the intercooler was switched from the passenger (US) side to the driver's side of the intercooler stay bar and was increased in width from 57mm to 90mm.
And the intake area in front of the air box no longer has the rubber stuff on the cover that reduces the size of the hole.
I also thought of getting a headlight cover with an intake opening and running a couple of hoses from the side of the air box to that area, but those run about 100 bucks (not thrifty anymore) and the difference might be negligible.

 Cold Air Intake
The CAI reduces turbulent air flow since its diameter is a constant 3-inch from the throttle body all the way to the inner fender and the filter.Third, testing on a dynometer has shown that increased pipe length on a CAI causes an increase in horse power produced.
Cold air, the less restrictive piping of the CAI, and the resonance effect combine to produce an extra 8-10 horsepower on the dynometer.
Gone is the old fl air box, the fl rubber tube from the throttle body to the MAF sensor, and the diameter restrictive plastic pipe that exits the filter box.

 POWERHOUSE COLD AIR INTAKE
This is to be expected though as this is a Cold air intake and you need to have the intake tube run to the compartment on the drivers side of the car right in front of the wheel well.
The intake feeds off of the ram air effect given to it by the air passing by the driver’s side fog lamp while at speed, which makes a huge difference.
I was like "I need some air to feed this intake!" I wanted to simulate as much as possible the ram air effect the CAI intake has from being behind the fog lamp.

 Colorado: High Flow Cold Air Intake, Colorado Conversion, Stealth Conversions
On a 5-cylinder Colorado, the 3" diameter cold air intake is good for a 10 horsepower gain, compared to the stock intake snorkel, and it will not affect fuel economy.
Cold air intakes are very important for maximum performance and maintaining fuel economy.
Most of the aftermarket air cleaner kits are very loud at full throttle, and many people believe the increased noise levels create more power, but the fact is, the aftermarket kits that get hot air from inside the engine compartment do not make as much power as the JTR/Stealth Conversions cold air intake.

 How to install an import cold air intake
Cold air intakes, also known as CAI, have recently come into vogue among sporty street rides, but no where are they more prolific than within the import scene.
Often, relocating the air intake to the fender well increases the chances for ingesting moisture during rainy weather.

 eBay - Cold Air Intake
A cold air intake is yet another way to try and improve the combustion efficiency of an engine.
Cold air intakes often use a faced-forward, cone-shaped intake to increase the volume of cold air allowed into the cylinder.
Another factor that improves the performance of a cold air intake is the inclusion of a robust heat shield to help it fight off heat from the engine.

 Cold Air Intake Systems, Injen, K&N, AEM, AFE, Bullydog, Volant
Cold Air Intake Systems are used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car or truck for the purpose of increasing the power of the internal-combustion engine.
Cooler air has more density for a given volume, and cold air intakes generally work by introducing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay.
The term "cold air intake", however, is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine.

 Cold Air Intake - Air Intakes, Intake System
Thus, the cold air intake system can well take the place of your restrictive airbox and stock air paper filter, both of which squander horsepower.
The increase in airflow is made possible by the big diameters of these tubes and their smooth interiors which reduce air resistance.
Air intakes come in many different styles and are constructed from different materials.
