yeah, thats half the reason why you do a CAI, a bigger constant metal pipe keeps the airflow more controled, as well as a better area for cooler air, which we all know cooler air=better for engine. As well as it makes a nice throaty sound when you get on the gas... I got a nice little short ram setup for the C-Rolla and it sounds angry when you get on the gas pedal.
Ummm.No?
Metal pipe=heat soak=higher temperature of the incoming air. Plastics,rubbers, and aluminum are far better materials for constructing intakes due to their relatively quick heat up and down properties. Also, you might be missing the whole "budget CAI" thing. The whole point was not to shell out a billion dollars for something I could make myself for $65.
Anyway, my intake sounds much better in person than in that little video clip. THe whole setup does register pretty well on the kick in the pants-ometer, and I'm glad I did it.
If your gonna qoute someone, at least qoute that person and not me. In my response, I did not describe the materials used, just the logic and the outcome.
But im not going much farther than that statement right there. Because you obviuosly need more schoolin in the real world of automotive, and not Ricer University.
