Cold Air Intake
If I had the money, I wouldn't mind having the double the "eye-candy" if I had dual intakes..... might sound twice as loud too, looks twice as nice, sounds twice as loud. Why the heck not?
That's if I had money.....

The way to make power is to move as much air as possible thru the engine. Why would they try to restrict this? They improved on it by having dual intakes to move additional air over the previous setup. This engine is already optimized from the factory to make power. The aftermarket will come out with things to sell.. but that doesn't mean it will produce any more power than stock.

ASSUMING:
1) The aftermarket CAI would actually provide any colder air than before
2) The stock airbox is actually restrictive.
Two HUGE "if"s

Cold air = dencer air, so even if your engine is allowing a resticted volume of air, the air density coming from a CAI will be obviously higher than one coming from a restrictive stock air box.

+10 qwintwillion. Sorry Nismo. I read Carnutz's posts and every single one of them is on point. EXTREMELY on point.
It's not his knowledge in question here. It's your lack of YOUR understanding of what he is typing.

This highlights the lack of understanding. Look at the bold statement. This couldn't be more backwards. It's IMPOSSIBLE to make an engine flow more air by "tuning" in more fuel.
You add mods that allow the engine to flow more AIR first. THEN add fuel to get the a/f ratios back into line.

Yes, i completely agree with you on the fact that the engine can only flow so much air. [B]The debate that im trying to prove is that if you tune a engine correctly you allow the engine to flow more fuel,which will then need more air to compensate for the addition of fuel.[/bold]

Unless you agree with what Carnutz is posting then yes, we are in agreement. If not, then we are in no way agreeing
