Intake question from newbie???

What excactly does changing the air intake do??, does it add performance, or is it just for the sound??.... Seems some people have sensor ( check engine light) after install. Is it really worth it ???.

for the love of god please search before you post

the answer is simple, it is mostly for sound, most intakes will only make a little bit more power and might even lose you some power. and check engine lights is more a product of installation

Mostly for the sound.

Intakes are a supporting mod that can give you more power, done correctly.

if you get a CEL from an intake install then it isn't installed correctly.
