Have you used a low cost ($20-$50) Cold Air Intake on your car? July 12, 2005 9:18 AM SubscribeHave you used a low cost ($20-$50) Cold Air Intake on your
car? Show I am looking at the numerous cold air intakes for my vehicle for anywhere from $20-$50 on eBay, and I am wondering if they are any good. I am most concerned about the quality of the air filter, as to not allow any contaminants into the engine. I am skeptical of them as name brand intakes from AEM, K&N, and Neuspeed fetch $200 or more. Any opinions or experiences?
$307 for an AEM cold air intake for my car?? Are you shitting me?? Not like I drive a Mustang Cobra or Corvette, I drive a 4-banger Accord, I doubt it would make THAT much of a difference anyway. It will be a cold day in hell before I spend more than $100 on a piece of pipe and an air filter. At $307 it better come with a blowjob and a reach around.

ebay seller chromeintakes makes good stuff
ebay CAI's are cheap. IDK how well they work. i went with an AirRaid (air rade) idk how to spell it but i like it.
I wouldn't even bother with it for that money. It's just an accord lol.
build one yourself with parts from autozone...they have all the parts you need
My V2 intake was 350 on ebay from AEM. It is because there 50 state legal, they meet all the requirements, they increase horsepower, and the filter is a lot of the cost. I would buy another one if I had to.
build one yourself with parts from autozone...they have all the parts you need I secound this. Pepboys crazy enough has things for building your own intake as well. Not to bad stuff. Or go to lowes or home depot. Get some PVC and a air filter and build away. I did that with my dodge dakota.
i went with a zerotek or something like that i think it was and it does the same as an other CAI
Built my own for my CTS-V. Got the pipe off eBay cheap and some couplers as well. Then got a C5 battery box out of my vette because it really isn’t needed and a K&N from kragen. I spent about $100 in all including a replacement battery shroud for the vette. pics below.... you can do similar on your GTO!
I secound this. Pepboys crazy enough has things for building your own intake as well. Not to bad stuff. Or go to lowes or home depot. Get some PVC and a air filter and build away. I did that with my dodge dakota. don't use pvc... go to autozone or w/e get couplers some piping and an airfilter.. you will need to drill holes for
your sensors.
I should correct myself, by your name i figured you drove a gto....
spectre is the brand that autozone and pepboys carries. they mak diffrent types of tubes(plactic and alum.) in diffrend shapes so you can make your own intake system. they have diffrent adapters for temp and maf sencers and so on. they make their kits in 3 and 4" and also have plenums to make kits for carbed stuff as well.
you need to look at your space too.. some cars stock boxes are about as efficient as you can go.. a short ram is required in some.. and being in FL a CAI is not the best idea.. Is a cheap cold air intake worth it?To answer the question of whether a cold air intake system is ultimately worth it, the answer is yes. Even if you don't notice the benefits, they are still present and are actively helping your car to run more efficiently.
How much difference does a cold air intake make?But as a stand-alone add-on, a cold-air intake system is probably not going to show much, if any, of a performance improvement. If, however, you're also adding other modifications such as a low-restriction exhaust system, an effective cold-air intake might do more good.
Does the quality of cold air intake matter?In short, yes. Most vehicles' factory cold air kits do a good job of pulling oxygen-dense air into the engine. That said, aftermarket CAIs often have larger diameter tubing, smoother bends, and a high-flow filter. A new cold air intake can improve horsepower and torque, as well as throttle response.
How much should you spend on a cold air intake?Basic cold air intakes can start as low as $30-$100. However, if you want to splurge and see a decent increase in your horsepower, expect to spend between $100-$300. Here are some of the benefits of an aftermarket cold air intake: More horsepower.
