A cold air intake replaces the factory airbox, tubing and filter with a freer-flowing setup that pulls cooler air from outside the engine bay. This is Cold Air Inductions' kit in a textured black finish.

why this one — This is the only intake here that quotes both a best case and an average, up to 14 hp with an average of 12, and quotes it at the wheels rather than at the crank, which is the more honest way to state it. It is still the manufacturer's own number, not an independent test. The catch is that Cold Air Inductions' own product page was dead when this was checked, so pricing and support run through retailers.

where the number comes from

Cold Air Inductions' own claim, relayed via the Phastek Performance retailer listing: "gain up to 14 horsepower (measured at the wheels) with an average increase of 12 horsepower." No torque figure published.
