I asked some of the Ford engine people about the purchase of a CAI. The Chief Engineer on the Explorer platform told me to not bother because there has never been any legit testing that proves a performance gain with CAI alone. I thought I knew better and bought one by INJEN.
It was a POS so it was removed immediately.
It changes one thing only and thats sound, I actually think MPG went down.
If someone tells you otherwise ask for factual test results, not hearsay and opinion.
The Ford guys mentioned that the CAI products are one of the biggest scams in aftermarket vehicle accessory world, the comment was "do you really think we wouldn't use a different design if it gave a benefit in MPG or HP?"
They look pretty and sound different, that's it.
As was said above, skip the CAI and buy a tune from Livernois, SCT, or one of the others, it changes the Sport to a different beast.
Exactly.....
