Default Air intake?

Hat is the difference between a cold air intake and a normal air intake besides the fact one brings cold air in and the other doesn't

Your factory is basically a Cold Air Intake being that it draws air in from the fender and not from the engine compartment. I have no idea why an open CAI is called that being that it draws in air from the engine compartment that is hot.. Your best options would be a sealed fender CAI or one of those hood intakes...

Did I say that? Thought I said hood scoop, engine compartment, and fender amongst other methods... In any case.... There is a new thread running "Airaid MIT 400-490" by hunting080189... Your answers will probably be more helpful over there since you have a Airaid.... Techrep to the rescue....
