Anyone on here have there cold air intake for more than 50,000 miles or more? If so, how has it been holding up and has your performance been adversely affected?
I plan on keeping my car for a long time and I'm wondering if dropping in a CAI will shorten my engine life. I was talking to a friend about it and he said that if I did that, the ecu will not be used to all that air and may damage the engine in the long run. I think he's BS'ing. Thanks for all your help!

 

All that air? you mean colder air? tell your friend to stop the bs.. lol

 

TOTAL BS ... I have had a CAI on all my cars never had a problem relating to it ..

 

Nearly 60k without any problems.

 

sounds like BS, i think the only thing you are doing is helping the engine so it can breathe easier by putting on a CAI

 

Did your friend have a bad experience with CAI and modding in general or is he one of those sideline nay-sayers? If your engine lasts say 300k miles, adding a CAI will not shorten the life by 100k or anything so why worry, live a little

 

Thanks for the input guys. I've heard that freeing up the intake may make the engine run more lean or more rich. Would I have to tune the engine?

 

not really, especially on a naturally-aspirated car.

 

Paranoia will distroy ya man.......just do it. You wont regret it.

 

haha..you're right. I'm gonna do it.
