I put a turbornator on my '95 Accord. The only result was less $$$ in my wallet.

This has most likely been asked before so at the risk of getting FLAMED badly here it Goes.

What does the CAI do for your cars performance?

I have to give it up to these people though because they really got people to buy those things

Cold Air Intake and Short Ram Intake don't really do so much for performance they would be looked at more of as a modification that will make your car souat lnd better, but it will add a few HP if your lucky and give u a little more pull in RPMS because u get better suction and colder air, i think its every degree your engines temp goes down thats 1 hp or something like that. but its a good investment if u don't live in places that flood very easily.

where do people come up with this stuff? "suction", "good investment", 1 hp per degree... I guess you've done pressure drop testing with manometers to come to this conclusion...
