Cold air intake worthi it? Also how difficult is it?
I am looking to bypass/junk the airbox in favor of a cold air set up. Is this a difficult mod for a novice? What results can I expect?
Thanks all

It was my first mod and it was very easy. I think it's worth it and I read anywhere from a few to 15 ponies. I thought there was a dyno that saw a 10hp bump but who knows. The sound is great and I felt slightly better throttle response.

Intake install is straight forward. I'd recommend a cold air as they will provide the best gains. The AEM Intake is a great option. We have it listed on our website for $271.69:

My CAI was also my first mod ever (not just with this car) and it was pretty simple. I tend to be overly cautious and strict about making sure everything is set up 100%, so it took me awhile to get it done, but overall it wasn't too difficult.
fwiw my CAI is an Injen. afaik it has the same setup as the AEM V2 where you have to do a coolant bypass and whatnot. If you get an AEM make sure it has a rubber mount so it won't break from engine vibrations. Assuming AEM still makes and sells the ones that don't...

I finally installed mine today. I had to take the bumper off to reseal a head light housing and it seemed like a perfect opportunity. And... the damned thing didn't fit Actually it did fit but the bracket that attaches the pipe to that anti-vibration mount is off by about an inch or 2. It's an Injen 1660B

I am not impressed with any off the shelf intakes for CL. Comptech is a nice design, but tubing is too small and restrictive.
Custom is the way to go on almost everything.

And I'm still going to be doing extra work fabbing up a bracket to attach to that Injen bracket lol
