Exclamation Cold air Intake

I'm thinking about installing a short ram cold air intake in my 1994 Legend.I would like to know what are the advantages of doing so,and would it help with keeping the engine cooler?

figure out the difference between the 2 first then use the search feature & decide which one is better for what you want.

short ram intake = cone filter in engine bay

cold air intake = cone filter in wheel well

The cone filters better be K&N and not off brand from ebay!

Cause there's a difference? Mine's a Checker brand and has worked perfectly since I bought it.

the advantage of colder air is that its denser so its better for combustion. a cold air intake is less restrictive than our stock airbox so you will get better airflow as well which means better throttle response. it will give you better mpg if you keep your same driving habits. it does not keep the engine cooler.

do a search and you will find more

i have never tried spectre brand before. But i have tried both ebay and K&N. You notice a difference during an oil change. With the ebay filter the oil is dirtier than when using the k&n.

drive 2 brand new motors with the same intake tube and different filters. Then do a leak down test, then ask me again if there is a difference. High quality filters filter out more microns than less quality cheaper brands. These micron materials lead to cylinder scarring as well as tiny abrasive particulates that can break down rings and seals. Saving $20 today vs hundreds down the road is just nonsense in my eyes, but, to each his own. As stated, do a search.
