I'm probably a year out from going to a new exhaust but i am more interested in Milltek and Awe.

Both of these have very high ratings from Cayman club members and they both have an extra pipe between the two exhaust units to ensure no resonance at low RPM's.

Chills, I think it has to do with keeping your beer cold longer, but not sure.

Screws up your sensors and can give you a CEL.

I was going to write a nice long explanation, but I think this sums it up :

A cold air intake is a system used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car for the purpose of increasing the power of the internal-combustion engine.

All cold air intakes operate on the principle of increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. Because cooler air has more density for a given volume, cold air intakes generally work by introducing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay.

Thanks Nick.


So is the cold air intake really worth the money?
