Cold Air Intake for C3s
Hello C3 owners. I just observed first hand a very nice custom made cold air intake. It looks like it was factory made and can be acquired in any color. It was made by Paul Dana. I'm going to get some pictures of it this week and post. I'm running multi port fuel injection in my C3 but if I wasn't, I would definitely get me one of these. Standby

HP Gain?
KCAT Fan, I'm not sure about the HP gain from this install. A dyno is the only way to answer that question. My bragging about this install was purely from an aesthetics point of view. I will be taking photos tomorrow.

2023 C3 of the Year Finalist - Modified
i find it hard to imagine a "dyno" would provide meaningful feedback of a cold air kit. there are too many variables wind speed, temperature etc. dynos are usually run with the hood up and a fan running a steady speed how much air is that fan pushing? is it simulating 25 mph or 50? a dyno is a great tuning aid , but it doesn't tell the whole story.
