Btw TRUE Cold Air Induction is more important than a ram air effect, on the street.

The Vararam does the best for pulling cooler air into the engine based on it's design. Making it a real CAI in comparison to 99% of the others making that claim.

The Callaway Honker is pulling air directly from the ground, same as the radiator. I like that setup, but not for $500.
Still the stock-type paper air filter will flow 1000 cfm through the stock air intake. That’s been flow-benched with a good filter like a Wix/Purolator. The K&N did only slightly better, but doesn’t filter the air anywhere close to the Wix. The real flow culprits lie between the filter and the heads.
Still, the “CAI” filters are easy to swap and look racy. A Summit sticker provides a similar power increase, but not the cool looks.
The statements above are all based on quantum physics, and confirmed by four out of five sororities.
