Seriously though, I would like to see proof if they do. Smoother air I can buy into more easily but that doesn't make a lot of difference until very high rpms. Sound and looks should be the dominating factors when going with a CAI.

it doesn't! What it DOES do is it limits the restriction and turbulence of air flow. Stock intake tubes have ribbing type plastic therefore creates air turbulence, also it doesn't have smooth air flow into the upper intake manifold. Most of the cold air intakes are promoting cold air intake, but what it is really accomplishing is smooth air transition from filter to manifold. No ribbed edges and no turbulence creates even air flow.

The thing about our cars is the stock filter location gets poor airflow... just like our brakes, and the diff, lol... Alot of muscle cars, higher end car, Vipers, Z06 have ram air, which I guess you could say is like a CAI...

I can see the shorty intakes for our cars aren't really going to be any better than stock. But the intakes that fit over the crash bar, or the other style that fit down into the wheel well definitely make power. I don't see why people are still confused about this when it has been dyno proven...

if its not major collision I wouldn't really be too concerned about it. I had my bumper replaced because I was hit and shoved by a f-550 service truck. Plus I was victimized by a aluminum pole the year prior. I felt the same way you are but have gotten past it.
