Cold air intake; Good or Bad
I have a 97 silverado, been reading some good an bad things on installing a cold air intake on it. If its a good or bad thing let me know, is it a noteable difference in fuel or power?

I am sure some will disagree, but I say they aren't worth the money on an otherwise stock engine. The only one's that supposedly make a difference are the high end ones that block the heat from the engine from being sucked in. I have had them and to me the only difference was the noise they make. You can hear the motor sucking air. Personally, I would just drop a free flowing filter in the stock location and make sure it stayed clean. If you want to test it without spending money remove your filter and drive down the road (not a dirt road). Just drive a mile or 2 - you won't get any more free flowing than that! Make sure there isn't any crap laying at the bottom of your air box that might get sucked up. Also remember a CAI isn't going to flow as well as no filter so if you do imagine more power realize with the CAI installed it will be less.
You can get a custom tune for less than a good CAI and you WILL feel the difference.

why no chips?
I LOVE my cold air intake. Vehicles cost money. I only paid 300 canadian. I also have a back up filter. I have to change it every 3 months. But the gas mileage that I save is ridiculous. The sound is soooooo sexy! Its hot! I highly recommend it!
