I'm not planning on buying the whole thing. I spotted the filter though at an Auto Zone. I'd like to know if there would be any increase in any performance of the car, thanks.
What are the advantages of a cold air intake?

so just an air filter, like a K&N replacement?

Maybe in economy, but anything has better flow than that paper filter imo

Yeah basically what you said blue.

it'll breathe a little better, and our trucks already have somewhat of a CAI on them.

I just got a K&N replacement. It helps a bit, nothing too exciting. Any way of losing the resonator box?

CAI will gain minimal power and a bit of intake noise which most people enjoy

What do you mean by minimal power?
So if I replace my current K&N air filter with a CAI filter, what are the pros?
I am confused. Are we talking about just replacing the OE filter with a new one, or replacing the whole air intake system with a "Cold Air Intake"?
A filter itself will help the engine breathe a bit more, and a whole will help it breathe more, the engines are already designed with somewhat of a CAI so you won't see huge gains. Some increased fuel economy and 3-5HP possibly?

I think you guessed it right. I think he is calling a standard replacement filter a CAI filter for one reason or another rather than talking about getting the actual intake.

Yes, just replacing the filter.

like I said minimal gain. Maybe some more noise if you open it up a bit in the box.
