: Cold air intake is just a ricer label used to describe an intake that has like 30ft of piping so the intake is under the car basically. Nothing really too special about them, minimal hp gains. But the POP charger is smach dap in the front of the engine crammed up against the radiator, so it isn't much of a "cold air" design Do you even know the architecture of the Z engine bay at all? If you came up with 30ft of piping then you obviously do not. First of all... the "cold air" intake on the Hondas and Neons as you refer to have their stock airboxes residing in the main engine bay. Reason for them designing a cold air that sits about 6 inches from the ground is because they don't have any other way of drawing a cooler flow of air from anywhere in the engine bay. On the Z, the stock airbox is placed outside of the main engine bay and in front of the radiator. Reason behind that (besides the lack of space in the main engine bay) is to draw outside cooler air directly before it hit's the radiator thus warming up the air. How is that so inefficient comepared to a stock airbox placed after the radiator in the main engine bay? Easy way to understand this to pop the hood of both a Z and say a Honda. Where do you see the stock airbox in the engine bay of a Z? You don't. And where is the Honda's? In the main engine bay where all the heat is. You have the idea of what a cold air intake all totally confused. I would suggest you go back to the drawing board and try to understand it more carefully before you misinform someone else. And FYI, NAs do not have 30 ft of piping between the intake filter and the TBs. Try like 10 ft at the most (5 ft a side which is about the same as what the Hondas and Neons require for their cold air anyway).
