Hi I was wondering if a cold air intake was worth the 270 bucks and will it improve my 0-60 time at all?thanks!

 

No. 270 is a waste of money for not even 5hp. Find an ebay intake or something else.. you can find cheaper intakes im sure.

 

to each their own.the ebay one isnt exactly the same, and always remember when it comes to car parts, you get what you pay for.The K&N is more open to allow more airflow in and it isnt like the cheap ebay chrome one so it wont heat up and absorb heat.Its a true cold air intake, its farther toward to the ground to pick up air away from the heat of the engine.Check www.jegs.com or www.summitracing.com, you will find one cheaper than $270.Oh and it will pay for it self, most people see atleast 2 mpg in better fuel economy, and yes it will slightly increase your 0-60 times,but dont expect a drastic change.

 

Get an ebay intake from chrome intakes, with a K&N filter. It'll save you a wad of cash. The diameter of the intakes is more than plenty for an NA engine, a bigger pipe will not give you any noticeable gains. A K&N cold air intake is a nice system, but they are way over-priced for a piece of crappy looking molded plastic that flows just like a $70 ebay intake, you're paying for the name. The chrome intakes take air in in a nice place too, plenty far down to be a great intake.

 

The SLP CAI works great on my car, and it is a lot cheaper than a K&N. Also when you are on the highway the CAI gives a ram air effect that is pretty helpfull for 40 rolls.

 

I just realized we don't know what year V6 we're talking about, it's different for the 3.4, pre 98 3.8, and 98+ 3.8.

 

ya i wasnt even thinking about the year. Yeah it would help if we knew what your car was.
