... The only bigger scam in my book is a cold air intake/filter on a stock car.
You mean like every carmaker is doing these days?c
Yep, cold air is not a scam.
The problem is every one I've seen has a crap cone filter and sucks hot underhood air, I've seen them butted up against the radiator
. Watch and learn
Cold Air Intakes Mythbusted NOT by "The Mythbusters".
A lot of factory installations get true cold air. Hell, even my 77 Volare had a true functioning cold air intake.
Now the ricer junk with their K&N cones under the hood are another matter.
