What are the pros and cons of installing a cold air intake? (1993 Accord f22a1 )

Pros - None

Cons - You're out quite a few bucks and get to have a "moaning" air intake. If that'sa pro to you, you've found your justification.

good luck

Pro's ; you'll have so much more power you'll have to tie your hands to the steering wheel so you can hold on when you step on the gas.

Con's ; wears out tires because every time the trans shifts the tires will smoke and break traction

All jokes aside, people think they have more power because they can hear the intake get louder as the throttle plate opens. There is not any real HP gains.
Of course the people selling them claim 50-100 more HP.

My intake is going to double the power of my engine, but it's more of a short ram ...... and leads to a turbocharger.
