Most CAI actually pull some of the air from the hot engine bay, unlike OEM. Some companies claim a 10 to 15 HP gain from just the CAI. If it was that easy, don't you think Porsche would have done this years ago? Oh yeah, if you use too much oil on the filter it could cause a problem with the MAF, or damage the MAF.

IMO, not a good bang for the buck, especially on a car with the X-51 package. Others may, and probably will, disagree.

Besides K&N sucks.

Just put in a BMC F1 cotton filter and call it a day. $80 online.
