Cold air intake

Happy Memorial Day to all veterans. Hi I’m trying to decide if I should switch to cold air intake for my 08 f250 6.4 power stroke. Is it worth the extra cost.

No but I'll give you a maybe for a good home made setup with a real filter not a POS K&N or something like that. Keep in mind the factory systems on EVERYTHING gets air from in front of the rad support or in a fender well away from heat. The "CAI" pulls HOT air from under the hood..........period.

He's right. They are a waste of money.
