You'll feel a lil gain in horsepower although nothing drastic.... like in turbo cars when its cold out it helps the intercooler lol... its not going to ruin anything if thats what your asking...

I was asking about the cold weather because when i stall the cold air intake with the heat shield, will it run too cold in the winter? I know there's a temp that it runs best at and if it gets too cold how will it run. i dont want to ruin anyting

i remove mine in the winter, because my car plows in the snow, and the CAI gets all clogged up with snow.. typically you just put your stock air box back in or make a short ram intake. I decided to use the short ram intake.
does anyone know of the site that sells the one that is cai and then it has a silicon pipe half way that can turn it into short ram, ive seen it before but cant rember off the top of my head!
Not hard at ALL.... if u can put gas in your car, putting in CAI or short ram intake is a breeze .... you do know how to use a wrench right!
