Everyone I know says cold air intakes are the way to go. "cold air intake bro!" "power and efficiency bro" you know.
I'm 27 now but I can still relate to that. When we're younger we usually get that illusion that power is the way to go even if it's available only at a higher RPM band, while low-end torque is more valuable efficiency-wise since it leads to a more relaxed cruising with a lower RPM and a higher gearing. Must also remember that, with a colder intake stream, the higher oxygen concentration is leads the EFI to increase the amount of fuel injected to keep the air-fuel ratio.
