CAI - car warm up time

[steinny72]

My CAI will be getting installed in a few days (hopefully lol) and i was just wondering - will the car get warmer quicker with the CAI installed as currently i can drive 2 k’s or so and the car still wont be fully warmed up yet? or will the CAI do the opposite and take longer for the car to warm due to additional, denser colder air coming in?

it wont effect the warmup time at all

When the car is cold my CAI sucks ...and it sucks loud lol...you should hear it in the mornings..

once its warm though it goes away.....i usually judge when the car is warm when i cant hear the cai anymore..

as for time...no dont think there is a difference.

Warming up your car equipped with CAI in the morning is a good way of letting your neighbour know you're awake.

lol is it really that noticable - i.e. idling will be that loud?

Doesn't your Cai sound like this in the morning?

LIke what Rollamods said, Warm up time isn't effected - it's just more entaining on the ears with a CAI
