looks like a really cool idea, wondering if anyones used one or heard
more on them? uses Co2 to super chill a metal bulb that sits in the intake tube to cool the ait as it passes by. if it worked well seems like a good investment for just over $100

I'm going to go ahead and say it would be a waste of money on a N/A car and of marginal benefit if any on a F/I car.

"Colder" air on a N/A engine doesn't always equal better. As a matter of fact most aftermarket "Cold Air" intakes benefit really has nothing to do with temperature isolation, it comes from a better flow path and re-routing to a source with more air available.

Chilling air in a N/A engine after its already in the pipe won't really do anything, and even if it did, the "35%" cooler air (which is likely a dubious claim) isn't a significant enough air temp change to make much more power. I mean, on an 80 degree day, dropping you temp -35% from ambient is 52 degrees. Most N/A street cars aren't going to run THAT much better between the two. Second, the evaporator is too small, air goes by it so fast its not likely to have a significant effect on temperature when its moving at the speed it does coming into an engine. It might drop air temps flowing 10 CFM but not at a couple hundred.

Put this one in the pile with the "Tornado" air inserts and fuel line magnets man. Don't waste your money.

just another gimmick to get people to waste money on a useless product.
