Intakes are low output power adders that in all honesty are designed to make you feel better at the pump and allow people to say they have an intake on their ride, rather than a power adder that gives 15.8-23.7hp. I dont even think with fuel upgrades and reflash would those ridiculous numbers come up, not with this engine. LOL....15.8-23.7 That was not the answer to the question, rather an uneducated opinion.
i was talking about at the crank, I figured we were all talking about hp at the crank and yes 12-15 is reasonable, based on the engine's hp potential, cold air intake gives an average of 10-15% ,notice I said percent (%) increase, in hp based off of the engines hp before the application, so we'll take my car for instance, with 205hp AT THE CRANK, I would expect about 20-23hp gain, with the caliber putting out about, what is it 150 something hp AT THE CRANK, I would expect it to make 12-15hp after the modification which is modest since the cold air intake is supposed to add 10-15%like I stated earlierand the thing about feeling the hp gain WAS a joke if you had actually noticed what i had wrote
