It can boost horsepower by anywhere from 5-10hp. It can also increase mileage. It does both by allowing a greater and less restricted airflow into the engine, and in some applications a denser charge as well.

It can increase mileage, this is true. It can also decrease it if youre like me, and love the sound it makes when you give it the gas

Denser charge simply means more air per cubic inch. Air is less dense when hot and denser when cold, so even though it may always be pulling x amount of cubic feet per minute of air, the colder(denser) air will have more molecules of oxygen for the engine to burn. Some SRI and a well designed CAI will pick up cooler air than a standard intake or badly designed SRI.

Also there is nothing wrong with your thread/post. It only takes a couple minutes to answer, and we're always glad to help in any way
