My intake is right behind my driver's side headlight. I made it out of 4" ABS and the biggest cone i could find. It was the first mod I did and I noticed a significant improvement immediately.

You also notice sound.

Lots of it.

Compared to stock.

Actually my air filter was surprisingly clean, especially for living in a refinery town. I just changed it a few months back. And yeah I agree the sound definitely added a psychological factor to my perceived speed gains. But even taking that into account I noticed a much "smoother" acceleration, kind of the same feeling I got when I installed the headers. Like things were just moving better. Ofcourse nothing was tested, so i could be wrong. So it's up to the individual. I say a good CAI will at best give you some gains and at least make your blower sound like a very whiny monster.
