I've never had a problem at the dealer with it, they think it sounds cool.Quote, originally posted by POLO »And,at winter,cai can cause problem with the cold air airflow with the cold month's of Montreal?.. I'm in Indiana USA and I've never had a problemhope that helps

When you install the intake the sound it makes when you mash the gas is addicting making you mash the gas all the time losing mpg on fuel.

The engine will breath better all around and when normal drving will get more MPG. Keep your foot out of it and you will see it but who can do that? Got one on my Vette and it is FUN!!!!Cannot speak for the Vibe but I did have one on a 1998 Z24 and took it off for the winters. I did notice the filter was damp once and did not want it to freeze or worse. The Z24 CAI sat behind the fascia and got water from the bottom of the sidemarker light. I did eventually make a shield for it. Also, I did not need the extra power in the winter and I could also clean it in antispation for spring.

I added a Injen CAI and Magnum Exhaust 6,000 mile ago to my 03' GT, mostly highway driving. I log my MPG each fill up. My MPG went from an average of 27.5 to 29.I expected the opposite.
