Yes it is true cold air, and there will be a small difference in sound, but shouldn't be too big of a difference.

Yes this is a true cold air intake. There will be a change in sound but not a big difference

We have an 06. Live in Florida so it's not "real" cold but I did notice that when it was cool the old ones were even worse. The new ones made it through this winter with no complaints. These should do the trick for you!

No. I was originally going to run the factory shroud around it bit have found it unnecessary and I live in southern Nevada. Temps have been very consistent even when I'm offroad in low range working the engine hard. I don't thonk you'll have to worry about it.

To me this is classic sound for a truck! I have them on a 78 bronco with a 460 motor and love the sound! Also same exact mufflers on a 56 f100 truck running a 302 and love the sound there. If your piped all the way over the axle the sound is perfect and not to loud. If u dump in front of the wheel or turn down before the axle it might be a little loud from the side but still would not be as loud as a flowmaster 40 series or anything like that.

I have the dual fans (4000 cfm) ... using to cool a 355 SBC they are quality units, work fine, however, they draw a lot of juice and are noise. I had to go to a 140 amp. alternator to carry the load. I'm going to put seperate switches so I can run 1 fan on cool days and 2 only when needed to drop the load and noise. engine mounted in a '74 260Z roadster conversion with tight engine bay so cooling, even with an alum. rad. and ceramic coated headers a task. Fans did the trick.

I have one on my 87. I had to put in air filter spacer. and move the temp sensor on my after market intake. but wasn't a hard install

With the placement for the subaru it does get cold air from in front of the fender. Short rams typically sit much closer to the engine causing it to pull hot air. So my answer is, it is a cold air intake.

Thank you for you interest in doing business with us!It would depend on what K&N; you are talking about. This particular product has the enclosed heat shield which will allow you to draw the colder air from outside rather than from the engine bay. If the K&N; you are referring to does not have the heat shield then yes, this would be a better intake. We hope we can earn your business on this product and many more in the future. Thanks again!

Yes it does. It's not too loud but you can hear it. I've had my afe cold air system on my truck for about 4months now and I hardly notice it anymore. Although I don't like it when I hear the whistle noise, I really like the overall sound of having the unit on my truck. Hope that helps.

I have this on my 2003 Silverado. Gives a good deep sound at idle and it drones a little down the road but definitely not overly loud. But my outlet on my truck is 2.75" and the inlet to the muffler is 3". Just a little sledge hammer modifications and some good welding and it'll be just fine!

This is a long cold air intake, it go all the way down underneath the front fender. Hope it help!

I have a 2012 F250 crew cab and I mounted mine on the left side frame under the drive door. It works well but is noise when I add air. I did make a cover to go over it to keep snow and ice off of it

I have never had a problem with cold air leaking in. I do live in Florida now and I really don't have cold weather compared to Illinois where I am from.I even had one of these fans in my home in Illinois and still did not have any problems.

It's essentially a flow master knockoff. Although it doesn't have the exact same sound as the flow master but close. Mine is on a v-8 Chevy truck with single exhaust, No cat and no tail pipe. It's notScreaming loud. Would be quieter with a tail pipe.

I have installed this air intake and it changed the tone of the engine but no you cant hear it..It looks really good under the hood though!!! You wont go wrong with this intake..

It will. You will lose power. It restricts airflow, thus lowering noise with baffling. Less air, less power. Why you adid a larher free flowing exhaust? More air more power. Hope this helps.
