a cold air intake is an induction system that forces cold air into the combustion chamber, cold air is more dense than warm air so it contains more oxygen molecules. With more oxygen, fuel will then burn more effectively, thus increase horsepower.

You gain approximately 1% more hp for every 10 degrees cooler the intake air is. Obviously, colder is better.
Brand matters for durability, AEM is great.
