Good for you, but they aren't.
A CAI is a great first addition.
The stock intake is designed to be quiet. So it has twists and bends and tubes and boxes and...
Get rid of that and the engine breathes more freely.
Go get a straw, put it in your mouth and breath through the straw.
Go get an empty paper towel roll and do the same.
See how much easier it is to move the air with the larger tube?
Same principal in an engine. It is nothing but an air pump. The faster and more efficient it can move that air, the happier and stronger it is.
Even something as simple as a new high flow air filter element can make a huge difference, especially with a tune.
