Now if you had a SLA front suspension, could remove your strut towers, and had the right intake...sure you could but there is no point.....

A short ram intake is going to suck in more hot air than a fender well mount. The stock setup is a good setup with the air silencer removed and a K&N drop in filter. Seeing dyno results from an aftermarket CAI does show results but thats most likely from the better filter.

Two cold air kits will do more harm than good, typically one cold air kit will throw your mass air meter sensor loopy, but two cold air turbulent storms colliding in the mass air meter? lol.

Typically, no they don't.....If you have a fender mount CAI then yea the sensor does better at a slight tilt to get straighter air but it doesn't cause issues. Its the person that installs it that causes issues..
