A cold air intake can either work for or against you... it can increase your horsepower, and thus lead to improved performance, but only if it still allows you to maintain the ideal stochiometric ratio (the fuel/air mixture)... otherwise, it'll decrease your power and fuel mileage.

Will a cold air exchange shorten the life of your motor?

If you mean cold air intake or cold air induction (CAI), the answer is no. A cold air intake system is simply a more free flowing air intake. The intake tubing is less restrictive, and often draws air in away from engine heat, hence the name cold air intake. This could be lower in the engine compartment by the fenderwall usually. A cold air intake will ultimately make the engine run slightly cooler. A cooler engine is less destructive to the various components. So CAI will not shorten the life of your engine when properly researched, installed and used.


Does a cold intake make a car go faster?

This is a difficult question to answer. The speed of a vehicle is dictated by the throttle position. So in short, no a cold air intake will not make a car go faster. However a cold intake charge will in turn create a denser intake charge. A dense intake charge allows for more air to enter the cylinder for combustion at the WOT position and will potentially produce more power. The limitation of maximum speed on a car (when not considering forms of electronic limitation) is its ability to overcome drag forces. If more power is available, then the car may potentially travel at a faster speed due to being able to overcome the drag forces. Please clarify your question and i will be able to provide a better answer
