A "cold air intake" does not actually induce cold air into the engine, but rather air that is not "hot." "Hot" air in the intake would be the result of an air induction system that allows air from right around the engine block or radiator to enter. The "cold" air would be any air that is not pulled from directly around the engine block or radiator, e.g. induction from the fender of the vehicle. You never really want to pull hot air in, but the difference between a stock air intake and a cold air intake is marginal, but depends also on the vehicle. A cold air intake will generally increase performance only marginally. But every bit helps if performance is what you are going for - if your car or truck is built up and made for performance, then the benefits will be greater on a high performance Corvette ZR1 motor as opposed to a 1984 4-cylinder Toyota Camry. Hope this helps!

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.
