Yes. But not by themselves. You need a more free flowing exhaust to benefit. You cant have more air in without more air out. Short intakes do nothing but create turbulance. Longer ones create a more even flow. Go with a reputable brand and open up that exhaust too! Do like he said but also go with performnce plug/wires/distributor cap/rotor to really benifit from it. you will have imroed performance and fuel economy.

the cold air intake changed your Mass Air Flow size, and your car will see, obviously, massive decreases in performance until it's fuel/air ratio is changed to accommodate the much leaner mixture. your car is tuned for the stock MAF, and that's why the stock one works fine. you have two options- 1. is buy another cold air intake with the same MAF size, or 2. take it in to get adjusted. once one of these happens, you should see an increase of about 10rwhp. so- I'd just get it tuned- after the fact, it'll still be cheaper.
