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.

Instead of drawing the air from your engine bay, a cold air moves the air intake point to the lower front of the vehicle away from the engine bay, thus exposing it to colder denser air (since hot air rises) and taking advantage of the forward motion of the vehicle to ram air into the intake.

it gathers cold air from as close to the outside air and as far away from the engine heat as possible and uses that cold air under pressure with fuel and an ignition to create a more effective explosion than it would with warmer air. due to the density of cold air compared to warm
