Is it huge? Nah. But it's there. Do cold air intakes work? Yeah, they do. But they're not forced induction; they are a modest gain. But a 5% gain in horsepower ain't so bad really... Especially not for a bolt-on...
Disclaimer: I don't have a CAI on my 4runner. I merely saw this post and was unimpressed by the lack of a foundation to the argument...

Not only that but if people are like me, who had their last car for 14 years small gains, such as MPG over a long period can add up.
