Any Short RAM intake will get you a MAX of around 2-3 bhp on a cold morning at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) . That's the problem with India. When it's hot outside and the air being sucked in is heated up in the engine compartment, you're not gaining anything.

A Cold Air Intake is great but if you drive it in the monsoon, then say goodbye to your engine block. Shame 'cause I've seen 8 horsepower gains from as little as 4000 rpms in some 4 cyl applications

My advice - put a good panel filter in your air filter box and save your money for a good catback exhaust - another 2-4 hp max.
