Cold Air Intakes

When you install a cold air intake, you move the air filter outside of the engine compartment so that cool air can be sucked into the engine for combustion. This cool air is denser with oxygen, which means there is more fuel for combustion and more power for your vehicle. Your cold air intake also makes for freer airflow and less hot air building up in the engine compartment.

There are other benefits, too. An aftermarket cold air intake removes the need for a box to encompass the air filter, replacing it with smoother intake tubes. This allows the engine to have an uninterrupted air flow.

But will a cold air intake really enhance the performance of your vehicle? The short answer is yes, although the way in which your engine performance improves may vary. Improved horsepower and fuel efficiency are both possible, though not guaranteed; it just depends on your vehicle, the aftermarket product and the way that you drive. However, an aftermarket cold air intake can’t help but improve airflow and general vehicle performance.
