Cold Air Intake Systems
are used to bring down the temperature of the air going into a car or truck to increase the power of the internal-combustion engine. Adding a high-performance air intake from our collection is a quick and easy way to gain several benefits, including:
• Increase in horsepower
• Improved fuel economy
• Boost your throttle response
• Simple installation that virtually anyone
can complete
• A washable performance air filter that is
built to last
History...
K&N first offered air intake systems in the late 1980’s. These intakes consisted of rotationally-molded plastic intake tubes and a conical, cotton gauze air filter. In the late 90’s, manufacturers such as Injen, AEM, AFE, BullyDog and others entered the market, spurring many advancements and improvements.
All cold air intake systems operate on the principle of increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. Cooler air has more density given a certain amount of volume and cold air intakes generally work by introducing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay. The term "cold air intake", however, is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine.
Strategies used in designing cold-air intakes are:
• Increasing the diameter of the air intake,
allowing increased airflow.
• Smoothing the interior of the intake to
reduce air resistance.
• Providing a more direct route to the air
intake.
• Tuning the length of the intake to provide
maximum airflow at certain engine speeds (RPM).
• Using a more efficient, less restricting
air filter
• Intake systems come in many different styles
and can be constructed from metal, plastic, rubber,
or composite materials. Due to the limited time,
air actually remains inside the intake tubing, the
materials often do not impact a kit's ability to
deliver cool air.
