Why would anyone need a cool air intake system? To any gear head that might seem like a silly
question, but you have to keep in mind that not everyone knows all there is to
know about engines and performance.
The thing is – in order to get more horsepower and more
torque from your engine, better breathing is necessary. In a nutshell, that means that you need to be
able to get more cool air to the engine in order to see gains in
performance.
In an effort to completely understand this, you really
need to get back to the basics.
Essentially, an engine is a huge air pump. Therefore, improving the efficiency of the
air flow is what is necessary to increase the amount of power you get.
When it comes to stock intakes, there are a few main
restrictions to the airflow. These are
found in the paper air filter that is inside the system and in the actual
intake box itself as well as the inlet that allows the air to get to that box.
The easiest and best way to get gains in torque and
horsepower while at the same time you are improving the air flow to your gas
engine is by installing one of the SynthaMax air intake systems made by AIRAID. These systems have been designed by computers
and then Dyno tested before being tuned to be able to extract to maximum
performance for your specific application.
The
Secret Weapon
This is really no secret – aside from improving air flow
to the engine, the air that gets to the engine with these systems is cooler
than what the engine would normally get.
Why is that important?
Scientifically speaking – hot air is not as dense as cold air. That basically means that there are more
molecules of oxygen in cod air than there are in hot air. More oxygen molecules means that the
combustion is more complete which then translates into more power.
These intake systems by AIRAID replace the factory
installed – and very restrictive – air box with what is called a CAD (Cold Air
Dam), computer designed one. This
separates the hot air in the engine compartment from the filter while also
getting more of the cooler air from outside to the filter. This charge of cooler, denser air is the
secret to getting more from your engine.
Most of the intake
systems made by AIRAID use your existing OE mounting points to make
installation easy and they are also smog-legal.
In addition to that, all of the AIRAID products are made from only the
best materials and they are also all covered by the AIRAID No Hassle lifetime
warranty.
