How does an aftermarket air intake system work...
An air intake system replaces your existing stock one to allow more air to enter the engine. This is the single most important aspect to improve your overall horsepower and torque. With the increased airflow, the engine receives greater amounts of oxygen into the combustion allowing your car to run better. Most stock intakes consist of several twists and turns and chambers to muffle sound, which restricts the air, flow. Think of a small coffee stir stick and try sucking air through it. By doing this, the lack of oxygen would cause you to pass out. Now imagine breathing through a big Slurpy straw - much easier. Your engine reacts the same way. So the objective of an intake system is to create the least restrictive path of air into the engine. On average you can expect to gain between 5hp-11hp.
Short History of The Aftermarket Air Intake:
The aftermarket company K&N Engineering first offered air intake systems in the late 1980s. Those intakes consisted of rotationally-molded plastic intake tubes and a conical, cotton gauze air filter. In the late 1990s a proliferation of intake manufacturers such as AEM, Airaid, Injen, True Flow, and Volant entered the fray. In addition, oversea manufacturers imported their designs lending to the popularity of Japan domestic market (JDM) air intakes in sport compact markets. K&N and many of the other intake companies now offer intake systems in plastic tube designs, allowing a greater degree of customization (the tubes can be powder-coated or painted to match a vehicle).
Air intake systems usually include:
- Direct bolt on installation
- T-306 Aluminum Polished Aluminum Intake pipe as shown
- High quality built Washable and Reusable Air Filter
- All necessary hardware.
