Cold Air Intake Details

A below freezing air intake is an aftermarket stuff that can add miles to an engine's existence. Crisp air intakes combine bleak air, which is denser than ardent air, with fuel. This combination produces fitter combustion of the fuel, which has a cocksure effect on the engine.

Legalities

According to USC 50 § 2301 to 2312, a manufacturer's warranty is still valid even if the product has been modified unless the modification is the cause for the complications. This means that unless the vehicle manufacturer can prove that the cold air intake is the direct cause for problems with your vehicle, which is uncommon, your vehicle warranty will remain valid.



These models were manufactured by K&N Engineering.


Aesthetic Value


Car enthusiasts and restorers sometimes add cold air intakes that match the engine bay components to add eye appeal to the car. These intakes are available in a varied selection of colors and styles, including chrome.


Benefits


Installing a cold air intake has numerous benefits, including better gas mileage, better throttle response and more horsepower. Another benefit is that cold air intakes utilize reusable filters, while factory air intakes use paper filters that must be replaced every 15,000 miles.


Considerations


Generally, cold air intakes make the engine louder than factory installed intakes. Another complication comes when water gets into the intake, which can cause hydro-locking.


There are many matters to contemplate before purchasing and installing this component onto your vehicle.

History

The first commercially available cold air intake systems went on sale in the late 1980s.
