The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake system is designed to enhance your engine's performance by delivering larger amounts of cooler air, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. This innovative intake system retains the original air filter location while introducing a generously sized open-element air inlet. The Cold Air Dam panels play a crucial role by providing a steady flow of cooler outside air, effectively isolating the filter from the heat of the engine compartment.
With its easy installation process using common hand tools, the AIRAID AIR-401-272 allows you to enhance your vehicle's performance without the hassle. The 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter is not only washable and reusable but also less restrictive than traditional paper filters, ensuring superior filtration and airflow.
This air intake system features a sleek black intake pipe and includes all necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation. The blade-style weather stripping ensures that the filter remains isolated from the hot air in the engine compartment, maximizing efficiency.
Before purchasing, check the vehicle applications to confirm compatibility and legal status in your state, especially in California and other states following California emission standards.
