The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is designed to enhance your engine's performance by delivering larger amounts of cooler air, which translates to increased horsepower and torque. This innovative intake system maintains the original position of the air filter while incorporating a substantial open-element air inlet. The Cold Air Dam panels ensure a consistent flow of cooler outside air into your engine, while also utilizing factory cold air inlet ducts for optimal performance.
The CAD system features a replacement low-restriction intake tube and a 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter that is both washable and reusable. This filter is less restrictive than traditional paper filters, ensuring superior filtration for your engine. The innovative design includes blade-style weather stripping that seals the filter from hot engine compartment air, promoting optimal temperature and performance.
This air intake system is street legal in all US states, making it a versatile choice for many vehicles. However, some AIRAID air intakes may not be legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. Be sure to check the specific vehicle applications to confirm legal status.
