The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is designed to enhance your engine's performance by introducing larger volumes of cooler air, which translates to increased horsepower and torque. This intake system maintains the original position of the air filter while significantly improving airflow through a large open-element air inlet. The Cold Air Dam panels work to ensure a consistent supply of cooler outside air, effectively isolating the filter from the heat of the engine compartment.
This intake system not only improves airflow but also features a 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter that is washable and reusable. Unlike traditional paper filters, this design offers superior filtration and less restriction. The CAD panels also serve as a heat shield, protecting the intake air from the heat generated by the engine, ensuring optimal performance.
The AIRAID Cold Air Dam Air Intake is straightforward to install using common hand tools, making it an accessible upgrade for car enthusiasts and casual drivers alike.
This product is street legal in all US states, ensuring you can enjoy enhanced performance without any legal concerns. However, please check the specific vehicle applications to confirm the legal status for your model.
Users of the AIRAID AIR-203-233 have praised its noticeable performance boost and improved throttle response. Many have commented on the ease of installation and the quality of materials used in the construction of the intake system. The washable filter has also received positive feedback for its efficiency and durability.
