The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is designed to boost your engine's performance by delivering a steady flow of cooler air. This results in increased horsepower and torque, making your driving experience more exhilarating. The system retains the original air filter location while incorporating a large open-element air inlet, protected by Cold Air Dam panels. These panels ensure a continuous supply of cooler outside air, enhancing your engine's efficiency.
The CAD system features a heat shield that protects intake air from the heat generated in the engine bay, ensuring that your engine receives the coolest air possible. The 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter is not only washable and reusable but also less restrictive than traditional paper filters, providing superior filtration and longevity.
This air intake system is compatible with various 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 determine the legal status for your vehicle.
Users have noted significant improvements in throttle response and overall engine performance after installing the AIRAID AIR-303-165. Many appreciate the straightforward installation process, which can be completed with common hand tools. The washable filter is a favorite feature, allowing for easy maintenance and long-term use.
