The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is designed to optimize your engine's performance by delivering a greater volume of cooler air. This results in increased horsepower and torque, enhancing your driving experience. The system maintains the original air filter location while incorporating a large open-element air inlet. This inlet is safeguarded by Cold Air Dam panels that ensure a consistent flow of cooler outside air to your engine.
The CAD panels are cleverly mounted in the factory air box location, utilizing existing cold air inlet ducts and adding extra passages for cold air. By sealing to the underside of the hood with blade-style weather stripping, these panels effectively isolate the filter from the heat of the engine compartment, ensuring optimal air intake. The system features a low-restriction intake tube and a 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter that is both washable and reusable. This filter offers superior filtration compared to traditional paper filters, making maintenance a breeze.
Installation is straightforward, requiring only common hand tools. It's essential to check the vehicle applications for legal compliance, as some AIRAID air intakes may not be legal for sale or use in California and other states with similar emission standards.
Users appreciate the noticeable improvement in engine responsiveness and power after installing the AIRAID AIR-303-175. Many have noted how easy the installation process was, with clear instructions and all necessary hardware included.
Several customers have highlighted the quality of the materials used, especially the washable air filter, which allows for long-term use without the need for frequent replacements.
