The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is designed to enhance your engine's performance by delivering larger volumes of cooler air, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. This innovative intake system maintains the original air filter location while incorporating a spacious open-element air inlet. The Cold Air Dam panels shield the intake from engine heat, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh, cooler air to your engine.
These panels fit seamlessly into the factory air box location, utilizing existing cold air inlet ducts while adding extra cold air passages to the filter. The design effectively isolates the filter from hot air in the engine compartment by sealing to the underside of the hood with blade-style weather stripping. The system also includes a low-restriction intake tube, optimizing airflow for improved performance.
The 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter is both washable and reusable, offering superior filtration compared to traditional paper filters. Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools. Please check the product's vehicle applications to confirm its legal status in your state, as some AIRAID air intakes may not be compliant with California emissions standards.
Universal Fitment: This product is designed to be compatible with a variety of vehicles. We recommend conducting thorough research to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle model.
