Cold Air Intakes are an excellent modification for any vehicle, as they bring in cooler air, instead of air that has been heat soaked by the engine. The putative principle behind a cold air intake is that cooler air has a higher density, thus containing more oxygen per volume unit than warmer air.

By completely replacing the restrictive OE air box and intake snorkel with a mandrel bent 70mm (approx. 3") diameter aluminum pipe finished in either a bright hand polish black white Sparkle Red Sparkle Blue yellow or silver paint. Routed down into an open area within the front bumper where cool outside air is drawn in through a serviceable cone filter. External air drawn from outside is on average 30-60°F cooler than air within the engine bay.

Increased air density and reduced temperatures are accurately measured by the car's computer through the use of a highly sensitive air mass sensor. The computer can then add more fuel to achieve the proper air/fuel mixture resulting in a bigger more powerful burn creating additional power.
