A performance enhancement component designed for the specified vehicle model and year replaces the factory air intake system. This modification aims to improve engine efficiency by providing a greater volume of cooler air to the combustion chamber. The original equipment is typically restrictive, limiting airflow and potentially hindering engine performance.
The principal advantage of employing such a system lies in the increased oxygen availability for combustion. Cooler, denser air allows the engine to burn fuel more efficiently, potentially resulting in heightened horsepower and torque. Furthermore, improved throttle response and a more aggressive engine sound are frequently reported benefits. Historically, these systems have been a popular aftermarket upgrade for automotive enthusiasts seeking to optimize engine output.
