This component, specific to certain performance-oriented vehicles, is an air intake system modification designed to enhance engine efficiency. It features a prominent scoop or inlet, typically located on the hood, that directs ambient air directly into the engine’s air intake. This forced induction can improve combustion and increase horsepower.
The advantage of this design lies in its ability to supply cooler, denser air to the engine, particularly at higher speeds. Cooler air contains more oxygen, which allows the engine to burn more fuel efficiently, resulting in increased power output. Historically, such systems were developed to provide a performance edge, often seen on vehicles intended for racing or high-performance street applications.
