How to Choose an Air Intake

Cold air intake kits are a popular choice among enthusiasts who are looking to optimize engine power and performance. The process of combustion requires fuel to burn, a heat source to ignite it, and air to supply oxygen. That air is drawn into the engine through a vehicle’s air intake system, but stock systems are designed in a way that sacrifices optimal air flow (and maximum horsepower) in favor of quieter performance. A performance air intake is a popular and affordable upgrade that allows you to get more power from your engine by creating a larger, straighter airflow path than stock...

How to Choose an Air Intake

Cold air intake kits are a popular choice among enthusiasts who are looking to optimize engine power and performance. The process of combustion requires fuel to burn, a heat source to ignite it, and air to supply oxygen. That air is drawn into the engine through a vehicle’s air intake system, but stock systems are designed in a way that sacrifices optimal air flow (and maximum horsepower) in favor of quieter performance. A performance air intake is a popular and affordable upgrade that allows you to get more power from your engine by creating a larger, straighter airflow path than stock systems.

One of the more popular styles available is a cold air intake system.

The Benefits of Adding a Cold Air Intake

The performance improvements that a cold air intake offers over a stock system stem largely from two design characteristics. First, a cold air intake reduces restriction on the intake air and utilizes larger intake tubes for increased airflow to the engine. Second, it positions the air filter in a location that allows it to draw in cooler, more oxygen-rich air. By upgrading to a cold air intake you can achieve up to 20 percent more power, quicker throttle response, cooler engine temperatures (potentially increasing service life), and moderately better gas mileage—not to mention a high performance sound.

Cold Air Intake vs. Short Ram Intake

One of the most popular performance alternatives to a cold air intake system is a short ram intake. Both will outperform a stock system, but they differ in terms of their advantages and functionality. Whereas a cold air intake draws in cooler, denser, more oxygen-rich air from outside of the engine, a ram air intake draws warmer air from inside the engine bay. In real-world driving, a short ram intake offers the advantage of faster throttle response and more complete fuel combustion, but a cold air intake usually will give you more top-end power.

Beyond the performance considerations, each type has a different sound quality. Both are noisier than a stock intake, but short ram intakes usually produce a lower-pitched, throatier sound. It’s up to you to choose which you prefer.

Which Cold Air Intake to Get

Summit Racing carries a wide range of cold air intake kits and systems designed to let your engine breathe better, including options from K&N, AEM Power, Injen, Volant, and Airaid.

S&B Filters Cotton Filter Cold Air Intake Kits

S&B Filters cotton filter cold air intake kits are designed to improve airflow and bring down the temperature of the air that enters your engine. To achieve more airflow S&B oiled cotton filters are built with four or eight layers (for diesels) of the highest-quality cotton gauze. They use deeper and wider pleats with more pleats per filter. Plus, their manufacturing process yields filters with almost no "bleed", creating a greater open surface area. All of this adds up to more surface area per filter, and that means more airflow with excellent protection. All S&B cotton air filters are washable and reusable and will protect your engine from harmful dirt and debris. Your rig will not only gain performance, but also a sporty high-tech appearance under the hood. In addition, the filters and couplers are made with silicone rubber, not urethane, to help ensure they won't degrade or crack and can resist temperatures as high as 400 degrees F. These intake kits are simple to install, and the great looking signature clear lid allows visual inspection of your filter at all times. Remember, there are good air intakes … and then there are the better intakes--demand the better; choose the efficiency and style of S&B Filters cold air intake kits. Features include: * Helps balance air/fuel ratios to improve gas mileage * Specially-crafted cross-linked intake tube minimizes restriction * Custom air box keeps loose dirt and turbulent underhood air out of your intake * Custom-made for your specific year, make, and model * Easy-to-use installation instructions and illustrations * With the included mounting hardware, replaces your stock tract in 30 minutes or less
