Before You Buy
What You Need to Know About Cold Air Intakes
Cold Air vs Short Ram
Cold air intakes draw from outside the engine bay for cooler, denser air and more power. Short ram intakes stay under the hood for easier install and lower cost.
Filter Maintenance
Oiled filters need periodic cleaning and re-oiling; dry filters are maintenance-free longer. Choose based on your preference for performance vs convenience.
CARB & Emissions
Some intakes have CARB EO numbers for 50-state legal use; others are for off-road only. Check before buying if you're in California or an emissions state.
Tuning
Most cold air intakes are plug-and-play with no tune required. Some benefit from a tune for maximum gains. Check manufacturer notes for your application.
