Key Features

Built to deliver both performance and durability, the Spectre Polished Air Intake Kit includes:

Construction & Design

The intake system features polished aluminum tubing that is lightweight yet strong, providing excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. The smooth interior surface of the tubing minimizes airflow turbulence, allowing the engine to breathe more freely. The included heat shield is powder coated in black to withstand high temperatures and shield the intake from engine bay heat, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the engine for optimal combustion.

The reusable air filter is constructed from high-quality cotton gauze media, treated to trap fine particles while maintaining low airflow restriction. This filter can be cleaned and reused multiple times, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice.

Performance & Sound

By increasing the volume and quality of air entering the engine, the Spectre Polished Air Intake Kit helps improve horsepower and torque output, enhancing overall vehicle responsiveness. The system also delivers a subtle, sporty induction sound that adds to the driving experience without being intrusive or overly loud.
