What it does

Intakes change the induction sound and can help airflow, especially on modified engines. Air and fuel parts decide how well the engine breathes and how cleanly it runs, so the right part restores smooth running and can support more power on a modified engine.

Installation & tips

• Check that the mass airflow sensor fits correctly and clear any codes after install.
• Filter cleaning kit: Reusable filters need cleaning and oiling.
• Put the new part next to the old one and compare the shape, mounting points and connections before you install it.
• Work on a cool engine with the vehicle secured, and use a service manual for your vehicle for torque specs and procedures.
