What Is a Cold Intake?
- Cold-air intakes usually cost about $200 to $300.
- Cold-air intakes take advantage of a large cone-shaped air filter. These air filters provide greater surface area than the filter in stock-air intakes, allowing a greater volume of air to be taken into the engine at once.
- Cold-air intakes also use aluminum piping with a large diameter. The large diameter of the pipe allows for a large amount of airflow unlike the smaller, restrictive piping on the stock intake.
- Cold-air intakes, depending on the vehicle that they are installed in, usually yield an extra 10 horsepower.
- The extra horsepower from a cold-air intake can translate to improved acceleration in a car.
