Design Features
Some strategies used in designing aftermarket cold air intakes are:
- Reworking parts of the intake that create turbulence to reduce air resistance.
- Providing a more direct route to the air intake by eliminating muffling devices.
- Shortening the length of the intake.
- Placing the intake duct so as to use the ram-air effect to give positive pressure at speed.
