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.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or features:
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
