Cold Air Intake - Design Features

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:

    “You can make as good a design out of an American turkey as a Japanese out of his native stork.”
    —For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    ““It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
