Risks
Aftermarket cold air intakes can pose a risk of damage to the vehicle.
- Hydrolock - The intake opening may be closer to the street than an original-equipment air intake, and more likely to introduce water into the engine when fording streams or flooded roads.
- Noise - Stock air filtration systems usually include resonator-based muffling tubes. Removing them reduces pumping losses but increases noise.
