Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from roto-molded HDPE, a high-quality plastic known for its strength, heat resistance, and smooth internal surface that promotes laminar airflow. This construction reduces turbulence and maximizes the volume of air delivered to the engine. The oversized High-Flow Air Filter™ uses multiple layers of oiled cotton gauze to trap contaminants effectively while allowing significantly more airflow than stock filters.

The custom heat shield is engineered to isolate the intake from engine bay heat, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the combustion chamber. This design helps maintain consistent performance even during extended driving or spirited acceleration.
