Description

The AIRAID Cold Air Dam Air Intake delivers more airflow to maximize horsepower and torque. Its factory filter location is retained, and CAD panels protect a spacious open-element inlet for reliable, free-flowing performance. The 360-degree conical AIRAID Premium Filter is washable, reusable, and less restrictive than traditional paper while delivering consistent filtration performance. The panels keep the filter isolated from the hot engine compartment air by sealing to the underside of the hood via blade-style weather stripping. Installation of the Cold Air Dam Air Intake is simple and requires only common hand tools.

Features & benefits

  • Equipped with a washable and reusable synthetic air filter media that provides long-lasting performance, easy maintenance, and cost savings over disposable filters.
  • Engineered to increase horsepower and torque by delivering greater airflow and reducing intake restriction, giving your engine a stronger, more responsive power curve throughout the RPM range.
  • AIRAID’s signature Cold Air Dam (CAD) panels are strategically positioned to help block out hot engine bay air, allowing cooler, denser outside air to reach the filter for improved combustion and more consistent power.
  • Designed for simple, straightforward installation using commonly available tools so that most enthusiasts can complete the upgrade in under an hour with no cutting or drilling required.
  • Features a Dryflow premium filter engineered to deliver exceptional filtration efficiency while supporting increased air volume for maximum performance gains.
