Air Intake System Buying Guide
|
|
As we mentioned before, getting a high-flow air intake system is always a good decision. They generally offer larger diameter inlet tubes that are smoother and allow air to move into your engine faster and with more volume. They also feature reusable filters that are a larger, conical design and facilitate increased airflow. Each of these kits feature a bolt-on design that requires no modifications and include all hardware necessary for installation. The top manufacturers are K&N, Volant, AEM, S&B, and AIRAID. Let’s take a look at the systems.

Ok, there is a K&N Air Intake under the hood and a Magnaflow exhaust system underneath. That's cool, but have you upgraded your suspension yet?
