AC Air Intakes

Q: What do air intakes do? Why buy an air intake?
A: Air intakes bring more air into the engine, which creates more power during combustion. Air intakes will generally help with throttle response and higher power gains, adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. An air intake also significantly cleans up your under-hood appearance and makes it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.

Q: How do you install an air intake?
A: Air intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes. If you don't regularly work on your truck yourself, installing an air intake might be a great way to get started and get familiarized because it's perhaps the most simple bolt-on performance upgrade you can do. Alternatively, you can take it to a shop to have it installed and expect the labor cost to be low since it would be an hour or less of labor most likely.

Q: Do you have to buy an air filter if you're buying an air intake?
A: Aair intakes are usually sold with all the components needed including the filter and all adapters.
