Designed for both performance and aesthetic appeal, the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit delivers a significant upgrade to your vehicle. Its smoother than stock 2.75" mandrel-bent aluminum tube, reusable high-flow air filter, and powder-coated steel heat shield are proven to boost horsepower by 8.5 and torque by 8.3 ft/lbs. This kit is designed for a simple bolt-on installation and requires no tuning or additional modifications. The lightweight aluminum piping replaces the restrictive plastic air hose, optimizing airflow and maximizing engine performance. The reusable air filter, which can be easily cleaned with the HPS Air Filter Recharge Kit (HPS-AFRC), allows greater airflow while capturing particles as small as 5 microns. The custom heat shield effectively blocks radiant heat from the engine, ensuring cooler air intake for optimal performance. The kit includes durable high-temperature resistant, 3-ply reinforced silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps for a secure and reliable installation. With minimal effort, you can enjoy improved throttle response and better acceleration while showcasing a unique look and a deeper induction sound.

Andy's Auto Know Dictionary Term: Short Ram Intake

FAQs

Q: What's the difference between a short ram intake and a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.

Q: What is a short ram intake? Why buy a short ram intake?
A: Short ram intakes bring more air into your car's engine, which creates more power during combustion. Short ram intakes will help with throttle response and gives your car more power, while at the same time adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. A short ram 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 a short ram intake?
A: Short ram intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the short air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes.
