Maybe you don't have a expensive sport car in your garage, but it doesn't mean your car can't behave like one. There is a way to get more from your engine performance with cold air intake kits.
Your car already has a standard air intake system, but it's setup to give you just a standar response. Performance modifications are about modifying your engine so that it will receive more cold air into the engine. With more air, you will have bigger explosions in your combustion process, and your car will go faster and harder.
So how does it all work? Basically, cold air intake systems help with combustion, the process of the fuel burning and creating the energy to propel the car forward. The colder the air, the denser it is. Denser air expands a lot more during the combustion process, resulting in a bigger bang and bigger power when you depress the gas pedal.
Look closely next time you see a heavily modified street or race car: those kits are specially customized with vents along the sides and gaps in the bumpers to aid with air intake, which further enhances general performance. A simple form of air intake is the short ram air intake that introduces air from around the engine bay into the motor works. All you need to do is replace your car's original air box with a tube attached to a cone filter.
It's the quickest mod you can make, and because there's less coverage in that area of the engine, you'll get a really mean, guttural roar below your hood. You could also replace your car's original respiratory system with a complete cold air intake system. Usually fitted to performance or modified cars, the cold air intake sucks in cool air from around the front bumper, the wheels wells and from inside the scoops of the body kit.
The most important part of adding performance parts to your vehicle is maintenance. You must always keep the air tracts of your cold air intake kits in top shape, making sure they are always clean and without dust or dirt. This could get into the engine and compromise your performance.
Don't be afraid to spend money on top quality parts that won't snap off when you take corners a little too aggressively. Invest in a lifelong air filter that you can remove, wash and oil regularly so that dirt particles don't pass through into the engine.
