Construction & Design

The intake tube is crafted from roto-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material chosen for its strength, heat resistance, and ability to maintain smooth internal surfaces that reduce airflow turbulence. This construction ensures consistent performance and long-term durability under demanding conditions.

The oversized High-Flow Air Filter™ utilizes multiple layers of oiled cotton gauze, which provides superior filtration efficiency while allowing significantly more airflow than conventional paper filters. The washable and reusable design reduces maintenance costs and environmental impact over the life of the product.

A custom heat shield is integrated into the system to isolate the intake air from engine bay heat, helping to maintain cooler intake temperatures and improve combustion efficiency.
