Air Induction Systems

The stock air handling apparatus of most vehicles is designed to save the factory money while providing passable performance for the average driver.  Upgraded air induction, or air intake, systems allow your car to breathe easier, which creates more horsepower and greater gas mileage.  The air intake or induction system is a device that allows air to flow into the engine, thereby lowering the temperature of the internal combustion and increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel.  Thinking of it as an air pump is one way of looking at the air induction system.

Some key factors to consider when thinking about an upgrade to your air induction system:  the diameter of the air intake should be big, the interior of the tubes should be smooth, and the air filters should be efficient.  There are a number of various induction kits on the market, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.  Thus, it is very important to converse with the professionals at Speed by Design to determine the best air induction system for your vehicle.
