Description
What is the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?
Cold air intakes draw cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, unlike short ram intakes which draw warmer air. Proper MAF calibration ensures optimal performance.

Airaid premium filters are reusable and can be cleaned and re-oiled, typically lasting many thousands of miles with proper maintenance. Check your owner's manual for details.
