Delving Deeper Into Auto Cool Air Intakes
If you want to increase the performance of your vehicle
, you should consider replacement of original cool air intake. To restrict the engine noise, factory fitted CAIs are very restrictive which also limits the efficiency of engine as well .There are so many of cool air intake (CAI) brands available in market such as AEM cool air intake, KN, Fujita and Injen. To understand the correlation between air intake and performance of your vehicle, lets understand the function of CAI.CAI is an operational system that is used to drain out toxic gases made during the internal combustion in a vehicle. For environmental aspects and cool the gases, cold air mainly oxygen is passed in the pipe.. Mainly a CAI system comprises of cylinder head, turbocharger, a convertor and a silencer or muffler. Most of the time, the CAIs are also referred as performance exhaust as they boost and amplify the performance of a vehicle. If you been to local auto store, you may have overheard mechanics talking about KN cold air intake or others.
The benefits of installing a CAI are:
Benefit One: The engine gets increased horsepower and torque.
Benefit Two: As the diameter of exhaust pipes is widened, the throttle response is increased.
Benefit Three: When the gas prices are increasing day by day, you get increased fuel efficiency.
The Disadvantages of CAI are as follow:
Disadvantage One: As the aftermarket CAI like AEM cool air intake are lower fitted in comparison to the factory intake pipes, water can crawl into your engine on waterlogged roads. So, if the filter gets completely submersed into water, hydrolock can occur. You can use hydro shields to protect your engine against water.
Disadvantage Two: An aftermarket fitted CAI can increase the noise coming from an engine as the resonance of silencer tubes is increased. Though, most of bike and car owners consider this as desired effect of installing CAI.
Disadvantage Three: Most of the branded auto manufacturers exercise the right of denying auto warranty for vehicles which have aftermarket CAI modification. So, to solve this issue you can consult with the dealer of the company and install CAI only of verified and branded manufacturer like KN cold air intake or Fujita intake .
