Frequently Asked Questions

Start with the exact year, make, model, and engine. Vehicles with the same name can use different intake layouts across engine options, model years, emissions packages, or factory equipment. Use Select Your Vehicle on {{website}}, then confirm the manufacturer application for the exact part number before ordering. Engine size is especially important on trucks that offer multiple gas or diesel engines.

Dry media is a good fit when you want simpler service without filter oil. Oiled media is designed to be cleaned and re-oiled according to the manufacturer’s procedure and may suit some performance applications. Choose based on the exact intake, driving conditions, and the maintenance you are willing to do. If you choose an oiled filter, make sure you also have the cleaner and filter oil specified for that media rather than using a general-purpose product.

It depends on the exact intake and vehicle application. Some kits are designed to work with the factory calibration, while others may require or recommend tuning. Check the instructions and application notes for the exact part number before purchase. Do not assume that every intake from the same brand has the same tuning requirement.

Check the exact part number and vehicle application for any applicable emissions approval, especially in California and other states that follow California emissions rules. Approval can be application-specific, so one legal intake from a brand does not make every intake from that brand legal for every vehicle. Verify the manufacturer’s current emissions documentation before buying if street legality is a requirement.

Many aftermarket intakes change intake sound, especially under heavier throttle, but the amount varies by vehicle and kit design. Power gains are also application-specific and should be judged from manufacturer testing for the exact part rather than a generic horsepower claim. Buy the kit for a verified fit and the specific airflow, service, sound, or performance characteristics documented for that application.
