Cold Air Intake Technology

jQuery Slideshow

aFe has designed FOUR different air intake systems to meet the needs of your power hungry engine. For a great value and easy installation our STAGE 1 air intake systems adds instant horsepower and torque. Replace the entire air box and intake tract with our STAGE 2 open element air intake system for the large performance gain. If you want to maintain a factory appearance our STAGE 2 Si sealed air box provides quiet power. The Momentum Sealed Intakes provide the maximum airflow with a filter integrated into the airbox.


Most of our intakes are available with a choice of our most popular filter media, Pro 5 R for maximized airflow, Pro Dry S for maximum convenience, and Pro Guard 7 for maximum protection.
