AIRAID AIR-201-196 Performance Air Intake System

The AIRAID AIR-201-196 Performance Air Intake System is designed to optimize your engine's airflow, delivering a significant increase in horsepower and torque. It retains the original air filter location while introducing a large open-element air inlet. This innovative design is complemented by Cold Air Dam panels that ensure a continuous flow of cooler outside air into your engine, enhancing performance.

The Cold Air Dam panels not only mount in the factory air box location but also utilize existing cold air inlet ducts, adding extra passages to maximize airflow. These panels effectively shield the air filter from the hot air in the engine compartment by sealing against the hood with blade-style weather stripping. The system connects seamlessly to the factory air intake tube, making installation straightforward with common hand tools.

Featuring a premium washable and reusable air filter, the AIRAID intake system is less restrictive than traditional paper filters, ensuring superior filtration and performance. Please note that while some AIRAID air box systems may not be legal for sale or use in California, the AIR-201-196 is street legal in all US states. Always check the vehicle applications for specific legal status.
