Product Description
Founded in 1997, AIRAID advanced the automotive aftermarket industry with the introduction of its AIRAID Intakes brand of air intake systems. Initially developed for light trucks and sport utility vehicles, the first AIRAID kits combined an open-element cotton gauze filter with an intake tube to produce an innovative, easy-to-install intake kit which dramatically increased air flow, horsepower and torque while improving overall engine performance. Within five years, explosive sales proved that Airaid's blend of technology and state-of-the-art materials were just what the performance parts market was missing. AIRAID Premium Filters were introduced in November 2002, securing Airaid's place as a leader in air management for both gasoline and diesel power plants. Airaid's product base now includes a wide variety of AIRAID Intake Systems, PowerAid Throttle Body Spacers and OEM replacement filters. Each AIRAID product line is the result of exhaustive research and development. Our in-house engineering team consists of both mechanical and industrial design engineers using the latest 3-D CAD modeling equipment to produce advanced designs that make more power right out of the box. A portable 3-D scanner and rapid prototyping machine allows AIRAID to test new products on our in-house Superflow flow bench and verify the unmatched fit, finish, and style that AIRAID customers demand. All products are then tested on our all-wheel-drive Mustang chassis dynamometer to produce real-world performance numbers. All AIRAID Premium Filters are produced in-house using only the finest materials available and highly specialized manufacturing equipment to ensure a level of quality control no other filter company can match. This is just one of many reasons why all of Airaid's filters are backed by our No Hassle Lifetime Warranty. All of Airaid's product lines are proudly manufactured in the USA.
The AIRAID Cold Air Dam (CAD) Air Intake is engineered to give your engine larger amounts of cooler air to produce more horsepower and torque. The intake system retains the original location of the air filter but delivers a big boost with the addition of a huge open-element air inlet protected by Cold Air Dam panels that help to provide a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air into your engine. The panels mount in the factory air box location and utilize any factory cold air inlet ducts that are present, while adding additional cold air passages to the filter. The panels also keep the filter isolated from the hot engine compartment air by sealing to the underside of the hood via blade-style weather stripping. Some CAD systems connect onto the factory air intake tube while others utilize a replacement low-restriction intake tube. The 360-degree conical AIRAID premium air filter is washable and reusable, less restrictive than traditional paper, and assures superior filtration. The AIRAID Cold Air Dam Air Intake is easy to install with common hand tools and is backed by AIRAID's exclusive No Hassle Lifetime Warranty. Some AIRAID air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal.

Performance Air Intake System
AIRAID intake system & Airaid replacement filters are products that have been in the aftermarket performance auto parts business since 1997 so they have an impressive history when it comes to the development of air intake systems. The company originally entered the market with an AIRAID intake system designed to improve sport utility vehicles and light trucks by combining an open element gauze filter with an intake tube. The resulting product enhanced the air flow in the vehicle and consequently improved overall engine performance and this first innovation proved to be easy to install and started the company on the road to success so that they are producing inestimable products for your car still today. Continuing in their quest for a superlative product they developed their premium filters in 2002 and this was instrumental in establishing their role as one of the inimitable leaders when it comes to air intake systems for diesel and gasoline engines. Their product line has matured over the years and now includes an extensive array of AIRAID intake system & and AIRAID replacement filters for a multitudinous selection of vehicles on the road today.
The AIRAID intake system & Airaid replacement filters are proud of the reputation they have established and in order to maintain their superlative quality products have a combination of mechanical engineers and industrial design engineers on their staff, providing them with the most up-to-date equipment available. Each and every original product is tested in several ways to guarantee a perfect fit and they accomplish this with their Super flow bench and their all-wheel-drive Mustang chassis dynamometer.
Most of today’s factory installed air intake systems are restrictive and can compromise the way your car performs and an aftermarket air intake system is a fairly simple way of solving this problem and increasing your vehicles horsepower and torque and at the same time making your car more fuel efficient, a big plus at today’s soaring gas prices. The replaceable air filters that come equipped in your car are generally too small to allow a generous air flow but with the aftermarket performance intake systems you are provided with a larger conical filter that improves the passage of air to your car’s engine.
Take a look at products like the AIRAID MXP Series Intakes on the LMPERFORMANCE web site with features like roto molded intake boxes that admit outside aid from the cold air duct location and with a sui generis shape capable to providing increased air flow throughout the area of the AIRAID replacement filters and affording a customer friendly bold-on application. And for the iconic Ford F-159 truck consider the AIRAID Cold Air Dam available on LMPERFORMANCE with a system that can be installed in your existing air filter location but which boats a huge open-element air inlet which accomplishes the goal of affording a non-restrictive flow of cooler air into your engine for improved performance.
AIRAID is so confident of their products ability to leave their customers satisfied they back up every product with a “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty so that if you are ever less than happy with their product you can just call them and they will gladly help you.
