If a performance air intake works such wonders on my engine, why don vehicles come direct from the factory with one already installed?
Automakers design their vehicles to accommodate the greatest number of drivers and styles possible, which usually produces a vehicle tuned for average performance. A driver like you who is out for a little extra boost in power will find a number of performance upgrades available for your vehicle that average drivers just have no use for. In the case of a performance air intake, the stock version which is replaced employs a design based on reduced noise. The improved airflow and power provided by a performance air intake may increase noise slightly, but are much better suited for your driving style.
