Q:	Quick Tips for Cold Air Intakes Installation:
A:	With so many brands and applications available in the market, we recommend reviewing the instructions for your system thoroughly before to installing an air intake system.  For systems that do not come with installing guide, we recommend you to research for some installation reviews to continue the install. The tip of installation is, Do NOT completely tighten the clamps and brackets down for your cold air intake System until the end of the installation. Most of the cold air intake systems are engineered with exact fitment, it is sometimes necessary to maneuver the system to its mounting points during the installation process. Tightening all of the clamps and brackets as you go will make this procedure difficult, so you should tighten them up just enough to hold the position of the intake system and only tighten all fittings and connections once installation is completed and the position of the system is properly aligned.
Q:	What is a C.A.R.B. E.O. number?
A:	Certain manufacturers carry or are pending approval for a California Air Resources Board Executive Order (CARB EO) number, exempting them from the prohibitions of California Vehicle Code (CVC) 27156, which states that you cannot modify your vehicle in the area of the emission control system. The C.A.R.B. E.O. number allows you to legally equip the  air intake system  on your vehicle. Please check with the manufacturer's website for detail.
Q:	What’s the Difference between a Cold Air System and a Short Ram? Provided by AEM
A:	In most cases a CAS will out perform a SRS throughout the useable power range. AEM emphasizes developing power in the lower to mid range of the power band, since this is the area of the power band typically used in daily driving. A CAS is typically longer and places the air filter outside of the engine bay to achieve ambient inlet air temperatures. A SRS places the air filter under the hood and uses a shorter inlet pipe than the CAS. In some cases, the SRS is preferred over the CAS due to inlet tract length tuning. The power advantage gained by using the correct diameter and length of tube negates the advantage of cooler inlet air in these cases. In these instances AEM only offers SRS in some cases because there was no advantage to using the CAS. These applications are noted in the search results.
Q:	Will an intake void my new car warranty? (Provided By AEM)
A:	NO. The only time this can happen is from improper installation that causes damage to a vehicle system. If a service technician denies your warranty claim ONLY because the car is modified with an AEM intake system and the vehicle system failure was not a direct result of the installation and use of an AEM intake, please refer him to the Magnusson Moss Warranty act. You can download the Magnusson Moss Warranty act from SEMA’s website at: http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=60128.
Q:	What does the soft mount do and how important is it? (provide by AEM)
A:	The majority of AEM air intake system designs mount to a vehicle in two locations. One mounting location is to the engine at the throttle body and the “cold” or filter end of the inlet pipe mounts to the body of the car. The movement of the engine on the engine mounts allows it to rock inside the engine bay, so we compensate for engine motion by using a soft mount that provides a flexible link for the inlet pipe between the engine and the body of the car. If you do not install the soft mount properly the inlet tube may break at the bracket weld and void the warranty on the intake system. Our instructions provide a detailed diagram of proper installation of the soft mount, and are viewable from the search results page for each application.
Q:	How many HP will I gain with the air intake system?
A:	The number of HP increase is depending on the condition of your vehicle. For most cars, you will expect 3-15 HP gain after the installation. However, the actual number differs by the amount of modifcations you already have and the actual mechnical condition of your car.
Q:	What is the warranty on my air intake system?
A:	Some manufacturers do carry life-time warranty on air intake sytems, please visit our manufacturer's product website for the warranty detail.
