Hybrid Racing HYB-CAI-01-10 Silicon Cold Air Intake Kit
New results require new ideas. That?s why we took a somewhat
unconventional approach when it came time to design our k-swap cold
air intake. Our hope was to provide something that could improve
upon the performance and appearance of competing cold air
intakes?and the finished product is just that. What we ended up
with was a true 3? intake that does a better job of keeping your
intake charge cool and your engine bay looking hot.
The most obvious feature on this intake is the 100%
glass-reinforced silicone construction. By using silicone, we were
able to create an intake that actually insulates the air going into
the engine. For k-swaps, this is particularly important since most
setups put the cold air intake directly behind the radiator. What
many people don?t consider is that since aluminum is such a
fantastic thermal conductor (hence why it is used in radiators), an
aluminum cold air intake will actually absorb heat given off by the
radiator. This increases the intake air temperature while
decreasing the motor?s performance. The silicone counteracts this
by acting as a thermal barrier (much like header wrap)...this leads
to lower intake air temps and a denser intake charge. Another
benefit of the silicone construction is that there is no need for a
coupler at the throttle body. The intake connects to the throttle
body with just a single t-bolt clamp, meaning less turbulence as
air enters the intake manifold.
A less noticeable but very important feature of this intake is
that it works with RBC, RRC, and PRB intake
manfiolds. Most competing k-swap intakes work with either the
PRB intake manifold or the RBC/RRC intake manifolds,
but not both. We took the extra time to create an intake that would
work with all 3! We know that many k-swaps start out with a
PRB manifold and are later upgraded to
take advantage of the more desirable RBC
and RRC manifolds. We wanted to take the
cost of a new cold air intake out of that equation, meaning more
money in your pockets. On top of that, we designed this kit to work
with OEM k-series throttle bodies
AND big bore throttle bodies. The
included t-bolt clamp is custom designed to fit both
applications.
And who can forget about looks?Everyone knows that with k-swaps,
making power and going fast is the name of the game, but looking
good while you do it doesn?t hurt either. That?s why we made this
one of the cleanest looking intakes on the market. When installed,
only the intake tube and a single t-bolt clamp are visible. The
hanger that attaches to the chassis is neatly tucked into the
driver?s side fender for the cleanest install possible. Available
colors include black, gray, and purple.
