Cold Air Intake System
European Version
The ALTA Cold Air Intake system pulls cold air from
the ram-air duct in the grille in addition to pulling it through
the vent below the windshield. The air-box seals to the hood and
prevents under hood heat from entering the intake airstream. This
keeps the filter surrounded by a fresh air bath. Thus reducing
inlet air temperatures creating a cooler, denser air charge raising
HP, and torque. Read more below to learn more!
Cold Air Box
The ALTA Cold Air Box is formed from laser cut
aluminum sheet metal then CNC bent to perfection. Then
finished in a rich black texture powercoating for long term
protection and an O.E.M. look. Our airbox seals to the underside of
the hood preventing under hood heat from entering the intake
airstream.
Sound
With an ALTA intake system your car will make a
throaty, deep tone on throttle that is undeniably modified. You
will be able to hear your supercharger whining. Even the stock
one.
Foam Filter
Our high flow foam filter reduces intake restriction and increases
the surface area from which the engine can ingest clean air. Unlike
cotton and gauze type filters, foam filters allow for multi-layer
filtration. The ALTA Performance foam based filter
will trap dirt within the filter at many different levels. This
allows for better particulate restriction and will not reduce
HP as the filter gets dirty. Learn More
Intake Tube (Available on
AMP-INT-301)
The ALTA silicone inlet hose, connects the air box to
the throttle body. With a mirror smooth finish inside and out, the
silicone hose promotes increased air velocity traveling to the
engine. Unlike the corrugated and ribbed factory inlet hose,
turbulence is eliminated additionally the ALTA inlet
hose has a larger inside diameter to support the needs of your
supercharger at all boost levels.
Silicone Intake Hoses (Available on
AMP-INT-301)
The ALTA Five-Ply Silicone Elbow included with our
intake, is rated for 200psi, and 400 degrees. Like other
ALTA products this part is over built to ensure a
lifetime of trouble free use. This is one of the key features to
our intake as the bend provides the proper MAF (Mass
Air Flow) sensor reading and ensures no Check Engine Lights.
Power
ALTA is the only producer of a Cold Air intake system
that truly provides a steady supply of cool fresh air! Thanks to
our uniquely designed air-box, and smooth black silicone inlet
hose, the ALTA Cold Air Intake has proven a 10-12
WHP gain many many times over.
