Suction Intake Kit

The intake system of your car while effective as a stock system it is hardly up to the task of supporting higher horsepower and performance upgrades. It is important when tuning this system of the car to remove as much resistance while maintaining the integrity of your filtration system and allowing for smooth air flow.

There are a variety of kits available ranging from ones that just swap the stock filter with a more performance based and higher flowing one to those that replace all the stock intake piping and air box. The piping is most often aluminum and the boxes are as well. There are sometimes variations in the high end boxes in which they incorporate carbon fiber. No matter what they are made of they all allow for more air to be fed to the engine with less resistance and with them installed your engine will feel more responsive when you suddenly hit the gas.

It is important to remember that more air in the intake will only increase performance to a point. It will also lean your Air Fuel mixture out. Therefore it is good to accompany an intake kit with an AFC or other engine management that will allow for setting the mixture of you car to match the increased air intake. RHDJapan recommends Trust Greddy Airinx and HKS Super Reloaded suction kits.
