Parts For Your Aftermarket Cold Air System

What are all these pieces for your Honda Accord cool intake product. I'll bet you thought that this product was one large piece of hardware that was simple to install, just like the factory cleaner. Well unfortunately if you want the advantages of more power, great sound, and a good looking product, you will have to put up with various parts and do some installing of your new system. It's not hard, but you do have to follow the instructions.

Each manufacturer of an air intake system approaches their design from a different standpoint, which results in a different number of component parts that you must assemble and install for your new air system.

• You may purchase an air system like the Schmidt Motor Works Ram Air Cleaner Air Intake system that has a basic box (similar looking) which replaces your air system filter. Or you might wind up with an air system that has one or more tubes, made out of plastic, steel, Kevlar, fiberglass or even carbon fiber. If there are multiple tubes, then the air system kit will also include spacer and connection parts to join the system tubes. You might also have short pieces of tubes which connect to other components of your engine air intake system.

• Just as an example, if you had purchased an Injen MegaRam air system your parts would consist of: 1 - 3 &fraq12;" Air Intake system; 1 - 3 1/2 " Injen filter; 1- Molded 60 degree elbow; 2 - Medium clamps; 1 - Mini clamp; 1 - Sensor grommet; 1 - Vibra-mount; 1 - Flange nut; 1 - Fender washer; 1 - License plate frame (to advertise your new product); and 1 - set of system instructions.

• On the other hand if you had purchased an Airaid Intake air system for a Chevrolet Silverado "Classic" HD 6.0L V-8 system, your parts list would look more like: 1 - Airaid Premium Filter; 1 Rear Air Dam Coated; 1 - MAF Panel Coated; 1 - Filter Adapter; 1 - Airaid Intake Tube; 1 - Urethane Hump Hose; 1 - GM Coupler; 1 - Weather Strip 21"; 1 - Set of Instructions; 5 - 6-32 x 5/16" Screw; 5 - #6 Flat Washer; 5 - 6-32 Keps Nut; 3 - &fraq14; x 20 &fraq12;' Button Head Bolt; 7 - Flat Washer; 4 - Mg-1x25 Hex Bolt and 2 - #60 Hose Clamp. Wow! Lots of parts, so check out the instructions before you purchase an air intake system.
