How They Work
The cool air is usually tapped from within a fender and often the factory air inlet does the same. However, factory filters and tubing are often too restrictive to promote strong performance, so using a popular high-flow air filter in tandem with larger pipe diameters can dramatically increase the flow and subsequent power. Combine this with the cooler, denser air in the fender well and you've got the makings for more power.
There are potential problems, however, that should not be ignored. Often, relocating the air intake to the fender well increases the chances for ingesting moisture during rainy weather. If you suspect your air intake could be exposed to such moisture, you should reconsider the location. If you have well-defined dry and rainy seasons you might consider changing the air intake location during the wet months. Ingesting too much water into the engine can cause it to internally "hydraulic," in which pistons and valves are bent and damaged under the pressure of compressed water. Aftermarket company, K&N Engineering first offered air intake systems in the late 1980s. Those intakes consisted of rotationally-molded plastic intake tubes and a conical, cotton gauze air filter. In the late 1990s a proliferation of intake manufacturers such as AEM, Airaid and Volant entered the fray. In addition, oversea manufacturers imported their designs lending to the popularity of Japan domestic market (JDM) air intakes in sport compact markets. K&N and many of the other intake companies now offer intake systems in metal tube designs, allowing a greater degree of customization (the tubes can be powder-coated or painted to match a vehicle). All cold air intakes operate on the principal of increasing the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. Because cooler air has more density for a given volume, cold air intakes generally work by providing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay. However, the term "cold air intake" is often used to describe other methods of increasing oxygen to an engine, which may even increase the temperature of the air coming into an engine.
