In order to gain the highest flow possible, the velocity stack transitions airflow from the large surface area of the air filter and smooths its travel to the inlet pipes. This clean reduction accelerates the airflow into very high inertia while reducing power-robbing drag and turbulence.

Upgrading to IE’s performance intake system will unleash a symphony of eight-cylinder engine and turbo sound that will make the throttle more addictive than ever. You own a twin turbocharged 4.0L V8 powerhouse -LET IT ROAR!

Flow rate testing is performed to validate the design against the restrictive stock airbox. Using our in-house Superflow bench, the maximum possible flow rate in CFM (cubic feet per minute) is measured in gains over stock at a variety of test pressures (-in. H20). A higher flow reading means the intake system can support increased demands from ECU tunes and turbocharger upgrades.

The front inlet connects to the grill and receives a constant supply of ram air. Additionally, the aluminum bottom plate allows for an endless supply of low-pressure air pulled from beneath the intake. These two avenues ensure the air filter has a complete and unrestricted supply of low-temperature airflow for any power goal.

To ensure a perfect fit, 3D scanning tools are used to create a digital duplicate of the vehicle’s engine bay, grille, bumper, and hood. This provides an incredibly high-resolution environment to reverse engineer and prototype the intake design. This not only allows engineers to take advantage of all available space but also results in a perfect and extremely high-end install.
