Intake:
One of the easiest ways to add horsepower to any car is to draw cold air into the engine intake and to keep various engine parts cool such as the alternator or other independently powered devices that may generate heat.  Using a cold air intake (CAI) to route air into the engine from outside the engine bay is an effective way to increase horse power. 

Cooler air is more dense and oxygen rich.  The more oxygen the higher the compression in the cylinder and the greater the horsepower.  At the high revolutions the stock engine intake system can also restrict airflow.  The combination of hot thin air and restricted flow can cause an engine to run "lean" robbing the engine of horsepower.

Parts:
3.5" remote Cold Air Intake (CAI)
Description: Carbon Fiber cold air intake duct and filter
Benefits: Draws cold air from the left front wheel well.  Colder air is more dense and provide better combustion and thus horse power.
Headlight Intake Cover
Description: Fiberglass headlight replacement cover with intake
Benefits: Cold air is forced into these intake ducts.  The air can be feed to an intake and/or routed to other parts of the engine bay using 3" silicon tubing.
