Hi, Our California legal accessories will list CARB status once your vehicle information is selected. If it isn't listed please assume the part is not smog legal in California.

Hi, Filter cleaning really do depend on the conditions you're putting the filter through, but with normal circumstances, it would be a good idea to inspect and clean the filter every third or fourth oil change if needed. Cleaning is simply washing the filter out with approved soap and warm water and applying a thin coat of oil to the outside of it once it's dry.

Hi, The honest answer is your stock intake. Performance intakes eliminate the sound baffles that prevent the "whooshing" noise because they cause restriction in the intake flow. Most intakes can't be combined with a throttle body spacer too. The spacer moves everything attached to it a distance equal to its thickness. So, a relocated intake won't clear accessories and won't line up with the filter location.

Hi Tommy, The best intakes for mileage and power are ones that use a nylon or molded intake tube. We sell numerous brands like this but with filter styles that require different servicing. An oiled or dry filter both flow great, so it comes down to personal preference.

Hi, Both kits provide similar benefits and sound. The main difference is in the filters used. Afe gives your the choice of filters depending if you want to oil it periodically or keep things clean and dry.

Parts that are not “CARB exempt” (California Air Resources Board) may violate emission control system anti-tampering laws, and may not be legal for highway use in certain states. Check here for details and a list of states that follow the CARB standard.

It really depends on what you want from the kit. No matter which filter you choose, the intake kit delivers the same horsepower and torque numbers. According to aFe, the Pro Dry S delivers “maximum convenience with no re-oiling,” and the Pro 5 R delivers “maximum performance with maximum airflow.” Also, if color matters, the S filter is grey, the R is blue.

Hi Taboe, The sound that you describe is perfectly normal. Your factory intake was quiet due to the restrictive baffles built into it to prevent noise. As a side effect, these baffles also hurt your Tahoe's performance and mileage by restricting the airflow into the engine. The sucking/hissing noise is the sound of the air running through the intake tube and entering the engine. It sounds like you are on the right track to maximizing your Tahoe's performance and mileage. Many of our customers start with a cold air intake such as yours and see a 1-3mpg increase depending on their driving style. To take performance and mileage to the next level, complete the package with a cat-back exhaust system and programmer.

The MPG increase will be 1-3 depending on your driving style. All cold air intake kits that eliminate the factory silencing baffles will product more noise.

You're probably guessing that extra power, cooler temperatures and improved gas mileage can't all come from the same product. Guess again! Performance air intake kits can help your fuel economy in this wallet-gouging, price-per-gallon era by helping your air to fuel ratio get in line. Because you're getting more power from every drop by burning more efficiently, your engine uses less fuel at all times - city or highway. On average, drivers will see a 1-2mpg improvement. There's a catch, though. Many drivers trade their limiting air intake for a performance air intake and can't resist using every bit of the horsepower and throttle gains. They'll drive like mad to the grocery store. They might peel-out at stoplights. Or even race the cops. It's called hard driving, and it's the fastest way to burn-up the gas mileage improvements provided by a performance air intake. Your best bet is to keep your driving habits relatively unchanged, enjoy the extra power at the pedal, and collect on the gas mileage savings. For even greater engine efficiency and energy, match your new intake with a performance exhaust system and a performance chip. You?ll go flying past the pump with this trio of power-packed accessories.

They are very similiar kits, so you wont see a radical difference in performance between them. I would recommend K&N for the quality and warranty of their kit. I believe K&N invests quite a bit on testing new kits, so they tend to be more refined that other manufacturers kits.

No worries. CARB stands for the California Air Resources Board, and if you want to know which states are regulated by CARB standards, check out this link. This may affect what parts you can use legally on the highway, so it’s worth looking into. Hope that helps!

Hello. Thanks for asking, that’s a great question. A cold air intake has a tube that moves away from the engine to be able to bring in colder, denser air for more power and better economy. Most often the filter end of the intake will wind up positioned behind your bumper. A short ram intake will also help that 2.0 to breathe better, but being a shorter piece it will be drawing that extra air from a greater proximity to the motor, and therefore the air will be warmer and less dense, resulting in less performance than the complete cold air intake. Thank you.

Hi Randy. Installing an intake and exhaust will add some power to your Escape. While we do carry a cat-back exhaust from Magnaflow for your Escape, there are currently no intakes at this time. With that said, you may consider putting in a performance drop-in replacement filter which will be a nice upgrade from that disposable stock one.

You shouldnt have to adjust the idle, but I do recommed using a performance tune to take full advantage of the cold air intake. Your BMW will use multiple methods to control idle speed automatically such as the idle air control valve (IAC.

Not sure about the BMW, I installed the Grey (dry) on my 2011 F150 w / 6.2L mainly because I had heard that the Blue which you need to oil occasionally would interfere with the MAF sensor. Not sure if that is true, but.....

The difference is the enclosed filter box with the Si series, which ensures that only air from outside of the engine compartment is drawn in. The Si will make a few more horsepower and will help with fuel economy depending on your driving style.

There is a learning period for the ECU to take full advantage of a new intake system. As you drive, the engine control unit will gradually adjust and optimize your engines fuel mapping and spark timing as the factory programming allows.

Yes, with responsible driving habits its not uncommon to see a 1-2 mpg gain. With gas prices so high, its easy to see how quickly a cold air intake system will pay for itself.

If you can afford a 2011 Hemi why are you so worried about mileage? Anyways, You might see a tiny tiny tiny increase in mileage that will hopefully offset the cost of the filter. But hey we all do it! And we all feel better! I think once the filter is in we also forget about the mileage part of the sales pitch and try to find out if we gained One or two H.P.!!!!!!!!!! Also add a fancy exhaust for better mileage, yet it sounds so nice when I floor it........All in all mileage probably gets worse.
