A system designed for 6.7-liter diesel engines that replaces the factory components responsible for channeling air into the engine. These upgraded systems typically consist of tubing, connectors, and sometimes an air filter enclosure, designed to improve airflow and reduce restriction compared to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. For example, a vehicle experiencing turbo lag or higher than normal exhaust gas temperatures may benefit from this modification.
The implementation of these systems offers several advantages. Enhanced airflow translates to improved engine breathing, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. Furthermore, the reduction in intake restriction can contribute to better fuel economy and lower exhaust gas temperatures, potentially extending the lifespan of engine components. Historically, these systems were developed to address limitations in the factory intake designs, particularly in applications where performance upgrades such as engine tuning or larger turbochargers were introduced.
