Why Upgrade Your Factory Air Box?

• That V8 Rumble: Transform your engine's intake note from muted to muscular with a deeper, more satisfying sound
• Professional Appearance: Replace bland factory plastic with sleek black aluminum that looks like it belongs in a performance car
• Long-Term Savings: Stop buying disposable filters every year—our washable filter is a one-time investment

Simple, Fast Installation

This is one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make to your engine! Most Panther platform owners complete installation in just 10-30 minutes using basic hand tools. The process is straightforward: remove your factory air box assembly and install the new performance intake system. No complicated procedures, no special tools required—just simple bolt-on performance.

After installation, disconnect your battery terminal for 30 seconds to allow your vehicle's computer to recalibrate and recognize the increased airflow for optimal performance.
