It uses a restrictive, enclosed plastic resonator box and accordion-style rubber tubing that creates massive air turbulence. This turbulent air tumbles through the intake tract, causing the turbocharger to work harder just to pull in a breath of air. For a heavy-duty truck, this results in a sluggish throttle response and higher Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) when you’re trying to get a heavy trailer moving or merging onto the highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Engineering Fix:\u003c\/strong\u003e This system replaces that restrictive OEM plumbing with a high-flow, mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum tube. By smoothing out the airflow path and eliminating the internal baffles, we significantly reduce skin friction and air resistance. The included powder-coated steel heat shield isolates the washable cone filter from the radiant heat of the engine bay. This ensures that the air entering your turbo is as dense as possible, allowing for a more efficient combustion cycle and a much faster turbo spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Mechanics Choose This Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstantial Power Gains:\u003c\/strong\u003e Expect a 7-10% increase in horsepower and a 6-8% bump in torque.
