Short Ram Air Intake For Saturn S-Series (1991-1999) with 1.9 DOHC Engine Red

Wake Up the LL0: High-Flow Induction for the Saturn S-Series

Who It’s For: Engineered for Saturn S-Series owners running the 1.9L LL0 DOHC or LKI SOHC powerplants who are tired of the stock sluggishness and the restrictive factory air box.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the 1.9L engine is designed for silence and cost-efficiency, not performance. It utilizes a series of restrictive resonator boxes and accordion-style rubber tubing that creates massive air turbulence, effectively choking the engine’s throttle response when you try to merge onto the highway or pass. Because the stock system is so baffled, the air enters the combustion chamber in a chaotic, tumbling state rather than a smooth, high-velocity stream, leaving your Saturn feeling breathless in the mid-to-high RPM range.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plastic plumbing with a mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum tube. By providing a straight, smooth airflow path, we significantly reduce fluid friction and maintain air velocity into the manifold. The relocation of the filter and the removal of the factory baffles increases the oxygen density entering the combustion chamber, resulting in a sharper throttle snap and a deep, aggressive induction growl that the LL0 engine was always meant to have.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Optimized Power Delivery: Expect a documented increase of 7-10% in Horsepower and 6-8% in Torque, specifically addressing the 1.9L engine’s struggle with low-end lag.
• The Induction Roar: Eliminates the factory "hush" boxes to provide a deep, sporty tone that resonates under hard acceleration, letting you know the engine is breathing freely.
• Professional Grade Build: Constructed from lightweight, heat-dissipating T-304 aluminum with a washable, reusable high-flow cotton cone filter for long-term sustainability.

The Performance Promise

Buy with confidence. This kit is designed to be a direct bolt-on installation using basic hand tools. To ensure your vehicle’s ECU accounts for the significant increase in air volume and oxygen density, we recommend disconnecting the battery for several minutes after installation to allow the computer to re-map based on the new flow data.
