afe intake

Advanced Flow Engineer, inc. (aFe) is a company that realized the need for high flow, high performance air filter and intake systems for the automotive industry. aFe was founded in April 1999 to address a dire need for high performance after market air filters.

AFe cold intake systems

aFe has developed three different cold air intake systems. aFe recommends for the largest performance gain is to replace the entire air box and intake tract with the aFe intake tract with our Stage 2 open air intake system. Conversely if you do not want to alter the factory appearance you could try their Stage 2 Si sealed air box which provides quiet power. For great savings and easy installation the aFe Stage 1 intake systems adds instant horsepower and torque.

aFe intake system

It is important to understand the workings of the aFe intake system and the enhancement of the Airflow and Volumetric Efficiency. What happens is there is a huge, high-flow conical air filter is the 1st step to increasing airflow to the engine. There are either steel heat shields or molded plastic air boxes that keep hot air out and fresh cold air flowing to the filter. Then Velocity stacks and specially design intake tubes provide uninterrupted airflow to the turbo or throttle body. combustion.

Three different aFe intake systems

The Stage 1 aFe intake systems have several key benefits that make it a easier to use intake system. The stage 1 aFe intake system offers easy installation at a great value, while providing instant horsepower and torque, along with quality and torque from a name that you can trust. The aFe advantage is the one-piece shield that does not use any additional brackets so the installation is easier. The rubber trim seal uses flexible rubber between the heat shield and vehicle hood, so that it blocks the hot air from the filter. The 3-angle adapter was specifically developed velocity stack that has 3 different angles to increase airflow from the filter to the intake tube. In addition aFe uses to of the line hardware like steel head bolts to assure the proper fit and longevity.

Stage 2 aFe intake

The Stage 2 aFe intake system has Dyno-proven performance, requires the replacement of the entire air box and intake tract which provides the largest performance gain available. The Stage 2 aFe intake system has a no floating tube, the built-in ram scoop forces air to the filter for better performance and efficiency. A raised clamp stop on the tube provides a better seal and less slippage. The Stage 2 also has a one-piece heat shield and like the Stage 1 aFe intake system, the Stage 2 utilizes the 3-angle adapter, high quality hardware.

Stage 2 Si an industry leader

The Stage 2 Si provides industry leading power gains with a sealed air box to provide quiet power, all while allowing their customers to keep the factory appearance. Like the Stage 2, the Stage 2 Si aFe intake system provides clamp stops, a 3-angle adapter and top of the line hardware. In addition to these upgrades the Stage 2 Si has a Ram air scoop that forces cold air to the filter, providing enhanced efficiency and performance.
