Larger Airflow and More Aggressive Sound

One standout feature of this system is its ability to enhance the engine sound. The large air filter and intake tube work together to produce a more aggressive sound during acceleration, giving your truck a powerful roar. This boost in performance and sound not only adds to the driving experience but also improves fuel efficiency, thanks to a better air/fuel ratio.
