Can a bad intake manifold cause engine damage?
Engine overheating. If the intake manifold gaskets leak coolant into the intake manifold the engine may overheat as a result, without any visible external leaks. Any coolant leaks should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of serious engine damage occurring due to a bad intake manifold gasket.
Why is my air intake not measured by MAF?
Since this air has not been measured by the MAF, it can cause a lean condition with poor driveability, and the unfiltered air may carry dirt that could damage your engine. If you find any damage, we have the ducts and hoses you need to make your air intake system as good as new.
Can a leak in the intake manifold cause a bad smell?
Some intake manifold gaskets also seal engine coolant, and if the gasket wears out it may lead to a coolant leak. This may produce a distinct coolant smell, along with steam, and drips or puddles of coolant underneath the vehicle. Coolant leaks should be addressed as soon as possible, in order to prevent them from becoming a greater issue. 3.
What causes intake manifold gaskets to wear out?
As the vehicle acquires mileage, the intake manifold gaskets may wear out and eventually leak. This can cause major performance issues, as the intake manifold gaskets seal engine vacuum and pressure.

How does a short ram air intake work?
Our short ram air intake designs place the air filter within the engine compartment, and feature a shorter tube length—an economical alternative to a complete cold air system that still offers performance, value, and ease of installation.
