How do you install an air intake tube?
Finish by installing air intake tube by fitting the boot end on the tube onto the air filter housing or mass air flow sensor while tightening the clamps snugly, do not over tighten. Some tubes will have an orientation tab which must be fitted into its proper slot.
What are the parts of an air intake system?
A good air intake system allows for clean and continuous airflow into the engine A modern car air intake system has three main parts – the air filter, mass flow sensor and throttle body.
What do I need to build an air intake system?
If you need to design and build a custom one-off air intake system, Spectre has you covered. Check out our air ducting components, air intake tubes, brackets, mounting plates, air intake hoses, coupler and hose clamps, couplers, reducers, silicone funnels and mass air flow sensor accessories.
How are air intake manifolds used in engines?
Simple intake manifolds move intake air along the shortest route, while more complex versions may direct air along a more circuitous route or even multiple routes, depending on engine speed and load. Controlling air flow this way can make for more power or efficiency, depending on demand.

Where does the temperature sensor go in an air intake system?
Most air intake systems include an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor somewhere near the MAF, sometimes part of the same unit. After being measured, the air continues through the air intake tube to the throttle body.
How does a hot wire work in an air intake system?
The hot wire uses a series of wires strung in the air stream. The electrical resistance of the wire increases as the wire’s temperature increases, which limits electrical current flowing through the circuit. When air flows past the wire, it cools, decreasing its resistance, which in turn allows more current to flow through the circuit.
