Have you thought about how the intake manifold impacts your vehicle's performance? For our into-car mods, upgrading the intake horn/manifold is a simple yet highly effective move. Once installed, you'll enjoy a faster throttle response, giving you that race-car feel every time.
Before you dive in, though, it's important to choose a high-performance intake horn. This ensures the airflow is optimized, laying the groundwork for improved driving performance.
Why Replace Your Intake Manifold?
- Boost Your Horsepower
Aftermarket intake manifolds are designed to be more efficient, optimizing airflow and increasing air intake. Imagine doubling the air your engine gets—think of the massive improvement in acceleration and overall power!
- Save on Fuel
Want to save money in the long run? A more efficient intake system burns fuel better, meaning less diesel waste. Since we rely on our vehicles so much, especially with fuel prices constantly changing, upgrading your intake can be a long-term solution to keep costs down.
What Makes the Spelab Cummins Intake Manifold Stand Out
Optimized Airflow for Better Performance
- Advanced Design: The Spelab 6.7 Cummins intake manifold is built to guide air into your engine more efficiently, helping your engine "breathe" better. This means less air resistance and smoother airflow, which leads to more power and quicker acceleration.
- Smooth Internal Pathways: Inside the manifold, the air channels are designed to reduce air turbulence (imagine trying to drink through a straw with bumps inside it). The smoother the air flows, the better your engine performs.
Strong and Durable Materials
- Aluminum Construction: Made from high-strength aluminum, this 6.7 cummins intake horn is both lightweight and tough. It's built to last, even under extreme conditions, like when your engine is running hot or under heavy load.
- Heat and Corrosion Resistant: Aluminum also makes it resistant to rust and heat so that you can rely on it for a long time, even in tough driving environments.
Protective Coating for Extra Durability
- Multiple Coating Options: You can choose between a sleek painted finish or a tougher powder-coated option. Paint makes it look great, while the powder coating is extra resistant to scratches and rust, perfect if your vehicle goes through harsh weather or terrain.
- Built for Heat: The manifold is designed to handle the high temperatures your engine creates, ensuring it doesn't wear out easily over time.
Works with Other Systems
EGR System Friendly: This manifold is designed to work seamlessly with either the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system or an EGR delete kit.
When used with the EGR system, it helps reduce emissions and ensures compatibility with environmental standards.
Alternatively, pairing it with an EGR delete kit helps reduce carbon buildup, improving engine performance and longevity. This flexibility means you can choose the setup that best suits your needs without worrying about compatibility issues.
Ideal for Different Driving Conditions
- Improves Power and Acceleration: Whether you're driving around town, hitting the trails, or towing heavy loads, this 6.7 cummins intake manifold upgrade can give your engine the extra boost it needs for smoother and stronger performance.
- Handles High Heat: If you live in a hot climate or push your engine hard, the Spelab intake manifold is built to handle those high temperatures without losing performance.
- Great for Modifications: If you're into upgrading your vehicle, this manifold works well with other engine mods, making it a great choice for enhancing your car's overall performance.
- Long-Lasting: Designed to be tough and reliable, it's perfect for drivers who need a part that can handle long-term, everyday use without wearing down.
