Front Mount
anyone heard of a front mount cold air intake?
There is a type of cold air intake called the front mount cold air intake.
It is designed to look like an intercooler, so it sits right behind the gap on a bumper. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried a “front mount cold air intake” vs. a “regular cold air intake” behind the wheel well.
What are the positives and negatives of the front mount?
Thanks for your time.
Both are “cold” intake systems and the one that mounts in the front is generally a little more useful because you get faster colder air. But it also depends on where you mount the intake. Ideally if you mount it with no obstructions in the gap holes of the bumper, like you would mount a radiator or intercooler then you’d get the best bang for the buck.
Positives:
1. The faster your drive the more cold air comes in.
2. The faster you drive the more force the air comes in at. (minimal)
Negatives:
1. Depending on your car, the front mount intake may have a lot of piping which may slightly restrict the airflow.
Overall, I personally think the difference between the two are minimal and I’d go for the less expensive one or the one with a cleaner looking install. The air filter will only help you so much by itself. It becomes more effective as there are more mods, ie cams, throttle body, exhaust, bore, headers, etc. The more mods you have the more effective the cold air intake.
Hope that helps!
