Original equipment air intake systems installed by the manufacturer of the car are designed to eliminate engine noise and in the process causes the loss of engine efficiency and power.
The use of a cold air intake is an aftermarket car accessory available in different colors and sizes. These aftermarket accessories are easy to install and are not as complicated as other aftermarket parts.

Cold Air Intake Systems for Better Fuel Mileage
Using a cold air intake filter alone will increase gas mileage on average from one to two miles per gallon of gas. When this aftermarket air intake is used with other performance improving aftermarket parts, gas mileage can increase one to two miles per gallon on average per each aftermarket part installed. So if there are three performance improving aftermarket parts installed, then a person should see a three to six miles per gallon improvement in fuel efficiency.
An aftermarket cold air intake may have some minor issues which people need to be aware of before installing one of these devices. If the aftermarket part is installed so that it is lower than the original equipment air intake system, a person should pay attention to how much lower. Water can be taken in through the air intake system if the aftermarket air intake is too low or driven through deep water it can damage the engine. The use of hydro shields can help prevent water from getting into the air intake but is not completely water proof.
