Cold air intakes bring cool air into engines, boosting fuel economy and performance. The added oxygen and lower temperature are responsible for these advantages. Mechanics providing Auto Parts Installation Service in Scottsdale AZ can add a cold air intake to an older vehicle that doesn’t have one. They also can swap out a standard intake with a higher-end aftermarket product.
Improvements in Gas Mileage
Many vehicle owners want these aftermarket parts only for the added horsepower. Some are interested in the improvement in gas mileage, but they question whether the improvement in gas mileage is worth spending extra for auto parts installation Service in Scottsdale AZ.
Say someone spends in the mid-range of $300 to have a cold-air intake installed. This is a project for which the part costs more than the labor, as installation is relatively easy for a skilled automotive technician. This person might achieve about 3 miles more per gallon during highway driving than was the case before. Although that may not sound like much, it can really add up during times when fuel costs upwards of $3 per gallon. Especially when someone commutes or otherwise puts a lot of miles on the car, the investment will be recouped. The driver gets to enjoy added horsepower as well.
In addition, some aftermarket intakes on certain makes and models are reported to increase fuel economy by up to 8 miles per gallon. The individual might want to do a little research and find out the details for a particular car or truck.

New car manufacturers normally just include a hose instead of this sleek-looking equipment.
