COBB intake systems utilizes several unique features in an effort to maintain optimal flow for performance while minimizing turbulence that can cause engine management problems. From a custom conical cloth air-filter element, a CFD-designed velocity stack leads to an unique air flow straightener grid designed to smooth the incoming air flow as it passes the Mass Air Flow sensor for precise readings. COBB intake systems utilize a performance enhancing design constructed from a high temperature plastic composite or premium aluminum tubing, saving weight and reducing heat transfer.
