Short Ram Air Induction Intake System with Air Filter – Mitsubishi 3000GT NT 1991-1999
Product Description of the short Ram intake system for the Mitsubishi 3000GT:
Short ram air induction intake system for the Mitsubishi 3000GT NT is engineered to reduce intake restriction by smoothing out and straightening airflow. This design allows the Mitsubishi 3000GT NT engine to inhale a larger volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. The extended aluminium piping amplifies the effect by delivering colder air that contains more oxygen. The greater volume of air translates into a more powerful combustion (sound). The best of both worlds is at your fingertips. Short ram air intake system takes it to the next level by making installation a breeze. The short distance of the pipe allows air filter to be easily attached. The intake system comes complete with quality aluminium pipes, filters, hoses, stainless steel clamps, and brackets. Give your Mitsubishi 3000GT NT the ultra high performance look, aggressive tune and incredible horsepower gain it needs. * Does not come with CARB sticker please check with your State’s Motor Vehicle Department for regulation. Coupling and hose maybe in the colour of red/blue/black.
