  • Will aFe Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer Part # AFE46-38008 Affect 2012 Toyota 4Runner Warranty
  • Use of an engine performance enhancement product such as the AFE Throttle Body Spacer, part # AFE46-38008, will not in and of itself immediately void a vehicle manufacturer warranty.

  • Will the aFe Mach Force XP Cat-Back # AFE49-46001 Increase Gas Mileage
  • When you reduce back pressure by going to a free flowing exhaust on a vehicle the gas mileage will increase because the efficiency of the engine increases also. Most likely you would see a slight increase in gas mileage, but honestly that will depend a lot on your driving habits. Light acceleration and light braking will get you better gas mileage than hard acceleration and late, hard braking when it is time to slow down.

  • Installation of a Cold Air Intake System on a 2012 Ram 3500 6.7L Diesel
  • After doing some research on your 2012 Ram 3500 6.7L and speaking with my contact at aFe, I could not find any known issues with the OEM sensors and an aftermarket intake system. The OEM sensors will be installed in the new intake system (see photo) and my contact at aFe assured me that you should not have any issues with your air sensors when you install the Cold Air Intake, # AFE75-12032, assuming there is nothing wrong with your sensors now.

  • aFe Silver Bullet Throttle Body Spacer for 2009 Ford F150 Lariat
  • Because the aFe Silver Bullet Direct-Fit Throttle Body Spacer, part # AFE46-33002 is designed to mount between the throttle body and intake manifold, it will be compatible with your KandN air filter system. Keep in mind that the spacer is 1 inch thick, so if your aftermarket filter system has proper clearance to be moved 1 inch further away from the intake manifold, the spacer would work well for you. In most cases, the connection between the throttle body and the intake manifold is right

  • Comparing the Cold Air Intake Options for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
  • The main advantage that the open box systems, # AFE51-11172 and # AFE54-11172, have over the enclosed box system, # AFE54-81172 and # AFE51-81172, for your 2012 Toyota Tundra is that open systems offer the maximum amount of airflow. The enclosed box systems will still have plenty of air flow, just not as much as an open box system. Another main difference between the open and enclosed systems is the noise level. The open system will provide a deep sound, kind of like a growl, that will be sl

  • How Does aFe Direct-Fit Pro 5R Performance Oiled Air Filter # AFE30-10200 Compare to K and N Filter
  • We do not carry the K and N brand of filters, but aFe does list some things to look for when comparing different brands of filters. Here are several of the things to look for: 1. Media construction: constant mesh or progressive mesh. aFe is the only company that uses a progressively finer mesh media. 2. Pleat design: Tight or open. Pinched or rounded. aFe uses an open, rounded pleat design that allows better airflow through the tops and bottoms of each pleat. 3. Pleat height: Deep or

  • Availability of Programmer for 1999 Ford F350 with 6.8L V-10 Motor That Would Improve Fuel Economy
  • The aFe Scorcher Performance Programmer you mention, part # AFE77-43001 is compatible with the Ford Diesel engines only, not with Gas engines. The Superchips Flashpaq, part # SU1865 is compatible with the 6.8L gas engine, and offers a Mileage XS Save level, but according to Superchips, the 6.8 L engine was not designed with fuel economy in mind, and that only a 1 to 1-1/2 mpg increase in fuel economy would be your best case scenario. The real-world fuel economy offered by the Edge EvoHT #

  • Pre-Filter Recommendation for an AFE Pro Dry S Air Filter
  • We do carry pre-filters for the most of the Pro Dry S filters. If you have the Pro Dry S filter, # AFE21-90020, for the Cold Air Intake, # AFE54-10502, then you will want the pre-filter, # AFE28-10043. I confirmed that this pre-filter will work with the Pro Dry S filter # AFE21-90020 with my contact at AFE. If you have a different air filter, then just let me know the part number of your oil filter or of the cold air intake system that you have and I can recommend the correct pre-filter for

  • Will aFe Cold Air Intake System, Part # AFE51-11302, Pass California DMV Inspection
  • California is the one state in the nation in which this product will not satisfy emission control standards (CARB). If you still have the OEM air cleaner, your best bet is to remove the aFe Intake System, re-install the OEM air cleaning system and have your required DMV visual inspection performed. I wish I could recommend you then simply re-install the cold air intake after the visual inspection, but since that would be illegal I can not safely recommend you do that.

  • The aFe Direct-Fit Pro Dry S Performance Air Filter you mentioned, part # AFE31-10024 is indeed a fit for your 1978 VW Beetle Convertible.

  • Engine Showing Error Code After Installing Cold Air Intake
  • According to my research, the most common cause of having that code would be a dirty or improperly installed MAF sensor. Make sure the MAF sensor is fully inserted into the intake tube. Since your system uses an oil-based filter, there might have been too much oil on the filter, which in turn contaminated the sensor. You can pull the sensor from the intake tube, and use an aerosol based electrical contact cleaner on the sensor. A vacuum leak can cause the error code, as well. Make sure that

  • Will a Cold Air Intake System and an Exhaust System Improve Fuel Economy on a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L
  • A cold air intake like the aFe Direct Fit Cold Air Intake System, # AFE54-10372, is a benefit to the engine because cold air is more dense and therefore is more readily combustible. It will also optimize airflow allowing the engine to breathe easier. A performance exhaust like the MagnaFlow Exhaust System, # MF15611, for club cab models with 63 inch bed or # MF15739 for quad cab models with a 63 inch bed, will also optimize airflow by reducing the back pressure. Both products will allow

It does not include a 16-gauge, powder coated steel heat shield that replaces the stock air box, though, because it is not required. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Fit of aFe BladeRunner Differential Cover # AFE46-70012 on 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Series
  • The correct aFe BladeRunner Differential Cover for your 2010 Ram 3500 series will depend on which motor and rear axle assembly the truck was equipped with. We lack the ability to determine how your Ram was equipped based on the VIN, but your Dodge dealer should be able to provide that information for you. I have linked to the differential covers available for the 2010 Dodge Ram.

  • Troubleshooting a Service Engine Soon Code after Installing AFE Cold Air Intake on a 2004 Ford F150
  • Most likely, the code has something to do with your mass air flow sensor. You should check that it is plugged in completely first and then check to see if the sensor itself is dirty. Sometimes with oil based filters oil can get drawn through the filter and get on the mass airflow sensor and cause a SES code to appear. The other issue could be the IAC, you might check to see that it is sealed and has not come unplugged. There is also the possibility you may have a vacuum leak which could cause

The unique profile of the interior of the throttle body provides more complete fuel atomization, resulting in improved fuel economy and performance. Using this product will not harm the computer on your truck.

This is a high flow performance filter designed to outflow the stock filter for improved horsepower and torque so it will be on par with the K and N filters. aFe does not provide performance statistics for the filter. For cleaning, I recommend the aFe cleaners, # AFE90-59999.

  • The aFe Pro Dry S Direct Fit Cold Air Intake System, # AFE51-10292, will not require special engine tuning if you are installing it on a factory stock 2007 Ford Mustang. If you were to upgrade to a larger throttle body spacer, like the aFe Silver Bullet direct-fit throttle body spacer, # AFE46-33006, the Pro Dry S filter will still fit. This spacer is about 1 inch thick. If you used another brand of throttle body spacer that is over 1 inch thick that could cause a fit issue.
