When Performance Counts - Ever since the invention of cars, there have been people trying to improve performance. Modifying the air intake system to increase airflow is one way to improve. A properly designed air intake increases the airflow to the engine so that it combusts fuel more effectively. Up until now, replacing the factory air box with an open element air filter system was your only alternative.
Though open element air filter systems are effective for increasing airflow they
have a few large flaws. First of all, open element air filters tend to make
noise, (this of course is not a drawback to those who subscribe to the louder is
better school of driving). Second, air boxes are designed to protect your engine
from debris. Open element filter systems expose your filter and your engine to
dirt and moisture. Finally, an open element filter is subjected to heat from the
engine, creating hot air robbing your engine from oxygen it needs for effective
combustion, resulting in a possible power loss.
True Flow air intake systems are a unique departure from traditional air intake
systems. The factory air box is left intact keeping the airflow cooler while
protecting the filter from debris and moisture. The factory filter is replaced
with one of our foam, high flow, lifetime filters. Finally we eliminate the
factory air tube, which can have restrictive mufflers or resonators and replace
them with our high flow, powder coated mandrel tubes and reinforced silicone
couplers to maximize velocity.
True Flow kits are easy to install and maintain. Each kit contains the necessary
hardware required to install, (like our custom fiberglass reinforced silicone
couplers and stainless steel worm clamps). No modifications are needed, and all
factory breathers, sensors and hoses are left intact.
Stop More Dirt & Get Better Airflow - True Flow stops more dirt due to
its superior foam technology. Foam has been used for years in off road
applications such as motorcycles, ATVs and Off-Road race vehicles. True Flow
developed an air filter using fully reticulated foam cells and specially
formulated tackifier that create an impossible journey for dirt particles to
enter your engine. More dirt in your engine means lower performance, lower gas
mileage, and engine wear. See True Flow's legendary performance and protection
capabilities by watching the True Flow Air Filter Test. The test proves that
True Flow stops more dirt, while performance gauze and paper filters let more
dirt get through to your engine.
The EPA has estimated that a dirty filter can cause a 10% decrease in fuel
efficiency. Because performance gauze and paper filters are only 1/16 of an inch
thick, the minute you start driving they get dirty, start to clog and restrict
air flow causing a loss in performance. True Flow doesn't clog because its
reticulated foam construction is 16 times thicker than performance gauze or
paper. Reticulated foam allows air to flow around the captured dirt. Unlike
filters, True Flow provides great air flow even when it gets dirty.
Testimonial - "I have had
the True Flow system on my 2001 Toyota 4 Runner for a few months now and the
difference over the OEM system is day and night - much better fuel economy and a
BIG difference in acceleration. Prior to the True Flow system, I had a K&N drop
in filter installed and after a short while I would notice dirt behind the
filter on the air box. With the True Flow, there is absolutely no dirt behind
the filter whatsoever and used oil analysis performed on this engine have shown
very low silicon (dirt) ingestion. Being a mechanic, I was very skeptical at
first, but now I am a firm believer in the True Flow system." -Christopher
