GRAVANA AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS IN-STOCK & SHIPPING!

After testing several prototypes ranging from 3” to 4” diameter plastic and metal tubes, round and oval filters, with and without heat shields, we found what we feel to be the best combination of performance, durability and style.

The Gravana Intake System replaces your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and housing with tuned-length stainless tubing and a high-flow filter, increasing airflow. With the increased air volume, your vehicle will have more usable power and improved acceleration throughout the RPM range. With aircraft-grade stainless, OEM-quality couplers and the washable/reusable filter, this system is built to last. Gravana backs-up this quality claim with a lifetime warranty. Installation is quick and easy and the end result is an excellent fitting product that performs. This system should provide a 10-15HP gain. Results may vary depending on conditions.

WHY STAINLESS?
Sure, plastic tube intakes offer more profit. However, we use stainless because it offers us the ability to provide the best performance gains with a level of quality that carries a Lifetime Warranty. Additionally, we polish the tubes for style.

ISN’T STAINLESS MORE EXPENSIVE?
Not to our customers. Gravana air intake systems are comparably priced with aluminum and plastic intake systems.

DOESN'T IT GET HEAT SOAK?
Virtually every component in your engine compartment experiences heat soaking. However, the air traveling through the short GTO intake is moving such a fast rate, it does not have time to heat up through contact with the tube. Additionally, when driving your GTO, once you begin to accelerate and start moving, your intake begins to pull ambient air from outside the car.

WHY NO HEAT SHIELD?
We saw no measurable increase in performance.

WHAT IS 50-STATE LEGAL?
All Gravana Stainless Air Intake Systems have been submitted for C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board) Approval for emissions. California has the strictest standards, which is why other states recognize CARB approval as being 50-state legal.
