Frequently Asked Questions
How
Does It Work? When you bolt-on a BlingLights intake, you will notice
the difference the next time you drive your vehicle. Our BlingLights
Intake Kits are a great way and in many cases the only way to maximize
airflow and engine performance. They will replace the factory air box
providing both High-Flow air filter technology and a larger air filter
size. This winning combination will increase horsepower and sound great
too. BlingLights Intake Kits are the correct diameter for each engine
type and will free your car from the size restriction that comes with
the factory air box. These economical kits can take a variety of
different forms based on vehicle characteristics and available space
under the hood. Each kit is designed to provide power throughout the RPM
range. BlingLights intakes take advantage of the added airflow provided
by an oversized air filter released from the restrictive factory air
box.
These kits bring engine airflow out of the factory box by
providing a large size open-air conical High-Flow Air Filter. The extra
surface area of these open-air air filters provide even more airflow at
lower restriction than a name brand replacement filter which is always
limited to the size of the factory air box. The larger air filter also
captures and holds more dirt increasing its service life before a
cleaning is required. The filter is then either directly attached to the
engine carburetor or throttle body or indirectly through a tube
assembly running from the filter to the engine. All adaptors are made
from high quality materials.
Why Does The Factory Intake Need to
be Improved? Most people are aware that our High-Flow Air Filter can
increase horsepower over a traditional disposable air filter. An air
filter change alone however, cannot eliminate other types of air
restriction built into the vehicle at the factory. These can be found in
the size of the air box and the air path running from the air box to
the engine. That’s where air intakes rule the road. They completely
replace the factory airflow assembly including the filter, air box and
air path. More and more people are discovering the monster power
available from a well-engineered air intake, so go ahead and wake the
sleeping giant in your motor.
How Do You Know It Works? We will
not sell an air intake that does not provide a measured increase in
horsepower and torque (acceleration). Our air intakes are proven to
increase horsepower and torque on a wheel dynamometer (think treadmill
for motors). These thoroughly engineered air intakes provide huge
increases in power that a customer will definitely feel when they
accelerate.
How Much of an Increase in Miles Per Gallon Should I
see from using a BlingLights Intake? Results will vary depending on your
vehicle, driving habits, load on the engine (towing for example),
existing air system restriction, and other factors. Many BlingLights
users report an increase in miles per gallon. Our internal testing is
performed using employee and customer vehicles. We usually have the
motors for a short period of time that will only allow for fit checks
and dyno (power curve) testing. If you take advantage of added power by
driving harder, you will not see much of a gain, if any, in MPG.
Can
I Install and Maintain the Intake Myself? The kit isn't complicated too
install for most application, and the work can be done in your driveway
with simple hand tools in about an hour. We recommend to have the kit
installed at stereo shop if you are uncomfortable installing on your
own. If you do it yourself, you will need a wrench, a ratchet, and a
screwdriver. Every 50,000 miles clean the filter with filter cleaner
found at your local auto shop. No need to ever replace the filter.
Is
the BlingLights Intake Street Legal? In most states our intakes are
legal. Our intake kits may not be legal in states where under the hood
modifications are not allowed. Check your local laws if you are unsure.
Will
the BlingLights Intake Cause My Vehicle Mass Air Sensor to Fail? No, it
is both impossible and ridiculous. An engine can only take in a fixed
volume of air depending on the engine’s size. The more restriction that
an air intake system (filter, air box, and tubing) causes, the greater
the potential is for power and mileage degradation.
Will the
BlingLights Intake Void the Factory Warranty? NO. The only time this can
happen is from improper installation that causes damage to a vehicle
system. If a service technician denies your warranty claim ONLY because
the car is modified with a BlingLights intake system and the vehicle
system failure was not a direct result of the installation and use of an
BlingLights intake, please refer him to the Magnusson Moss Warranty
act. You can download the Magnusson Moss Warranty act from SEMA’s
website.
