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 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.
