AFE Bolt-On Modifications Add Horsepower for Off-roaders
For maximum performance, enthusiasts usually turn to aftermarket turbochargers, superchargers or high compression pistons. However, many of those items require much more maintenance to your vehicle and they can seriously affect the reliability of your machine. However, there is a way to get a bump in performance without every worrying about the reliability of your truck or SUV.
Cold Air Intakes
, Exhaust Systems and Aftermarket Air Filters can be the perfect addition for truck enthusiasts who are looking to give an edge to the performance of their vehicles. Whether you’re outfitting your daily driver to get extra gas mileage or if you’re trying to squeeze a few extra ponies out of your off-road racer, the addition of bolt-on modifications can make a very noticeable difference in the way your vehicle drives.
Ever since the 1960s, hot rodders and gearheads have found making your car breathe better can have a serious increase in horsepower all throughout the powerband of a combustion engine. Whether you’re helping your engine suck air in with a high-flow air filter and cold air intake, or helping it breathe out through a low-resistance muffler and aftermarket exhaust system, it can give a great boost in power that also provides a nice growl when the engine revs.
Turning To AFE Power
For more than a decade, AFE Power has been working to manufacture top-of-the-line accessories for off-road racers and truck enthusiasts. Whether tuners are looking for oil filters or turbo accessories, there is always something available to get a bit more horsepower out of your engine.
In 1999, a group of racing enthusiasts in Corona, California came together to start manufacturing accessories that could add horsepower through air management. Many tuners believe that the easiest way to get more performance from an engine is to upgrade the “breathing” parts of an engine like throttle bodies, air filters, and exhaust manifolds.
Today, the AFE Team is comprised of a team of engineers, machinists, production and sales people who each have years of experience in their respective positions and work to manufacture quality accessories without doing any harm to the environment. According to their website, AFE strives to set itself apart from the other vendors by offering the highest quality automotive products that will enhance the performance of their customers' vehicles.
Three Easy Ways To Add Power
There are many ways to add horsepower to a truck, but by far these are the easiest ways to “bolt on” performance in a matter of minutes.
Stainless Steel Exhaust Systems:
This is the hardest of the three horsepower additions to install, but it also adds a sweet sounds to go alone with the performance enhancement. The mandrel bent piping fits the OEM exhaust lines in your truck while increasing the flow of gases. By doing this, enthusiasts will see a bump in horsepower, an increase in gas mileage and a deep tone from the rear of the truck. It also improves the looks of the back of the truck with a sweet polished muffler.
Air Filter:
Replacing your air filter is one of the routine maintenances you need to do on any vehicle, so you may as well switch it out with one that gives a bit more horsepower. Cheap filters do a poor job of keeping out dirt and grime, which can take years off your engine. These polyurethane filters are durable, flexible and can be cleaned, unlike paper filters, which seem to suffocate engines.
Cold Air Intakes:
Cold Air Intakes have two basic functions: to help your truck get more to the engine and to look awesome under the hood. These intakes are a great way to dress up your engine bay while providing great airflow. Plus, the heat resistant materials keep things cool, too. Additionally, these intakes were engineered to work with all your stock electronics, so you won’t have to worry about triggering a check engine light.
So, whether you are looking to light up the drag strips in your truck or just looking to give a sweet sound and better gas mileage on the way to the market, a few easy-to-install AFE Power upgrades could be the perfect thing to add to your wish list. Whether you’re looking to add one or all three of their products to your machine, you can expect a noticeable gain in horsepower and hear a sweeter sound coming from under the hood.
If you’re still unsure about which AFE Power products are right for you, be sure to ask the truck experts at 4WheelOnline.com by calling 813-769-2451. The gearheads are more than happy to answer any questions about any of the aftermarket products that we carry in our catalogue.
