ENGINE PERFORMANCE

For a given engine, the performance is its ability to breathe. i.e, Simply put, Everything! At its most basic level, an engine is an air pump.  More air entering the engine increases the efficiency of the combustion process creating more horsepower and torque. Horsepower is a measure of the engine's maximum power while torque measures how quickly you can accelerate.

so, here are some ways to increase the BREATHABILTY of your engine, by addition of some aftermarket components:
1.power air filters
2.free flow silencers
lets discuss each in depth:

POWER FILTERS:
the 2 major function of an air filter is to filter the dirt in air and to provide an optimum air flow for a rich air fuel mixture.
power filters are basically epoxy coated steel mesh sandwiching multilayer cotton gauge, set with an EPDM
frame.
there are scientific principles determining the filtration process:
1. interception
2.impaction and
3.diffusion

RECOMMENDED AIR FILTERS: K&N FILTERS


FREE FLOW SILENCER:
 every exhaust system has some back presssure associated with the exhaust flow, which resists the flow of exhaust gases. these back pressure is developed because of various fittings in the mufflers. to reduce the resistant, we often use free flow silencers.
