Without spending much you can improve the performance of a vehicle by installing some devices. Cold air intake is one such popularly used device. It brings in cool atmospheric air in the engine. Power is generated in a vehicle by the combustion of fuel in the engine. Combustion process requires oxygen which is a component of the atmospheric air. If less oxygen is supplied combustion will not be complete and the engine will not be able to generate power according to its potential. Constant supply of air is essential for full use of fuel. But why cool air? During combustion the engine becomes hot and so also the air inside. You would have noticed that a hot air balloon rises in the air. It does so because hot air is lighter than the atmospheric air. The air inside engine also becomes light so there is less of air by weight. For paucity of air full combustion cannot take place. Cold air intake brings in cold air inside which is dense. By using the device you get more power from the engine for the same quantity of fuel, thus you can economize on fuel.
