1. Where are your Intakes manufactured? Most of the manufacturing and finishing is done in Southern Colorado location. All of our Icebox Cold Air Intakes are made in the USA. 2. What materials are used in the construction of your Icebox Cold Air Intakes? The basic construction of our intakes is 16 gauge cold rolled steel. The 16 gauge steel is first precision cut on a PlasmaCam. Then each intake panel is cleaned and sanded and each piece is bent and formed by hand and then welded. When the intake is completed it is then powder coated for you in the colors that you choose when you placed your order. The powder coating will give you a long lasting durable finish. For the final assembly we use stainless steel hex head screws and bolts for a beautiful finishing touch. 3. What filters will fit the Icebox Intakes? Our intakes are designed to use some of the finest lifetime air filters available such as the Amsoil Nanofiber dry media filters and the S&B oiled media filters. But in reality many other filters with the same size flanges and filter size can be adapted to fit our intakes. So in many cases you can use your favorite filter from another manufacturers for the ultimate in usability. 4. What makes the original Icebox Cold Air Intake so special? Our Icebox Cold Air Intakes were born out of a desire to create a better performing cold air intake only after not being pleased with the results of other intakes. The idea was to have a better filter and to encourage cooler air from out side of the engine compartment to enter the air supply to the engine. In order to do this we wanted more than just a "filter on a stick" or a filter just open to the heat of the engine compartment. The original name of the Icebox Intakes was "The Heat Shield" and that is exactly what it did. So all of our Original Series Icebox Cold Air Intakes use this same concept of shielding the most heat from inside the engine compartment while at the same time encouraging the cooler outside air to reach the filter. It's a simple yet very effective concept and the bottom line is that it works. And it works better that just an air filter stuck on the end of a tube that is open to the heat of the engine compartment. (although we carry this types of filters as a price and other option). 5. What kind of finish is on the Icebox Intakes? Our intakes are powder coated to give you a long lasting durable finish. Although powder coating is a very durable finish it can be damaged so you really need to take care of it like you would the paint finish on your vehicle and give it a good cleaning and wax occassionally. Be careful not to use harsh chemicals on it when you clean your engine as they could stain the finish. 6. I lost one of the screws that hold my lid on, what should I do?
