Is a Carbon Fiber Intake Pipe Useful?
1 Answers
Carbon fiber intake pipes are useful as they can reduce intake air temperature and ensure the engine's power output. Typically, a car's intake pipe is made of plastic, which does not provide thermal insulation. When the engine is running, the high temperature in the engine compartment can increase the intake air temperature, reducing the oxygen content in the air and affecting the engine's power output. Carbon fiber intake pipes offer thermal insulation, preventing the intake air temperature from being affected by the engine compartment's heat, thereby improving power output and stability. Some car owners modify their engines to enhance power and reduce intake air temperature by installing an alcohol injection system (including upgrading to a carbon fiber intake pipe), which can lower intake air temperature and boost power output.
