Performance


How does an intake increase performance?

CORSA intakes allow the engine to breathe at its highest capacity permitted by maximizing the air in-take and output of each revolution.

How will a CORSA Intake affect my vehicle's fuel economy?
CORSA intakes make it easier for the engine to breathe, which should result in improved mileage. Driving style has a far greater impact on gas mileage than an air intake.



Emissions


Are emissions components affected with the installation of a CORSA Intake?

CORSA Intakes are designed to work in conjunction with all stock emissions components. Search your product for specific CARB/Emission status.

Will an oiled filter harm my MAF sensor?
Filters that receive an appropriate amount of oil will not harm your MAF sensor. When servicing the filter, it is important to use the oil very sparingly. More oil is not better and over oiling can cause problems.



Product Care


How do I clean the filter?

Cotton gauze pleated filters should be cleaned with Air Intake cleaning kits available at your local auto parts stores. View our Product Care page for more information.

How often does the filter need to be cleaned?
Cotton gauze filters should be cleaned approximately twice a year or every 10,000 miles. If you experience a sudden decrease in mileage or engine performance, the filter will need to be cleaned. Replacement filters are also available through CORSA. View our Product Care page for more information.

Can I use anything other than a standard Air Intake Cleaning Kit?
It is highly recommended you use intake cleaning kits from your local auto store for best results. Petroleum based products will soften and destroy sealing edges. View our Product Care page for more information.



Warranty/Replacement


Will installing a CORSA intake void my manufacturer's warranty?
According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act, Act, 15 USC, 2302, no manufacturer may void a vehicle warranty as a result of using aftermarket products. Only the warranty on the specific part or consequential parts can be affected by the installation of aftermarket components..

What warranty does the product carry?
All CORSA air intakes carry a 1-Year, Unlimited Mileage Warranty. Excludes filters. Visit our Warranty Center to learn more.

Where can I get replacement parts?
Select replacement filters are available through CORSA Retailers.


 

Misc


Will installation of a CORSA intake cause a Check Engine Light (CEL)?
CORSA intakes are tested to ensure they perform within the vehicle's stock parameters and should not cause a check engine light. If a problem occurs calls Tech Service at 440-891-0999

Can I damage my engine by sucking in water with an intake?
CORSA intake systems are optimized to maximize airflow and minimize water intake. Water inhalation is not possible unless the entire air inlet is submerged (normally requiring 18 inches or more of water).

Do CORSA intake filters come pre-oiled?
All Cotton gauze filters come pre-oiled. After cleaning the filter, you will need to re-oil it.

 

How is the carbon fiber air intake manufactured?
CORSA carbon fiber intakes are manufactured using techniques normally reserved for the aerospace industry. Multiple layers of resin impregnated carbon fabric and proprietary thermal-barrier composite is vacuum bagged and baked for 4 hours in a pressurized autoclave to yield thin, yet exceptionally strong parts. Once removed from the mold, parts then receive multiple coats of clear UV resistant urethane and are polished to a high luster finish.
