Product FAQs
Are your products CARB compliant?
Cold Air Inductions, Inc. sells products throughout the United States and Canada; however, many of our products are not CARB Certified. Our company is currently introducing a few new systems that will be CARB compliant, but it is cost-prohibitive for us to manufacture only CARB compliant products. The NOTE section on the product description page will inform you if the product you’re looking at is compliant or not.
Many aftermarket parts on the market are not CARB Certified and are listed in the fine print as intended for “off-road use only.”
Why should I choose your products for my cold air intake?
When choosing a cold air intake there are a few important characteristics that you should be looking for. Proven performance is obviously a huge factor to consider, as well as looks, ease of installation, and a quality product that is backed by its company. Take a look at our website to see testimonials, dyno charts, and system design details that illustrate why Cold Air Inductions parts out perform the competition.
Will using a Cold Air Inductions replacement air filter or intake system void my factory warranty?
No. In the United States, for the manufacturer of a warranted product (in this case, a vehicle) to void or deny warranty coverage of a repair due to the use of an aftermarket part (a Cold Air Inductions, Inc. air filter or intake system), the manufacturer must provide proof (evidence) that the aftermarket part is the cause of the necessary repair. These rights are protected under the Consumer Products Warranty Act of 1975 (also referred to as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act).
Note: Service contracts are not regulated by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Extended warranties are service contracts that may contain exclusions or clauses conditioning their coverages, and these may limit the consumer from using certain products (like aftermarket air filters or performance intakes) on their vehicle. In the event of a vehicle repair, the presence of an aftermarket part (even if it is unrelated to the repair) could void the contract and force the consumer to pay for the repair themselves.
Do your parts come with a warranty?
Cold Air Inductions, Inc. offers a lifetime warranty which states all Cold Air Intake systems to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. Customers must fill out the warranty registration form to be eligible. Please review all the warranty details here.
Can I get help installing my item?
While we do not offer actual installation services, we pride ourselves on offering high quality parts and systems that most DIYers can install. Both our product pages and YouTube channel are stocked with installation how-to videos. Additionally, all systems and parts pages include downloadable, PDF install instructions.The Cold Air Inductions customer support team is very knowledgeable about the parts and systems we sell and will be able to answer general questions.
How do I clean or recharge my CAI or Elite High Performance Oiled Air Filter?
Important: ONLY A CAI BRAND RECHARGE KIT SHOULD BE USED ON COLD AIR INDUCTIONS OILED FILTERS. Before you begin, please use the proper safety precautions like gloves and safety glasses. Remove the filter from your vehicle and ensure that no dirt or other debris enters the intake tube while the filter is off.
For your convenience, we offer a step-by-step video and a downloadable PDF here.
