aFe Cold Air Intake System

Part #: 51-10492

Overview

The aFe Stage-2 Cold Air Intake for Nissan V6 models from 2005 to 2011 is designed to enhance your vehicle’s airflow and overall performance. This intake system is ideal for enthusiasts seeking increased horsepower, torque, and a more aggressive engine sound. Crafted with durability and efficiency in mind, it helps optimize volumetric efficiency by replacing the factory intake tract with a heat-insulating molded plastic tube and a high-flow air filter. The enclosed heat shield, made from 18-gauge powder-coated steel, protects the filter from under-hood heat, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the engine for improved combustion and power delivery.
