Build it better. That’s the American ingenuity behind many of today’s successes in the automotive aftermarket industry and the story behind AIRAID® Filter Company. The company was founded in 1997 when it began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. The original AIRAID Intake System combined an open-element filter with an intake tube to make an easy-to install air intake kit that dramatically increased air flow, improved performance and generated more horsepower and torque. It didn’t take long to realize, that as the sales of intake systems nearly tripled in the first year of production, another source of filters was needed. At the time, AIRAID’s founders believed they could produce a better-quality filter utilizing new technology and state-of-the-art materials. By November 2002, the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. SUPERIOR FILTRATION AT NO EXTRA COST AIRAID Premium Filters consist of multiple layers of cotton-gauze plus one layer of synthetic fiber material sandwiched between either stainless steel or aluminum mesh, depending upon the application. The casing of the filter is hand-poured urethane, which offers superior performance and durability, and won’t shrink or crack from prolonged heat exposure under the hood. Over the years, AIRAID Filter Company has become the recognized leader in air management for both gasoline and diesel power plants. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high-quality products that improve drivability and performance. It has also allowed AIRAID to further expand their product line to offer a complete line of AIRAID Intake Systems and PowerAid® Throttle Body Spacers.

The PowerAid® was developed to enhance your vehicle’s off idle to mid range performance and efficiency. The unique “Helix Bore” design of the PowerAid creates a spinning action of the incoming air. As air passes through your throttle body, this helical effect causes the air molecules to organize and maintain high velocity. The organization and high velocity of the air is extremely beneficial because it helps to provide a superior atomized mixture of fuel and air all the way into the combustion chamber. The benefits you will see are tremendous torque gains between 800 to 2500 RPM, and potential increases in your fuel economy, depending on driving conditions. AirAid's PowerAid Throttle Body Spacers are manufactured from the highest quality Aircraft Grade Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum. Each PowerAid is specifically designed for your application. AirAid kits always include the necessary gaskets, hardware, and precision brackets to maintain proper geometry with the factory components. The PowerAid Spacer can be installed in less than an hour using common hand tools with no drilling or cutting required. For the serious Sport Compact enthusiast, AirAid PowerAid's have even more features and benefits for you. Some of AirAid's applications are drilled and tapped to allow for the addition or compatibility with certain nitrous “spray bar” type systems.* AirAid likes performance, and now you can add maximum performance and extreme power to your Sport Compact application without limitations.
