Construction & Design

The Momentum HD intake system features a one-piece sealed housing constructed from heat-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), providing excellent durability and resistance to heat soak. This material choice helps maintain cooler intake air temperatures, which is critical for diesel engine performance. The patented filter-to-housing interface minimizes the number of parts, simplifying installation and enhancing system integrity.

The intake tube is computer-designed and dyno-tuned to optimize airflow and power delivery. Its XLPE construction ensures long-lasting durability under harsh under-hood conditions. The system includes a custom molded hood seal that prevents hot engine air from entering the intake, further improving efficiency.

Performance & Sound
