Intake funnels are special components that are attached to the inlet of the air intake tract to optimise the air supply.
They are designed to smooth the air flow and reduce turbulence, which improves the efficiency of the air intake. By tapering the funnel, the air is accelerated, which increases the filling level of the cylinders and thus boosts engine performance. Intake funnels can be made of various materials such as aluminium, plastic or carbon, depending on the requirements and area of application. They are particularly popular in racing, where any increase in performance can be decisive.
The correct tuning of the intake funnel to the engine is important in order to achieve maximum performance and efficiency.
