AIRAID's F-Body cold air dam system fits 1967, 1968, and 1969 Chevy Camaros and Firebirds, which were the first-generation F-body cars that remain wildly popular today. The kit includes aluminum cold air dam panels, a filter adapter, and a premium AIRAID oiled filter. It is designed to be used with AIRAID's UBI custom intake components. |
Most hot-rodders are already aware of AIRAID's U-Build-It, or UBI, systems and components, which make fabricating your own custom intake system a breeze. AIRAID UBI systems were tailor-made for vehicles with engine swaps, such as street rods, muscle cars, and hot rods with performance engines. Whether it's a late-model LS engine, Ford Coyote, or shoehorning a big-block in a car that originally had a small-block or V-6, AIRAID UBI systems are a great option for any custom application. AIRAID also manufacturers a select number of vehicle-specific components for more popular applications, including GM A-bodies and F-bodies. The custom F-body cold air dam system provides a simple, bolt-on solution for any custom engine swap and adds a professional, finished look while allowing the car to benefit from all the attributes of a production cold air intake system.
The AIRAID F-body CAD kits are available with 3", 3.5", and 4" filter adapters to match the diameter of whatever UBI tubing is used on custom applications. The filter adapter includes a velocity stack at the filter attachment point to help promote airflow to the engine. |
The AIRAID F-body cold air dam system works with all 1967-1969 Chevrolet F-bodies, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Both first-generation Camaros and Firebirds are immensely popular with hot-rodders, as both of these vehicles were major players in the muscle car wars of the mid-'60s. These days, many classic Camaro and Firebird owners are turning to modern technology to gain performance benefits that were unheard of when these vehicles were new. Big-blocks, fuel injection, and modern LS-based small-blocks are all popular swap candidates for classic muscle. AIRAID's UBI intake tubes, carb and throttle body hats, and couplers enable builders to route the engine intake over to the core support at the front of the engine bay, where it can draw in plenty of cool outside air.
The F-Body kit provides a finished, professional look to any custom engine installation. Notice how it follows the angle of the fender brace and keeps the filter tucked away toward the core support, where the filter can draw in cool outside air. The F-Body CAD system is available in driver or passenger corner configurations. |
The AIRAID F-Body cold air dam system picks up where the regular UBI components leave off with specially formed aluminum panels designed to bolt into the corner of the engine compartment where the core support meets the fender. Both driver and passenger side cold air dam components are available, so the system is versatile enough to accommodate different builds and intake layouts. The specially formed aluminum panels use existing attachment points on the core support and forms to the radii of the fenderwell, so only minor drilling of the fenderwell is needed for installation. The panels help keep the air filter isolated from hot engine compartment air, while leaving plenty of forward-facing area for cool outside air to reach the filter. These panels also serve as the attachment point for an AIRAID filter adapter that is available with a 3", 3.5", or 4" diameter opening to match the diameter of the UBI tubing used between the engine's throttle body and the filter housing. AIRAID recommends connecting the UBI tubing from the engine to the filter adapter with an available urethane hump hose, which will absorb vibration and ensure a leak-free seal.
The F-Body kits include a 700-461 premium oiled filter, which is large enough to handle most performance engines. Though the kits come standard with oiled filters, the 701-461 filter is available that is the same size and has SynthaMax non-oiled filter media. For an extra layer of protection and filtrations, AIRAID recommends adding a 199-469 pre-filter as well. |
In addition to the cold air dam panels and filter adapter, AIRAID includes a premium oiled filter 700-461 with the F-Body kit. The filter utilizes AIRAID's SynthaFlow oiled filter media, which features four layers of cotton gauze plus an additional synthetic layer of filter media. The extra synthetic layer helps improve filtration over other aftermarket performance filters while also helping to keep the filter oil suspended in the filter media. The filter also features a urethane casing, which won't crack or warp over time. The filter has a 6" flange diameter to match the filter adapter and measures 8-inches long. The filter is plenty big enough to keep even the most extreme street performance engines supplied with plenty of airflow without introducing restrictions. Best of all, the filter carries AIRAID's exclusive "No Hassle" warranty.
