CarsAndMore365 Cold Air Inductions Intake Unboxing

/in /by

You probably already know about Cold Air Inductions’ cold air intake systems for the V8-powered Chevy Silverado and Camaro, but did you know we also make kits for other motors? 

We also have an Elite Series kit for the Chevy Silverado equipped with the 2.7-liter four-cylinder motor that offers the same benefits as our other cold air intake systems. Once Carsandmore365 found out about it, they were quick to release a video showing the unboxing and installation of the kit.

Let’s see what they have to say! 

All You Need For Installation In A High-Quality Package

After unboxing the kit for their Chevy Silverado, Carsandmore365 noticed right away that the quality of the CAI kit was noticeably better than that of the OEM intake components. The airbox, tubing, air filter, and even the hardware are nicer than what was on their Silverado from the factory. They even appreciated the clear plastic window, which they noted was high quality. 

Carsandmore365 also liked the detailed instructions. They appreciated how parts were labeled for the passenger or driver’s side and the instructions were easy to follow. One thing that surprised them was the “massive” size of the air filter and how the Elite Series kit maximizes the use of available space while still being easy to install and providing a custom look to the engine. 

“We got this massive air filter… and it is a really nice filter.”

30 Minutes To Improved Throttle Response

Carsandmore365 plans to save the installation for another day. However, when they do, they’ll likely find that our CAI intake kits go together quickly and easily. In fact, it should only take about 30 minutes and some basic tools to install the CAI intake kit. Then you’re on your way to more horsepower, better torque, and a more responsive throttle across your engine’s powerband. 

Upgrade Your Truck With A CAI Cold Air Intake

In addition to the V8 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC trucks and SUVs, we make kits for other engines like the 2.7-liter TurboMax. No matter what GM vehicle you drive, check out our selection of cold air intakes to find the perfect fit!

Installation Process For 2016-2022 Camaro SS

Every CAI cold air intake is designed to fit as if it were an OEM part. Installation is easy and can be done in your garage using simple tools:

  • 8mm nut driver or slotted screwdriver
  • T20 torx driver
  • Pliers
  • 2.5mm and 3mm Allen wrench
  • 10mm socket and ratchet

The Step-By-Step Install Process

Watch our helpful video above to see just how easy it is to install the CAI Elite Carbon Series cold air intake in a 6th-generation Camaro SS. Every kit comes with comprehensive installation instructions and all the required hardware. We detail the steps below to make the process as easy as possible, even if you have never worked on your car before.

  1. Ensure that the engine is off and has cooled down. Disconnect the negative battery cable, which is located in the trunk on the right side behind an access panel.
  2. Loosen the clamps and screws on your current air intake system. You will need to unclip and remove the sound enhancer tube, loosen the PCV tube, and remove the throttle body intake tube. Once everything is disconnected, remove the entire airbox assembly from the car. Do not remove the wiring harness from the MAF sensor -this will cause the check engine light to come on.
  3. Next, begin the assembly process; you can reuse the factory grommets. Connect the carbon fiber intake tube to the air filter by screwing them together. Connect the coupler to the throttle body and tighten the clamp closest to it.
  4. Install the foam seal on the air box and place the air filter inside. Then, insert the MAF tube into the throttle coupler. The airbox should be aligned with the three mounting grommets simultaneously.
  5. Secure the system by tightening the stainless-steel clamps around the coupler boot. Reattach the PCV tube, MAF sensor, and any other tubes or wiring that was disconnected during the removal process.
  6. Reattach the negative battery cable and make sure that everything has been tightened. Then, head out for a test drive and enjoy the benefits of your new CAI intake.

Camaro SS Intake Install By Hammerdown Motorsports

/in /by

Cold air intakes are an inexpensive way to increase your vehicle’s performance while improving its sound. However, not all intakes are the same. The key is finding a high-quality system that cools and improves airflow. Otherwise, installing an aftermarket cold air intake may do more harm than good.

That’s why Hammerdown Motorsports chose an intake system from Cold Air Inductions. In this post, we’ll cover the highlights of their video and explain why you can count on our cold air intakes to improve the performance of your car or truck.

Cold Air Inductions 2017 Camaro SS Intake Install

camaro cold air intake

In this video, Hammerdown Motorsports installs a new Cold Air Inductions intake on their 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS. Previously they installed an aftermarket exhaust with long tube headers, so the cold air intake complemented that mod.

Right off the bat, they were impressed with the quality of the Cold Air Inductions intake system. They liked the build quality and appreciated the details, like the spacer between the intake and throttle body, which creates a vortex to improve the airflow. Overall, they found it easy to install and thought it noticeably improved the sound of the Camaro.

“We’ve showed people what this thing really puts out – horsepower wise…it’s pretty impressive in my eyes. They really do make a helluva intake – I mean – it looks so professional…that’s exactly what everybody wants. This [intake] looks so nice and clean…like it came from factory like that.”                                   – Andy, DiabloFormula Racing

The Performance Is In The Details

There are many great-looking air intakes on the market, but nothing matches the performance of our intake systems. That’s because each kit is designed and tested to fit a specific vehicle and provides a tight fit to keep the engine compartment’s hot air out of the intake.

“Obviously, you have to go to the aftermarket to get the care and detail [like you get] from a company like Cold Air Inductions. Definitely recommend this for anybody with an LT or LT4 engine. They make all kinds of intakes for every different make and model so definitely check them out.”                                                     – Hammerdown Motorsports

Additionally, each system comes with the following:

  • High-quality, reusable eight-layer cotton fiber air filter
  • Plexiglass inspection window
  • OEM-spec tubing for the crankcase breather tube

It only takes 15-20 minutes to install one of our cold air intakes, but you’ll immediately notice the improved power, sound, and fuel economy.

Why Choose A Cold Air Inductions Product?

“We got [the CAI intake] installed here – it’s got the nice plexiglass window on the top to see if your filter is dirty or anything like that. It’s got the heat insulation inside the box make sure you’re not getting the hot air blown into your engine. Really, this thing is something that you would expect to be on a car like this – you’d think that maybe even the factory would have something like this.”  – Hammerdown Motorsports

Cold Air Inductions On Two Guys Garage

/in /by

A cold air intake provides a quick and inexpensive way to improve the performance of your engine. But not all intakes are the same. Many are made of plastic and absorb heat, which can limit or even eliminate any performance gain.

That’s why our cold air induction systems are made from aluminum to be durable yet lightweight. And they are thermal coated to limit heat transfer from the hot underhood environment. The quality and performance speak for themselves, which is why Two Guys Garage used one in its 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6 project.

Two Guy’s Garage Camaro Cold Air Intake Install

When it comes to cold air intakes, you have two options: You can either install a plastic tube intake and shield it off from the heat generated by your engine. Or, you can buy an actual cold air intake, like one from Cold Air Inductions, which is already set up for your vehicle. That’s precisely what Two Guy’s Garage did with their V6 Camaro.

“CAI is taking cold air induction kits to the next level…they’re really paying attention to the details.“

Two Guys Garage

They selected one of our kits because of the quality and details, which they said we’ve taken to the next level. Those details include an insulated, sealed box that isolates the intake from the rest of the engine, shielding it from heat. They also commented on our thermal-coated intake tube and how we’ve addressed the heat soak issue that robs most systems of any performance gains. These details allow our cold air intakes to provide gains of up to 18 rear-wheel horsepower on a completely stock Camaro.

Two Guy’s Garage also liked the Cold Air Induction kit’s ease of installation, commenting on the details like the fasteners. Our cold air intake system directly replaces the OEM air box, making it easy to install without modifications. Even the OEM washer bottle remains in the stock location.

Selecting An Air Intake From Cold Air Inductions 

Our cold-air induction systems are designed to work for your specific vehicle, optimizing airflow with minimal turbulence. Each cold-air intake is engineered as a complete, closed system, from the aluminum housing to the air filter. That’s why we’re confident the power we claim is the power you will feel every time you drive your vehicle.

“It’s a really nice, high-quality system.“

Two Guys Garage

Since 2004 CAI has manufactured the highest-quality air intakes in the industry, delivering real, measurable power increases. Check out our testimonials and customer reviews to see what people say about our intakes.

Why Does My Camaro Cold Air Intake Whistle?

/in /by

We’ve seen feedback on some of the Camaro forums about a whistle people have noticed after installing a cold air intake. As the first company to develop and market a cold air intake for the Camaro, we wanted to clear the air on this issue.

The bottom line is this: Some cars, including the Camaro, have a whistle that occurs under moderate engine load. On the Camaro, the engine’s factory intake manifold is the cause of the whistle, not the air box, filter, or air tube from the cold air intake.

But we don’t want you to just take our word for it, so we’ve provided the video below.

2016 Camaro Air Intake Whistle

This video shows the testing we did on the Camaro to find the source of the air intake whistle. We put the car on our rear-wheel dyno, and with the factory air box in place, we removed the air filter and recorded the sound. At partial throttle, 38 percent to be exact, the whistle occurred. We then removed the factory air box and re-recorded the sound. In both cases, you can hear the whistle – either with the factory air box in place or without any air box installed.

The Whistle Is Less Noticeable With A More Restrictive Intake

You may wonder why you didn’t hear the whistling before installing a cold-air intake. It was there, but because the factory air intake is more restrictive, it reduces the volume of the whistle. Additionally, the air intake for the factory air box is mounted below the air box and draws air from low in the grille. The whistle will be more noticeable if you listen to the airflow near the factory air inlet.

Our cold air intake systems remove the airflow restrictions, allowing air and sound to travel better. That means any sound from the engine is much less restricted and more noticeable.

Selecting An Air Intake From Cold Air Inductions

At Cold Air Inductions, we build the best cold air intakes in the business. We take quality very seriously and thoroughly test every aspect of our cold air intake systems to ensure the best fit, finish, and performance. That’s why we could quickly and conclusively demonstrate that the factory intake manifold causes the Camaro’s whistle, not our cold-air intake system.

Our cold-air induction systems are designed to work for your specific vehicle, optimizing airflow with minimal turbulence. We focus on delivering a quality system that gives you more power, better fuel economy, and a good performance air-intake sound when you really lean into the throttle. Since 2004 we have manufactured the highest-quality air intakes in the industry, delivering real, measurable power increases. Check out our testimonials and customer reviews to see what people say about our intakes.
