The Blue Garage Upgrades To A CAI Intake

/in /by

When it comes to upgrading your Silverado, a Cold Air Inductions (CAI) intake is one of the best ways to boost performance, improve throttle response, and enhance the driving experience. Greg from TheBlueGarage recently put this to the test, installing a Cold Air Inductions intake on his Silverado and sharing his thoughts in this video review. 

The Install: Easy And Straightforward

Greg walks through the installation process, showing just how simple and hassle-free it is to swap out the stock intake for a Cold Air Inductions system. He highlights:

Perfect fitment – The intake is designed specifically for the Chevy Silverado, making installation smooth.
High-quality construction – The insulated airbox, aluminum tubing, and premium filter all stand out.
Minimal tools required – A basic socket set is all you need to complete the install.

“This thing looks absolutely fantastic under the hood.”

– Greg, TheBlueGarage

The Result: Performance Gains And Quick Improvements

Right after installation, Greg takes the truck for a spin and notices the difference instantly. He notes better throttle response and points out that the truck feels more eager to accelerate. He also mentions the deeper, throatier sound coming from the truck. The CAI intake adds a nice growl under acceleration without being obnoxious.
Lastly, no one can deny the benefit of increased airflow – more cold air means better efficiency and potential power gains. The cast or sheet aluminum air boxes and cast or extruded aluminum air tubes of the CAI intake add to heat soak resistance.

“The cold air intake provides a noticeable boost and you can hear it from the interior too… It’s a great install easy to do.”

– Greg, TheBlueGarage

How To Clean Your Cold Air Inductions Intake Air Filter

/in /by

Keeping your Cold Air Inductions cold air intake filter clean is essential for peak performance and airflow. Over time, the filter can get clogged by dirt and other contaminants affecting the performance of your engine. But unlike regular air filters, which are discarded once they are dirty, your CAI intake air filter is reusable and designed to last a long time.

Check out the video above to see Zach Attack Customs share his process for cleaning and re-oiling a high-performance air filter. We’ve broken it down into simple steps below, along with his expert tips to make the job easy and safe.

Remove The Air Filter

Start by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery. Then carefully remove the filter box. Zach advises being cautious around nearby sensors or connections to avoid damage.

“There’s just 3 screws and then everything will come right out.”

– Zach Attack Customs

Once the filter box is removed, remove the intake tube and pull the filter out of the housing. 

Clean And Rinse

Using the cleaning solution from our Cold Air Inductions Air Filter Recharge Kit, spray the filter thoroughly to break down dirt and debris. Let the cleaner soak for a few minutes but avoid letting it dry.

Next, rinse the filter with cool water, aiming from the inside out. This prevents dirt from being pushed further into the filter media. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear. Be sure to:

  • Use gentle water pressure to avoid damaging the filter pleats.
  • Repeat as necessary until the water runs clean and the cleaner is gone.

Dry Thoroughly

Let the filter air dry completely before applying oil. Zach stresses the importance of patience here – adding oil to a damp filter can reduce performance and lead to clogs. Set the filter in a clean, ventilated area and allow enough time for it to dry.

Re-Oil The Filter

Once the filter is completely dry, apply the oil to the filter in even rings across the filter pleats. Zach recommends starting with a light coat and adding more as needed. Avoid over-saturating the filter, as too much oil can restrict airflow of your oiled air filter or possibly coat your mass airflow sensor. It’s best to:

  • Use the oil included in your recharge kit for best results.
  • Apply oil evenly in a light coat for consistent coverage. 

“Set your filter down and then let it wick for about 20 minutes. Then go back and see any areas that you missed.”

– Zach Attack Customs

Reinstall The Filter

After the oil has had time to soak in, reinstall the filter into your cold air intake system. Ensure it’s secured properly and that clamps are tightened just enough to hold it in place without over-stressing the parts.

Why Maintain Your Filter?

A clean, well-oiled filter ensures maximum airflow and helps your engine perform at its best. Cold Air Inductions’ pre-oiled high-performance air filters are designed to last, but require regular maintenance to extend their lifespan even further.

With the right tools, maintaining your air filter is quick and easy. Grab a Cold Air Inductions Recharge Kit and keep your engine operating at peak performance. To learn more about our high-performance filters and find the perfect fit for your intake, check our air filter collection!

How To Upgrade The Look Of Your Engine Bay

/in /by

Looking to for a quick way to transform your car’s engine bay without diving into a full overhaul? A CAI cold air intake kit is one of the easiest and fastest ways to do it. Not only does it noticeably improve performance, but it also upgrades the look of your vehicle under the hood.

A Cold Air Intake Kit Is The Ultimate Engine Bay Upgrade

“This product looks great under the hood. Easy install, took less than 20 minutes. Definitely gives better throttle response and a nice whoosh whoosh. Don’t know about gains, but I did not buy it for gains, just want something nicer under the hood than the stock one.” – Raymond

In as little as 30 minutes, a CAI kit can provide your engine bay with a custom, polished appearance. Our kits are equipped with high-quality finishes that don’t just look great – they perform great and come with a limited lifetime warranty. Cold Air Inductions intakes emphasize both form and function, making your car stand out when the you pop the hood.

“Easy install. Looks good under the hood. Arguably one of the best designs available without having to switch to e-fans. The previous owner did away with the stock air lid so I was forced to find a suitable alternative. This works great!” – Brandie

What Makes Cold Air Inductions The Ideal Choice?

Image Credit: Recon M

“Let’s be real, most intake systems and all of the short Ram intakes that pull hot under hood air are truly a waste of money & they kill the power of your vehicle. This is NOT that! Insulated box, insulated pipe, & access to fresh air from the grill & under the truck that was previously inaccessible by the OEM box. Sounds great, looks great, & after a few miles my 2010 Tahoe’s ECU figured out it could breath better & became a little more peppy. Not a huge deal in cooler months, but during our triple digit Texas summers I expect a noticeable improvement because I experienced noticeable power loss due to significant heat soak on the OEM intake. Also, I added an OBDii reader screenshot showing that under certain conditions intake temps are actually the same as ambient, even after I had been running the truck for a while & everything was hot…which is HUGE because the OEM intake never ever did that, not even close. It was always much hotter than ambient once the engine bay was hot.” – Recon M.

Cold Air Inductions has been a leading manufacturer of sealed cold air intake systems since 2004. All our intake kits are designed and engineered for specific vehicles to deliver noticeable improvements over stock performance and come with a lifetime warranty. Our metal intakes help maintain cooler air temperatures, which increases air density and improves engine performance. Additionally, you’ll get:

  • 💪 Performance boost: Improved airflow means better engine efficiency.
  • ✨ Eye-catching design: Polished or powder-coated finishes enhance aesthetics.
  • 🛠️ Easy installation: Most CAI kits are bolt-on, requiring only basic tools.
  • ⚙️ Durable materials: Built to last under high-heat engine conditions without heat soak.

Get the Look, Feel, and Performance You Deserve

Whether you’re a seasoned car enthusiast or just starting out, upgrading your cold air intake is a smart move. It adds a professional, high-performance vibe to your engine bay that can’t be matched by stock parts. Plus, you’ll enjoy a noticeable performance gain, especially when paired with other modifications.

“This product was everything it said it was. I wanted to do the dyno test before and after, but it’s not necessary. You can hear and feel it nearing the redline. Won a couple races over stock! Loved this purchase.“

“Love this product. It was very easy to install and looks great under the hood. Very detailed and specific instructions for my vehicle. A beginner should have no problem with the installation. I’m sure there was increased horsepower but I’m a fan of the low end torque and this product definitely delivers. Major improvement in throttle response. You can literally hear the engine inhaling massive amounts of air when you romp down on the throttle. Very satisfied customer in function, aesthetics and quality of this product.“

Cold Air Inductions Camaro Drag Strip Comparison

/in /by

Are you curious about how a 6th Gen Camaro performs at the drag strip with a Cold Air induction intake? Check out the latest video for a detailed comparison and see the results for yourself!

The 6th Gen Camaro

The 6th Generation Camaro is a seriously fast car. With performance that puts its rivals in the barn, including cars costing twice as much, it offers just about the most bang for your buck.

That’s not to say its performance can’t be improved, and one of the easiest mods is to install a CAI cold air intake system. Our kits are easy to install, taking just about 30 minutes with a few hand tools. The high quality is immediately noticeable, adding a custom touch under the hood. But the thing that’s really noticeable is the performance.

The Stock 2016 Camaro SS Runs A 12-Second Quarter Mile

In the video, CAI tests a 2016 Camaro at the drag strip. The only modification planned was to add a CAI intake system. Before adding the intake, the Camaro ran a 12.03-second quarter mile on its first pass, topping out at 116 mph. Over the next several passes, it averages just over 12 seconds at 117 mph. Then it’s time to install the CAI intake.

Running The CAI Intake

To test the CAI intake using the exact same conditions, we parked the car for an hour. Using basic tools, the intake was swapped out in 15 minutes in the parking lot. Then we immediately took the car back to the track without giving the car time to learn the intake.

Immediately, the 2016 Camaro puts down an 11.91-second time, running at 117 mph. Subsequent passes were also in that range; on average, the Camaro improved 0.82 seconds at the strip. The performance improvement backs up our claim that adding a CAI intake provides a 10-15 horsepower gain without any other mods.

Boost Your Camaro’s Performance With A CAI Intake

Upgrade Your Camaro Stock Intake With An Elite Carbon Cold Air Intake From CAI

/in , /by

If you’re a fan of fast cars and big horsepower, you’ve probably considered swapping out your stock air intake system. Dyno tests show that installing a cold air intake system can boost horsepower, giving you more performance and a better intake sound.

The improved airflow to your engine can also benefit fuel economy. So why wait? You can install the ZL1 Elite Carbon Series yourself, and enjoy enhanced performance in minutes.

ZL1 Elite Carbon Series Intake System

The Elite Carbon Series is our flagship cold air intake. It is constructed almost completely out of carbon fiber. It includes:

  • Carbon Fiber Air Box with Clear Inspection Window
  • Carbon Fiber Intake Tube + High Performance Air Filter
  • Flex Coupler/Stainless Clamps
  • Comprehensive Installation Instructions

The ZL1 Elite Carbon Series system uses carbon fiber construction. Benefits include light weight, strength, durability, and heat dissipation properties. The intake tube boasts a sleek design, and the air filter box includes a clear plexiglass window. This allows you to check the filter’s condition to know when it needs cleaning or replacing.

Stainless steel clamps ensure the system remains securely attached. While a flexible coupler facilitates easy connection to the throttle body. Additionally, it comes equipped with a high-performance air filter. This kit is compatible with the 2017-2021 Camaro ZL1. Check out our range of Elite Series cold air induction kits, too.

The Installation Process

Replacing an air intake system may seem scary if you don’t work on your car. But it’s quite straightforward, particularly with this kit. It includes all the necessary components and an excellent installation guide to help you along the way. Watch the video below to see how simple the process can be:

  1. Start by loosening the clamps and screws on your current air intake system. Carefully remove the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and detach the PCV tube. Once everything is disconnected, remove the entire assembly from the car.
  2. Next, begin the assembly process, which is straightforward. Connect the carbon fiber intake tube to the high-performance filter by screwing them together. Place the air filter inside the filter housing box and secure it. Wrap the foam gasket around the lower intake of the filter box.
  3. Attach the coupler boot to the throttle body tube, making sure to follow the directions indicated for proper orientation. Then, fit the intake tube into the other end of the coupler boot. It’s best to connect the intake tube side first, then pivot the air filter box into its final position.
  4. Secure the system by tightening the stainless-steel clamps around the coupler boot first to ensure a tight fit. Attach the air filter body to the car using the retainer clips that fit into the grommets on your vehicle.
  5. Lastly, reconnect the PCV tube and carefully reinsert the MAF sensor into its slot on the intake tube. As demonstrated in the video, it might be a snug fit, so proceed slowly to avoid any damage.
