Our owner and founder James Newsome didn’t stop at designing a whole new approach to the cold air intake air box – he went on to create his own design for high-performance air filters, which have features above and beyond the industry standard. Each air filter is designed for vehicle-specific systems. The shape, pleat count, and layers of filtration media are all engineered for optimum airflow with the least amount of turbulence, not just what will fit in the air box. Our air filters see extensive testing and validation on a chassis dyno to ensure maximum power gains.
But don’t just take our word for it – here’s what our customers have to say:
“Using this cold air intake has been nothing short of phenomenal! Instant visible power increases and it just makes my Camaro perform so much better! Excellent engine mod to use if you’re looking for instant power gain and no tune is required.”
– Kenroy B.
“Once ordered it took two days to arrive. It was cheaper even with shipping than the factory OEM filter for my 2019 Chevy Silverado LD 5.3 was. I’m so happy with my cold air kit I bought an extra filter when cleaning the other one.”
– Raymond G.
“Great quality! Really like my cold air intake and just bought another filter to trade out while I clean the original.”
– James W.
With every CAI high-performance air filter, you get:
Optimal Airflow: Count on our high-performance air filter to maximize airflow while minimizing power-robbing turbulence.
Improved Efficiency: Because our air filters are designed to work with vehicle-specific systems, they provide better efficiency and performance compared to OEM filters.

Heat soak is a common problem that affects many engines, especially those with forced induction. It occurs when heat from the engine and exhaust system is absorbed by surrounding components, which can reduce performance and efficiency. While it’s difficult to avoid heat soak completely, you can significantly reduce its impact.
In this post, we’ll cover what heat soak is and how to address it.
What is Heat Soak?
Heat soak happens when the engine’s heat is absorbed by components like the intake manifold, throttle body, and intercooler. This heat transfer raises the temperature of the incoming air, which reduces its density and the engine’s power output. Over time, this can lead to decreased performance and could potentially damage engine components.
How Heat Soak Has Been Addressed Over the Years
Over the years, engineers and car enthusiasts have developed several methods to combat heat soak:
Heat Shields and Wraps: These products insulate hot components, preventing heat from spreading.
Intercoolers: Air-to-air or air-to-water intercoolers cool the intake air before it enters the engine.
Cold Air Intakes: These systems draw cooler air from outside the engine bay, increasing air density and performance.
Why CAI’s Metal Intakes are the Best Solution
Cold Air Inductions (CAI) offers metal intakes that are particularly effective in reducing heat soak. Here’s why:
Heat Resistance: Metal intakes are less prone to absorbing and retaining heat compared to plastic intakes.
Durability: Metal is more durable and can withstand the high temperatures in the engine bay.
Performance: Metal intakes help maintain cooler air temperatures, which increases air density and improves engine performance.
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.

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.

Upgrading your Chevy Silverado’s performance has never been easier with a Cold Air Inductions cold air intake system. In this video, the Lone Star Hawaiian installs a CAI intake on his 2020 Chevy Silverado and talks about the performance benefits.
Quick And Easy Installation
According to Lone Star Hawaiian, installing the CAI intake on his 2020 Silverado Trail Boss not only adds a few horsepower but helps it “make some amazing sounds.” Combined with a muffler delete, the truck is transformed into something “truly epic” that he enjoys driving.
As shown in the video, the CAI kit is a high-quality cold air intake system designed to fit specific models, like the 2019 to 2024 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 engine. Unlike many plastic intake systems, our kit includes an aluminum air box with a clear inspection window and a thermal-coated intake tube, which insulates the air flowing into your engine, keeping it cool.
Lone Star Hawaiian is clearly impressed by the quality of the kit, including the “really well thought-out and executed instructions.” Not only do they include, clear, detailed step-by-step photos, but make it a cinch to install the CAI intake. Using only a few hand tools, you can install the kit in less than an hour, even if you’re not a seasoned mechanic.
Adding Power And Better Sound
Taking the Silverado for a test drive, Lone Star Hawaiian immediately notices a difference. Not only does his 2020 Trail Boss Silverado sound better, but it’s “lighter on her feet.” The sound is throatier with a “wisp of intake charge noise.” Coupled with the muffler delete, the Silverado sounds transformed and may be the perfect combo for his vehicle.
From our own extensive testing, we know that the CAI cold air intake will add up to 11 horsepower at the wheels and provide better fuel economy. It also wakes up your engine, making it more responsive. All while improving engine sound and adding a stylish, custom look to your truck’s engine.

“There’s no doubt that Cold Air Intake systems are incredibly popular. Typically, the first thing “enthusiasts” do when they buy a car if it doesn’t already have one, is pull out the stock intake system and replace it with a “Cold Air Intake System.” Part of the reason they are so popular is 1) they are easy to install, and 2) they work well. And how they work is surprisingly elementary. Here is a recap of the install of a Cold Air Induction Elite Series cold air intake for my 2020 Silverado Trail Boss:
Shortly after purchasing my brand-new 2020 Silverado Trail Boss, I quickly noticed two things that needed to be changed, immediately. The first was the lack of “noise” a typical truck should make. Without an exhaust tone that was audible from the cab, it is near impossible to hear or feel your truck’s RPM. Without literally looking down at your tach, the amount of effort you’re asking from your tried-and-true V8 is a complete mystery. This was easily solved with a muffler delete kit from AFE, which quickly livened the truck up for a low cost and easy install. The truck is still equipped with a restrictive exhaust with cats and multiple resonators, so my neighbors don’t hate me…yet.
The next issue I needed to tackle was the hideous and extremely restrictive stock air intake system. When Chevrolet redesigned what is the “new and improved” Silverado for 2019, they redesigned the entire engine bay. The airbox moved from the passenger-side, where it lived for generations, to the driver-side of the engine bay. Also with the redesign came an extremely aggressive front end. Additional brackets were added at the front corners of the engine bay causing the stock air-box to be mounted much closer to the engine than the previous generations. When you move the stock plastic air box right next to the 8-cylinder furnace (also known as your engine), it’s easy to believe the air being fed through the stock filter and box is hotter than it needs to be. This is where a Cold Air Intake becomes a huge advantage.
So why don’t manufacturers do this from the factory? The cylinders in internal combustion engines generate power through controlled explosions with fuel and air. Typically, your stock engine does not receive as much air as it should for an optimal combustion cycle. Stock air intakes are designed to keep engine noise level to a minimum by using restrictive bends and a disposable filter usually at the expense of horsepower and efficiency. Surprising, right? If you are buying a truck, especially a Trail Boss, chances are you don’t expect the noise level to be kept to that of a Rolls-Royce. By freeing up the restrictive flow, you allow your engine to intake air more efficiently, and in a related benefit, it sounds dang good. But that’s only part of the advantage.
The “Cold Air” portion of Cold Air Intakes provide both increased performance and better fuel efficiency, and how this works is pretty simple. If you think back to your 7th-grade chemistry class, you’ll remember that when you compare hot air to cold air, the air molecules of hot air are spread much further apart than cold air. As air is cooled it becomes much denser, which means more oxygen. If you have a charge of cold air into a confined area, like an engine cylinder, you have much more oxygen molecules in that cylinder than you would have with hot air. And more oxygen equals more powerful and efficient combustion. This results not only in increased horsepower (upwards of +14 hp with Cold Air Inductions system), but increased fuel efficiency. So, more power and you save money at the pump. Does it get any better?
The Cold Air Inductions intake system is constructed of high-quality heat-shielding material that prevents any heat soak. As you drive on hot summer days, you have confidence that the high flow filament filter and streamlined MAF tube will allow cold air to be sucked in through the shielded intake box to be converted into horsepower and big smiles. The combination of AFE’s muffler delete and Cold Air Inductions intake system creates an intoxicating sound that will most certainly lead to a very heavy right foot.
As an easy power-adding-gas-saving modification, the Cold Air Inductions intake system for the 2019–2020 Silverado is an absolute no-brainer. The truck feels lighter on its feet, and the throttle is crispy as a potato chip. The combination of sound and throttle response typically leads to feelings of horsepower gains, but this cannot be verified without a before/after dyno test. Even though I cannot verify the claimed +12 / +14 hp, I can claim an immediate increase in fuel efficiency. After several hundred miles driving, my highway mileage has increased from 19.5 mpg to 22 mpg. Cold Air Inductions’ intake on my Silverado is going to pay for itself in no time with these increases. But as for the smiles it puts on my face at wide-open throttle, it’s priceless.“

Experience the next level of performance with Cold Air Inductions Silverado Cold Air Intake. In this series of videos, Leaman Griffin dives into every detail of this affordable, must-have modification for truck enthusiasts. Check out his in-depth review, testimonial, and installation tips below!
Unboxing And First Impressions
“In a world where car and truck Cold Air Intake brands are a dime a dozen, it can be hard to stand out. Like many performance enthusiasts, my early days in the custom car and truck scene involved going to EBay and finding the cheapest parts I could, then waiting weeks if not months for them to arrive from overseas (usually China). It was all about spending the least amount of money, and having the most aftermarket parts on my ride. Fast forward to today and not much has changed, except one thing. I learned to understand the importance of quality aftermarket parts. My current vehicle is a 2019 Silverado RST. I purchased it back in March of 2019 and immediately I was looking for aftermarket parts to install. A Cold Air Intake System for my 2019 Silverado RST was one of the first items on my list, as it is for most enthusiasts. My search turned up very few results though, being that this is a new generation of Silverado in its first production year. Enter Cold Air Inductions Inc. They manufacture Cold Air Intakes for a wide variety of late model cars and trucks, and specifically several for GM and Chevy like Chevy Colorado intakes, Canyon intakes, and Camaro intakes. After researching the company and the product, I decided to try them out.”
From the start, Leaman Griffin was impressed with how thoroughly the Cold Air Intake was packed and with the quality of the components. He was expecting sheet metal parts and was surprised at the quality of the air box with its plexiglass window and the other components.
Overall, Griffin thought it was a nice quality kit with some unexpected details, like high-quality rubber gaskets and solid cast components. He also found the instruction guide easy to read, providing clear instructions on how to install all of the components, including the hose to the PCV valve.
“I received a tracking number for my order the very next day, which came as a nice surprise since usually with other manufacturers you have to wait days before your order shows as shipped. I ordered the Elite Series Cold Air Intake System for the 2019-2020 Silverado 1500 equipped with the 5.3L V8 engine. After a few days of checking tracking every couple of hours, the intake system arrived! The packaging was neat and well thought out. Everything was wrapped and protected so as not to scratch any of the parts during transit. Upon initial inspection, the quality of this Cold Air Intake System was outstanding. All of the welds looked neat and even. The intake tube was coated both inside and out, and all of the rubber connectors and clamps were high quality. I was expecting the Cold Air box to be sheet metal and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was actually thick cast metal. The cast metal is still lightweight, but the extra thickness acts as a barrier keeping hot air out of the intake box. They even went as far as to key the MAF port so that you can’t install the MAF sensor backwards. All hardware was included, as well as very detailed instructions with photos.”
Detailed Silverado Installation Guide
Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions and the labeling on all of the components. Griffin discovered that you actually need very few tools for installation – just a ratchet wrench with a few different size sockets and a couple of screwdrivers. He also found that the CAI kit was easy to install and bolted together in very little time. In fact, with the right tools, it can take as little as 30 minutes to swap out your airbox and install a CAI Cold Air Intake system.
“This Cold Air Intake System was very well engineered, and that showed during installation. After skimming over the instructions to get a general sense of the task at hand, I collected my tools and began. I only needed a few sockets, a few screwdrivers, and an allen wrench to complete the installation. In true gearhead fashion, I installed the Cold Air Intake System in my driveway, mere feet from a nice shaded garage. I was too eager to spend the extra 30 seconds pulling my truck inside. Pulling off the factory air intake was probably the most difficult part of the entire process. Once it was all removed, there were only a few bolts and clamps to tighten and I was done! The fit is that of a factory setup. Everything looks in its home and all of the components are showcased in the engine bay.”
Performance Review And Road Test
“Typically, a Cold Air Intake System won’t net you any performance gains without an ECM tune. This prompted me to head straight to the Dyno and see for myself. These trucks are still ECM locked from the factory, so any performance gains I see would surely be from the intake system. After establishing a baseline run of a whopping 277 horsepower to the rear wheels with the stock intake setup (and heavy 26” wheels ), it was time to reinstall the Cold Air Inductions unit and let her rip once more! I was surprised to see much smoother power delivery across the RPMs, especially in the higher range. Overall I saw a gain of 5 horsepower to the wheels, and 6.5 foot pounds of torque with the peak horsepower hitting at 5300 RPM and the max torque at 4900 RPM. All of this running on 87 octane pump gas. The real fun with this Cold Air Intake System comes in the day to day driving. Punch the throttle and you can hear the intake sucking air with force. I’m used to hearing the engine revving as I accelerate through the RPMs, but the addition of this intake has deepened the sound drastically. Trucks are not sporty by any means, but the more aggressive sound has me giving the throttle a little more foot than normal! As I am writing this I have had the Cold Air Inductions Inc. Cold Air Intake System on my truck for about a week, and around 1000 miles (I drive a lot). The one thing I was the most pleased with was the additional gas mileage. One of the great features of modern cars and trucks is the onboard computer systems. I can see my average MPG over the last 50 miles, or 400 miles. I keep a watch on the 400 mile average because it is the most accurate depiction of how I drive. The 50 mile average is too affected by the occasional run up to 5k RPMs as well as sitting in traffic. Only one of which I enjoy. After a week of driving, my 400 mile average has gone up about .7 MPG. While this is great, I’m sure it would have gone up more had I not enjoyed the throttle as much. Rest assured, I will never know!”
Installing the wrong cold air intake can be worse than sticking with a stock unit because it can actually reduce your vehicle’s performance. That’s why CAI kits include:
Inspection window on certain kits – great to check the reusable air filters
Powder-coated aluminum components to reduce intake temps
Perfectly insulated air boxes to maximize cold airflow
OEM-spec fasteners and connectors
As Griffin’s dyno runs show, the CAI Cold Air Intake provided a noticeable gain at the rear wheels right off the bat with no other modifications. This goes to show that while every vehicle is different, choosing a CAI Cold Air Intake system will provide you with:
A noticeable horsepower (HP) boost
Enhanced engine efficiency
“In conclusion, I am very pleased with this addition to my 2019 Silverado. The Cold Air Intake System again earned it’s spot as one of the first items that should be purchased when beginning to mod your car or truck, and Cold Air Inductions Inc. knocked it out of the park with this system. The increase in horsepower is not just noticeable, it’s thrilling. Now it’s time to get back to the Internet and search for the next mod to my truck!”

If you own a fifth- or sixth-generation Camaro, there are plenty of great mods you can do to enhance its performance and looks. Even a base Camaro is a potent vehicle, the 3.6-liter V6 pumps out between 304 and 335hp depending on the model year, and the 6.2-liter V8 makes up to 455hp in stock form. The supercharged V8, meanwhile, delivers a sledgehammer 650hp.
But more is always better, and Motor Fire put together a great video showing five of the best mods that will give you the extra power and visual edge to let your Camaro stand out from the crowd.
Check out this video by Motor Fire, demonstrating the benefits of our CAI cold air intake in 6th Gen V8 Camaro:
For a stock look that takes just minutes to install, the CAI cold air intake is your only choice. Motor Fire mentions that you get better throttle response, more power, and improved fuel economy. All without needing to tune the ECU.
2.) Oil Catch Can
The second-best upgrade is also under the hood. It is an oil catch can that reduces carbon build-up on the intake valves and increases air turbulence to improve oil separation. It’s one of the cheapest and best mods you can do to extend the life of your engine. Installation time is just 20 minutes.
3.) Aftermarket Exhaust
Replacing your restrictive stock exhaust with a free-flowing aftermarket system will improve your car’s exhaust sound and unleash a few more horses in the process. Doing a full cat-back exhaust isn’t a cheap upgrade, but it is the most comprehensive way to add power and unleash your Camaro’s sound. After all, you get what you pay for.
A more cost-effective route is to do an axle-back muffler replacement. This will enhance the exhaust sound and the upgraded tailpipe tips will look great, too. There are plenty of different systems out there, so pick the one that works best for you.
4.) New Wheels
Replacement wheels aren’t going to enhance your Camaro’s acceleration, but they will definitely improve its looks. Motor Fire recommends Z28 wheels because they look great on any Camaro, but if your budget is tight, powder coating factory wheels is also an option.
Fitting larger diameter or wider wheels will really enhance your car’s looks and can also improve handling and grip levels. Just remember that fitting very low profile tires can make the ride much harder over bumps.
5.) Body Kits and Ground Effects
Some Camaros come with aero components from the factory. If yours didn’t, adding them to a stock car can instantly enhance the aesthetics of even a base V6 Camaro.
Adding splitters, side skirts and a rear wing can give your car a very racy and aggressive look, and unless you go for a pure carbon-fiber option, it can also be reasonably cost effective.
