Duramax Intake Review From FixedVaneDuramax
In this video, we get to watch as the team from Fixed Vane Duramax installs a Cold Air Inductions intake on a Chevy truck equipped with a L5P Duramax engine. The installation highlights how quick and easy it is to add power and performance to your vehicle with a CAI high-quality cold air intake system.
Follow along as the Fixed Vain Duramax team unboxes the kit, reveals what makes our products stand out, and gets down to business.
Why Choose A Cold Air Intake System?
The video begins by emphasizing why a cold air intake system is such a valuable upgrade to any modern vehicle, especially one that operates at higher engine temperatures because of their emissions equipment. Some of the key benefits include:
- Improved airflow to the engine, which results in more efficient combustion
- Increased horsepower and torque for better overall performance
- Enhanced throttle response, giving the vehicle a more powerful feel
- Better fuel efficiency under normal driving conditions
“The hotter the air is, the less dense it is. Therefore the less air you’re actually getting into the engine making it less efficient.”
