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.”
– Fixed Vane Duramax
Key Features Of Cold Air Inductions Intakes
As Fixed Vane Duramax goes through the install, the team highlights several features that set CAI products apart from other brands:
No tuning required: This intake system is designed to improve performance without the need for any ECU tuning. Just install it and go.
High-quality filterand components: CAI’s filter is designed to trap more dirt and debris while allowing better airflow than stock filters. Plus their kit is made from high-quality components designed to last a long time.

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.

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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!”

Performance cars are built with high quality parts, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement. The sixth generation Chevy Camaro SS is already an impressive performer. It comes stock with a 455hp 6.2-liter V8 that can launch it from 0-60mph in just 4.5-seconds.
It can also cover the quarter mile in just over 12-seconds. That’s quick even for modified V8s. Bad Bowtie Productions decided to take their 2016 Camaro SS to the dragstrip to find out what it would do stock. Then they installed a CAI Cold Air Intake to see whether it made a difference. Read on to find out.
Stock Runs
First off, they did three stock passes to get a baseline:
ET 12.03@116mph
ET 12.01@117mph
ET 11.99@117mph
The baseline average works out to an elapsed time of [email protected]. Those are pretty healthy numbers for a bone stock Camaro SS. Clearly the track surface and car were as good as it was going to get. The car was left to cool down for an hour, during which the CAI Cold Air Intake was installed. The entire process took just 15 minutes with basic tools.
It was then driven straight to the drag strip without waiting for the ECU to recalibrate to the additional airflow.
CAI Intake Runs
The Bad Bowtie Productions crew then did three passes with the new CAI kit installed and reached an average elapsed time of [email protected]:
There are plenty of cold air induction kits on the market. What makes CAI stand out is the attention to detail and quality of every product we sell. Every kit is supplied with everything you need for a hassle-free installation. We use OEM-quality fittings and keep all original sensors.

Cold air intakes are an inexpensive way to increase your truck’s performance, providing better towing and gas mileage while improving its sound. The key is finding a high-quality system that cools and improves airflow.
That’s why GuitarmageddonZL1 chose an intake system from Cold Air Inductions and says it should be the first performance mod on your truck. We’ll cover the highlights of their video in this post and explain what makes our cold air intakes stand out from the competition.
Cold Air Inductions Chevy Silverado Intake Install
GuitarmageddonZL1 installed a Cold Air Inductions cold air intake on his new Chevrolet Silverado, which was the first performance modification he did on the truck. In the video, he comments on the simplicity of the installation and the noticeable sound differences.
“The cool thing about this intake is it does not require a tune so it’s literally just bolt-on-and-go.”
– GuitarmageddonZL1
Our cold air intake not only changes the throaty sound of the V8 but helps the engine make more power. Each intake system is built for a specific vehicle, allowing it to provide the ideal amount of airflow for the engine. This allows more efficient combustion in the engine, leading to improvements in horsepower and fuel economy. Even though most V8 trucks already provide great power to the wheels, the extra performance comes in handy when pulling a trailer or hauling a heavy load.
Cold Air Induction’s Performance Is In The Details
There are many great-looking air intakes on the market, but nothing matches the performance and engineering 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.
“They measure with a scaled 3D measurement, so it fits perfectly – it’s a tight fit because of that and takes some finesse – but once you get it in, it’s awesome. A perfect fit.”
– GuitarmageddonZL1
Additionally, each system comes with the following:
OEM-spec tubing, fasteners, and connectors for the crankcase breather tube
High-quality, reusable eight-layer cotton fiber air filter
Plexiglass inspection window
Powder-coated aluminum components to reduce intake temps
Perfectly insulated air boxes to maximize cold airflow
In most cases, it only takes a few tools and 15-20 minutes to install one of our cold air intakes. However, you’ll immediately notice the improved power, throatier sound, and increased fuel economy.
Why Choose A Cold Air Inductions Intake?
Cold Air Inductions are designed and engineered for specific vehicles to deliver noticeable improvements over stock performance. Every one of our kits is tested to verify performance gains and comes with a lifetime warranty.

The Chevy Silverado is a great truck. It’s reliable, tough, and comes with plenty of options. But there are some great upgrades that you can’t get from the factory. In this blog, we look into the five easiest upgrades you can make to your Silverado.
Whether you have a 5.3 or 6.2-liter V8 under the hood, there’s one thing your Silverado will be missing. And that’s a free-flowing exhaust system to unleash the sound of your motor. There are plenty of reputable exhaust specialists out there that offer bespoke systems for the Silverado and offer:
Better exhaust sound
More power
Improved fuel economy
Make sure to get a cat-back system rather than just a replacement rear muffler. That way, you get more power and better fuel economy, too.
Keep In Mind:Some exhausts can drone at cruising speeds, so try to drive to a vehicle equipped with the system you want first.
The ECU in a modern car controls everything from ignition to timing and fuel delivery. Manufacturers use generic ECU settings that can often be reprogrammed to deliver:
Better performance
Smoother power delivery
Better gas mileage
An ECU remap on its own may not deliver a major performance boost. But it is certainly worthwhile if you have done other mods to your truck, too.
Keep In Mind:You could invalidate your factory warranty with certain ECU remaps.
If you enjoy heading off-road, then upgrading the suspension with components like leveling kits or lift kits can enhance your truck’s capabilities and give you:
Better off-road ability
Enhanced protection for the underside of the truck
Installing more capable shock absorbers and taller springs will give you an edge on tough trails.
Keep In Mind:An overly stiff suspension can make for a hard ride on the road.
A tire upgrade is often done in conjunction with suspension improvements and can:
Enhance the look of your truck
Provide more ground clearance
Larger tires will improve ground clearance. And you can choose between on and off-road tread types to enhance grip levels. Upgraded alloy wheels can also give your truck a unique look.
Keep In Mind:Very low-profile tires look cool but can make the ride hard.

One of the best and easiest upgrades you can do is to install a cold air intake. Unlike the other options here, it can be done in your driveway. Cold Air Inductions intake kits are designed to work specifically with your vehicle and will give you:
Better intake sound
Improved performance
Better fuel economy
This results in real power gains that you can feel. And the enhanced intake sound is just icing on the cake. The increased airflow into the engine allows it to perform more efficiently. So your fuel economy will improve, too.
Keep In Mind:Only a high-quality aftermarket sealed airbox intake system will deliver these results.
