November 15, 2024/in Press /by akhilm

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.”

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 filter and 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.
Custom fit for Chevy trucks: The intake system is built specifically for this make and model, ensuring it fits perfectly under the hood and aligns with the vehicle’s existing components.

The Cold Air Inductions intake system showcased in the video is designed for Chevy and GMC trucks, making it a great choice for truck owners looking to improve performance without complicated installations.

Step-By-Step Install Overview

The installation process is broken down into easy-to-follow steps:

Remove the old air intake: The factory intake is removed by loosening clamps and disconnecting the MAF sensor.
Prep the new CAI intake: The new intake system comes mostly pre-assembled, making it simple to install.
Install the new system: After inserting the new air filter, the intake tube and heat shield are installed with a few bolts.
Reconnect the MAF sensor: The video emphasizes the importance of correctly reconnecting the MAF sensor to ensure optimal performance.

The entire process takes less than hour, with no need for special tools or complex adjustments. The Fixed Vane Duramax team mentions how impressed they are with the fit and finish of the CAI intake, commenting:

“Cold Air Inductions has done a ton of good work over the years.”

Do All Air Intake Systems Provide Performance Gains?

Ever wondered how much of a difference a high-quality cold air intake can make on your Pontiac GTO? This video from DiabloFormula Racing dives into the transformative power of CAI’s Cold Air Intake system, showcasing noticeable performance gains.

Let’s break down the key highlights and takeaways from the test.

The Power Of Cold Air: A Closer Look

Installing the wrong cold air intake may be even worse than sticking with a stock unit. Many aftermarket intake systems are made from injection-molded plastic and are not sealed or insulated, which can actually reduce your car’s performance. At Cold Air Inductions, our 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

We also retain the stock OEM sensors, making our kits easy to install in just about 30 minutes. Every cold air intake system is built to the highest quality – that’s why we’re a Tier 1 OEM supplier. Our intakes are tested to ensure they deliver real performance gains, including:

Immediate HP Increase: You get a noticeable horsepower (HP) boost provided by CAI’s Cold Air Intake system.
Enhanced Engine Efficiency: Cooler air can not only improve performance but enhance your GTO’s engine efficiency.

Seeing Is Believing: The Video Breakdown

In this video, DiabloFormula Racing takes us through the journey of upgrading a 2005-2006 Pontiac 6.0L V8 GTO with a CAI Cold Air Intake. The GTO was tuned and dyno-tested before the CAI intake installation. After installation, the GTO saw an increase of 5hp and 3ft-lbs of torque without ANY additional tuning. From unboxing to the final roar of the engine, it’s a testament to the tangible benefits of quality aftermarket parts.

Take Your GTO To The Next Level

“With CAI’s intake, we’re not just talking about numbers; we’re talking about a driving experience transformed.”

The First Performance Mod You Should Do On Your Truck

December 27, 2023/in Press /by coldai

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.
