What was the OAT on the 1st dyno run compared to the second? I ask since OAT must be taken into account. For example, if it were two degrees cooler on the day of the 2nd dyno run that alone could explain a slight HP increase. However, if it was warmer, and there was still an increase in HP it would be more meaningful. As far as a tune it's not difficult to get a little more HP, even if starting from bone stock, since factory tunes are fairly conservative as they must meet EPA clean air standards. Not trying to spoil the party, it's just science. And regardless of what you do with the Colorado, the ZR1 won't have anything to worry about. ;) Btw: I like watching others work on vehicles. It's much easier than doing it myself. ;)

Hello again HPO!! Great video and you have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time and expense to get the proof! Now I’d like to give my $.02 worth. I’m not sure how much that kit cost, but being made out of what looks like sheet metal, has a disadvantage over plastic of holding heat, and to a small extent weight. Also without a smooth intake tube after the sensor mount tube is just wrong, especially it priced higher than kit, like K&N, that offer the kits both ways, metal and plastic, with an without tubes! The I also noticed where the box meets up to the inner fender, there’s a lot of extra metal in the fender liner/frame design, that leaves the hole smaller than the wide open air box where it mounts up to on the inner fender! I know it would not be easy, but cutting away that extra metal, to make that hole as large as the open side of the air box I’m sure would help! Just look at the original air box, you can see what I mean looking at the snorkel that fits into the same size hole! That restricts the aftermarket air box, effectively as much as the stock air box! I’d love to see a dyno run after that hole get enlarged! Plus a comparison between the major aftermarket CAI’s. I remember seeing one 5 years ago, where that was done on a 2015 Charger R/T, where 6 different kits were compared. The best was the plastic type K&N, at $325 at the time. The worst was from a brand I cannot remember, but there was no tube after the sensor! The most expensive gave the most peak hp, that was actually a fancy MOPAR CAI Kit, with aluminum tubes, plastic molded box and big blue conical air filter. But the power increase was less at 4-5 thousand than the K&N, that had more tq at lower rpm! But I know every vehicle is different!

Do yourself a favor. Try the K&N cold system part number 77-3104KP. If you are truly "HP Obsessed" you will be impressed. HP power can make more noise as it breathes better ( or capable of breathing better), as you have already seen. The cover being on the engine is 100% cosmetic. If ya like the look that's fine. But I have never noticed it with the hood closed, and that is how most vehicles are operated. Then add an exhaust ( I like the Borla) as it is completely 304 stainless - not just the tip- like the O.E. so it will last a long time. The engine can't draw more air if it can not get out what it has sucked in. And exhaust is designed to help scavenge the charge out of the cylinders which helps to fill the cylinders. Adding two slicks to a rear drive vehicle can give you a bit more traction , but when you add sure/grip, what a difference! I've seen dyno recording 20 more HP at the ground in these v-6's. the two or so you got???

Little known fact, I used to build and sell custom CAIs on Amazon with all 5-star reviews. One thing to consider is that metal intakes start colder but once heat soaked often go from adding to subtracting power. You might also compare to simply changing the stock filter element with a free flowing K&N. That stock intake looks very well designed. Also, intake gains are usually measured at the point of max difference under the two dyno curves, not at peak. Lastly, I use oiled filters too, but they have their skeptics who say more flow means less filtering. Both of those options look great.

People your stock air box is a cold air intake from the factory on your Colorado’s. Taking the factory box out and replacing it with a aluminum box that’s a heat sink will bring your temps up. Both boxes breath through the same hole in the fender, just replace your air filter with a K&N or similar washable they flow way more air that’s where there getting there HP# from. A stock replacement filter from K&N has more surface Area And more flow than their filter just don’t over oil filter As It’s not good for the mass airflow sensor. Get the same or better ## for the cost of a filter and no problems from the Poe Poe that wants to look under the hood

So, a few more HP. Okay, sounds like it's time for a bigger boat.😉 Now you've got to get Matty to do a Carbon Fiber wrap on the new air box and the engine cover.😏 FWIW, as far as engine covers go, I like the one on the Colorado. Save the Wave.🙋‍♂️

The after numbers can be from the air intake or more likely an environmental difference like lower ambient temperature, different humidity, or some other change. A difference that small is certainly not worth what you paid for the intake. This just reinforces what everyone on the forums and FB page say, an intake is worthless on the 3.6 LGZ engine.

Agreed. Definitely not conclusive.

Lets see the graft in its entirety. Peak numbers don't mean squat! The peak torque increase alone made it worth it. However, did you improve the torque curve throughout the mid range where you cruise? It may have given you 6 ft/lbs "peak" torque, but did it open up 10-15 ft/lbs in the areas that you drive in the most where you really need it? Also, what did it do you your AFR? Are you too leaned out, or did the ECU compensate for the increased air flow? There is so much useful information missing here.

Hey Justin,,,,,the K&N C.A.I is a lot louder than the one you just installed. The K&N has long plastic tube, and i think that`s what makes it so loud. If im not mistaken Justin, the one you just installed is almost identical to the one from GM,,,,BUT,,,,, The BIG COVER thats on top of your engine,,,,,its actually part of your air intake system, and thats a really bad design by GM There`s a small air port that`s made into that cover, just underneath,,,,and i think that`s the part that actually limits the amount of air that feeds into your air intake on the manifold. It took me a long time to figure that out when i installed the K&N on my 2015. Im willing to bet,,,,that the K&N Cold Air Intake provides a lot more horsepower than the one you have, because it completely eliminates that big cover, and one big tube goes in its place. If you remove that cover and look under it you can see what i mean. Also,,,,with the K&N system installed, that engine will actually backfire through the air intake when you shut the motor off almost every time. It`s a very faint backfire sound. That another reason why i took my K&N back off.

This cold air intake only does half of what a full cold air intake does. This one is using the same intake tube, with all the restrictions that come with it. Its just a little louder than the stock one, with a slight increase of air flow because of a more open filter. If you want real cold air intake results, you have to get a different intake tube to really increase air flow.

If you had changed out the the rest of the intake instead of using the stock engine cover section, you would have gained another 15-20 hp. Got an S&B for my 2018 and it definitely made a difference in my pedal response.

Yup. As demonstrated here. The benefits of an intake aren't just added power, though.

Are you going to get a tune done with the intake now? Interested in seeing the final results.

I may. I'm not sure if I want to void my powertrain warranty just yet.

I hear ya. I still haven’t done too many things to my ‘18 Z71 either for the same reason LOL. But I did get that cup holder inserts you recommended.

What kind of side steps do you have installed I want some?

These are the stock offering for the Colorado. my truck didn't come with them but I found them on Craigslist for a good price.

Any updates on this intake? Seriously considering buying but torn between K & N and this CAI brand that you have

Just wondering if you are asking gas mileage or miles on the odometer? I'd like to know if gas mileage improves?

Is it much louder at low RPM? Like on the highway is the NVH any worse with an aftermarket intake?

@HorsePowerObsessed

Not really much different at low RPM and I didn't notice any difference in NVH either.

So the tune is key to power

i am so disappointed with the numbers cause the 2020 ranger i had was a 4cyl. turbo and had better numbers stock (256hp and 278torque from dyno) i thought the v6 would have better numbers which i ended up getting a 2020 colorado zr2 v6

Really appreciate the video. Want to do the same #TrinidadandTobago

Do you have any type of discount code for them?

Does the intake drone any? Especially around 2k rpm? I drive highways alot and dont want much drone.

2hp gain for only $350? The only thing I like about this CAI is you keep the stock engine cover, now if they offered a dry washable filter to put in it? Maybe I could put a K&N dry washable filter in it? 🤔
