2019 Silverado Cold Air Intake Dyno Comparison VS Stock Cold Air Inductions

[@Turbogto_guy]

Thx. You just saved me $400. I could throw a drop in filter in and get the same results for a lot less money. That intake is the best designed out off all the others so with more mods it would probably shine. This lets you know how efficient the factory setup is nowadays.

[@ErrorAcquired]

I litterally just went through the same decision process. Went with the KN drop in for my Veloster

[@dannyv9904]

That's what I did too on my Silverado I just put in a drop in filter

[@wildta4302]

Roto-Fab is where it at! get the 6.2 engine

[@betteruin2294]

yeah, your 5 hp gain at the wheel is about 7hp gain at the motor. for 280 bucks, why wouldn't that be an ok situation?

[@schmoey45]

I’ve got a ‘20 LT Trailboss, good videos! I live about 2 miles from that place, he’s always got some badass vetts coming in and out.

[@franktags136]

It’s amazing that majority of the independent tests on cold air intake systems commonly either lose a bit of HP and torque or possible gain 1 HP. It’s difficult to know what’s real anymore, yet what is an absolute fact is Cold Air Intakes are absolutely a waste of money. You won’t feel any difference in performance at all, only the sound possibly coming from under the hood. Ridiculous cost for nothing !!

[@Jimmyxsx]

Just drop a high flow K&N filter in the factory box dude, youll have the same results as with this expensive cold air intake and save some money.

[@CartwrightFour]

Nico Five’0 exactly

[@ErrorAcquired]

I just did this, so happy! Id spend 50 bucks in a heartbeat for some real WHP gains plus addition mpg plus deeper intake noise

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Exactly! I did the drop in K&N air filter plus a 91 performance tune (Diablo I3 In-tune) canned tune on my 2014 Chevy Silverado (5.3L). No other mods. The difference was night/day...woke that engine right up.

[@moe4772]

Remember, a alot of these videos are sponsored although they don't say it, so they try to push that product. I've tried both this and the K&N on my 6.2L and could not feel ANY difference except both made the truck sound louder with a nice deep growl when you smashed the gas pedal. The ONLY difference was the K&N was a little louder. I'm currently doing a datalog of the IATs with this CAI, K&N and oem with drop in... I will try to update this post with my results.

[@bmoya170]

Any update?

[@lionelpatterson1436]

Great video the dyno testing really interesting

[@grimreaperv6]

Given the rain. Was probably humid. Tune will help

[@jerimiahreece8507]

Wait. 5HP gain? That's like... margin of error from dyno test to dyno test. Seriously.

[@mrmasonry9792]

I have always said this is a useless Mod unless your going all out. How does it make the air any "colder" than the stock setup? 5 HP?? Id get more HP out of a flame paint job......

[@CartwrightFour]

Just removed my Banks Ram Air intake. Couldn’t stand the sound, I have a 5.3 and it sounded like a damn v6 Accord. Sticking with pop-in K&N filter and Borla cat back.

[@mondoa2363]

Damn!!! Those rims are legit

[@benwood1777]

Sweet truck. Great video. These 5.3s leave a lot of untapped power on the table. Maybe look into doing an L86 intake swap if you're still wanting a bit more power. The larger 6.2 intake manifold and throttle body fit right on the 5.3. I've seen a few 5.3s nearing 400hp with bolt ons and a good tune

[@bigbeef8935]

My 2020 6.2 makes that stock

[@justinclark6053]

Big Beef89 no shit..... it’s a 6.2L........

[@robgp69]

@@bigbeef8935 and my Mustang 5.0 was 500hp with Cat Deletes and e85. What's your point....? Obviously different engines will make different power.

[@snooka2484]

I've never seen a stock 6.2 nearing 400, not even close. I've seen 331whp on the low end and 350whp on the high end. This is all dependent on the dyno being used, ambient air temperature and elevation. No doubt the 6.2s are stronger than 5.3s. Not surprisingly, though, GM releases these 5.3s so rich they drown. It's like they're purposely de-tuned.

[@jonathancartier3567]

@@bigbeef8935 400hp at the wheels, your stock truck would be slightly over 300 at the wheels if a 5.3 is 277

[@DannymikReacts]

Very cool to see a fellow Silverado owner getting it measured. I didn't think that the 26" wheels would even pull those numbers but it's good to know. I'm anxious to know what my RST would do with the stock 18s on it. You got me curious with that CAI.... maybe something I can do in the springtime. Christmas is coming up so the upgrades are on pause right now. Good job on the video and thanks for sharing 👊

[@leamangriffin]

Thanks man!!

[@thegreengamer882]

I wish the HP gain from a CAI would justify the outrageous price of them.

[@hemiboy9860]

CAI is a supporting mod, in my opinion any intake that has a bigger inlet diameter than 4inch is gonna improve flow. The Pmas System for the 5.0 has a 'Velocity Stack' design filter its like dont qoute me is 155mm and theyre putting down 10-15hp no tune

[@sstevocamaro]

@2:42 the Gen II LT1 can be really mean when built right! One of the fastest F bodies in the world has one. It currently runs 7.03 in the 1/4 and it’s a 6spd. Speak for yourself buddy 😉👍

[@dalechambers4787]

You do know dyno with the hood up is allowing cooler air in. You should have had the hood down especially stock..

[@Callmedaddy1]

I’d rather keep my 400$ then have 5 hp.

[@briancheesbro5553]

I won't ever use CAI again. Worst customer service I ever experienced and I had to pay to return the intake and they didn't want to give me a full refund since the box was opened, even though I never even removed any of the items from the box, not even the bubble wrap lol.

[@sstevocamaro]

Also you probably gained more power under the curve. Usually the peak power won’t be as good.

[@darianthompson5975]

Can you tune the touring mode as a gas saver and sports mode as a race mode as in 2 different tunes?

[@stevemt3422]

Why don't you dyno it with the hood closed on stock intake and aftermarket intake? People don't drive with the hood open

[@andysanchez5457]

Did you take your resonators off or leave em after the muffler delete

[@ze_german2921]

You guys should go back to school. Who test Cold Air Intakes with the Hood open? The point of a cold air Intake is to negate engine compartment temperatures while driving.

[@aroth1982]

[@gunprojects5398]

For those saying cold air intakes are a waste of money, you are wrong. For years, and for many cars today, they do help out with power, throttle response and sound. However, factory tunes on late model vehicles, especially the 2019 new body style trucks, are designed so you cannot make power with bolt-ons. 5 HP is a lot for any 2019 engine with an air intake, but I guarantee if the vehicle doesn't get tuned and the same test is done a month later, the vehicle will have learned how to make stock power again. They have torque limitations and will still try to make stock power no matter what is changed about them. The factory ECUs are becoming harder to crack and tune; this is intentional by the manufacturers. They need it this way fort emissions, and don't want the software to be changed.

[@AJ8ernal1]

What do you mean “when the truck becomes unlocked in order to get a tune” at the end? I’m interested in tuning my 19 Silverado as well. I’m new to that game thanks

[@leamangriffin]

The ecm has to be modified to allow access from the tuning software. They call this "unlocking".

[@AJ8ernal1]

Leaman Griffin how long do you think it will take someone to unlock?

[@leamangriffin]

Hp tuners is the only company that does it. Cost about 1300 just for the unlock and its usually a week or two including ahipping.

[@leamangriffin]

The unlock is not the tune though.. it just makes the ecm able to be tuned. You still would have to purchase the tuning software or take the truck to a shop to have them tune it after unlocking it. Most tuning shops will take the ecm out and send it off to be unlocked for you as well.

Pretty disappointed in this product from CAI and their customer service/company. I had worse gas mileage, my shift points were horrible and almost felt like my transmission was slipping at times. I was told by customer service to remove the item after 1200 miles of it trying to, "Learn" the computer and re-install my stock in take. Then after 200 miles re-install the CAI intake. I had to pay my own shipping back to the company for a refund and then wasn't credited a full refund. Awful experience.

[@amt3735]

I bought this intake for my 2016 Silverado 5.3L 6 speed 4x4. Combined with a Diablosport/Diablew 87 octane tune, it went from 15.4mpg stock to 15.9mpg. Stayed there for 3 years until I got new tires. Upgraded to Cooper Discoverer AT3's, filled to 35psi, and it jumped .1mpg. Been sitting at 16.0mpg for a year now. I feel like I have mild power gain, but that's probably because of the tune. I highly recommend this intake. Wish I could dyno my truck. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm getting about 5hp gain. So that's $400 intake, $250 tuner device, $150 professional tune. $800 for an extra .5mpg and 5hp is well worth it. And I can move between factory and custom tune using my device. Can't recommend enough.

" COLD AIR INTAKES " BA HA HA HAA They are a Joke ! stock air Box is more of a cold air intake !

[@RaiJin.335]

On "NEWER" cars from 2013 - 2021 you dont exactly need a CAI. Other than that it Depends on how restricted your cars intake is. You cant say that every CAI is a joke and a waste of money. Also stock air boxes with an aftermarket filter on certain cars will sometimes do nothing for your car or just add more problems to your car. Cars are getting more advanced everyday, once you add somthing like...idk a CAI to your 2021 bmw 3 series the ecu will adjust how the car runs due to the fact that more air is coming into the engine. Next time before you say CAI's are a joke, do some research before you talk plz. Thank you:)
