2020 2021 Kia Telluride K&N Cold Air Intake Install and Thoughts also works on the Hyundai Palisade

[@TonyTheTechnician]

So I have had this on for more than 2 months now and have had no issues with the check engine light or dtc's.

[@raphaelmera3367]

have you noticed any changes to fuel consumption? worth doing power wise?

[@JustinPast]

Any update on a drive-by video? Would love to hear how it sounds from the drivers seat too. Thanks!!

[@williamwebb4055]

Can you post a link to the fittings you used?

[@richardavila9630]

@TonyTheTechnician What tire and wheel set up do you have? Your telluride looks very nice

[@dirtbikeguitardude11]

Drive by vid please I’ve been waiting to order one for my telluride

[@davidwalle5025]

good video. The factory jeep patriot intake is similar except for the longer down turned tube to the throttle body.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you. Very nice.

[@ryanwilliams8482]

Just blessed me with this video Thank you🤘🏼

[@TonyTheTechnician]

👍👍👍

[@ryanwilliams8482]

Hey I have a question I just installed mine, did a quick start and it smoked a little I don’t think that is normal lol, is it?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Nothing you did with the intake should have caused anything to smoke.

[@ryanwilliams8482]

It works just fine, probably some oil on the filter like mentioned elsewhere lol

[@dondie012]

I am almost pretty sure this can fit the 3.3L V6 Sorento, the engine bay looks exactly the same

[@nosliwttam77]

Good advice to avoid the ebay specials. I had a mitsubishi eclipse come in several years ago with a metal intake and cone filter. It was fairly heavy and was not supported. It broke the intake manifold where the throttle body bolts on. The intake manifold was a discontinued part. Ouch.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks. Oh dang. That's unfortunate

[@kevinschalk8030]

I have both on my 2020 and they did not trip the check engine light

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 sounds good bro, cons n pros, i like that u mention what eventually breaks, i think KN new guys just doesnt know whats best for long term

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you. And ya I try to save people from a headache later on. And ya I don't think they really care what happens later. Just as long as it works and looks good out of the box lol

[@MrSamadolfo]

@@TonyTheTechnician 👍 FACTS

[@carlosburgos8763]

Would like to know where to get fittings from as well thanks

[@Crackhouse1580]

Like William, I would like a better description of the fittings you went with. Aluminum, but where did you get them? Summit? Big box store?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I can't remember the fittings anymore that was awhile ago. I went to a speed shop that specializes in like AN Fittings and other auto fasteners. It's not a chain store it was family owned.

[@karlpeters749]

So where do you get the plastic parts on the intake tube, I would like to replace them before I install mine please sir

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I had to go to a performance shop for the fittings

[@joecollazo9450]

I too have a Borla exhaust and was considering this but… responsiveness and deeper tunes from my Telly? Take my money!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Haha ya it has been doing good so far. Been almost a month

[@joecollazo9450]

@@TonyTheTechnician glad to hear! Thanks for the great vid brother!

[@julioabate]

Drive video inside cabin during acceleration must be added ;)

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I'll have one coming soon 👍

[@kesudtrebor2741]

How about fuel efficiency? With just normal driving, did it increase or decrease mpg? With applying load/harder throttle, does it sound better in the cabin?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Fuel efficiency may have increased slightly but shortly after this I installed all terrain tires and a roof rack so that didn't help with gas mileage. And as far as sound in the cabin I can't say either bc of the borla exhaust and all terrains.

[@StickFigure426]

Tony, I’m new to your channel but would like to see if you could do a quick update video on this. I would be interested to see if you have received better MPG. I’m not to concerned about HP being it’s a heavy vehicle and more designed for luxury. Thanks in advance!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Yes indeed I'll be check it over the next week. I know with the new exhaust I have been getting .7 to 1.2 mpg better on the highway. I'll see if this helps as well

[@StickFigure426]

@@TonyTheTechnician Very cool. I look forward to the next video and more related to the Tellurides. Take care sir

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@StickFigure426 thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed

[@Xatokuom]

@@TonyTheTechnician Did you see an additional benefit from the cold air intake? Thanks!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@Xatokuom I want to say I was getting about 1.6 to 2 mpg better on the highway with both but then I put offroad tires and a roof rack on it so it's hard to verify that now lol

[@HWP_Viking_Wolf73]

cool tony nice video brother

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you I appreciate it 👍

[@apark6701]

Question, I was thinking about installing a cold air intake on my 2021 Kia Sorento ( non-turbo) again it's not a turbo. I can't find one that is compatible for the original 2.5 engine GDI.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Your best bet is to just run a better quality filter. If they don't have one that's engineered to actually work then I wouldn't waste money. A good amount of time has went into the intake and should be getting the freshest air possible

[@3sons66]

Some interior sound clips before and after would have made this a solid review. Funny, your Summitracing link says "will not fit your 2021 Telluride" ...weird.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Ya I plan on doing another video for interior sound and drive by. Even though many have already been released. Lol ya I think Summit needs to update the vehicle info

[@shoaibusmanmirza5865]

Hi, i notice you install off road tyres, please let me know the size of the tyres and brand. thanks

[@MikeArsenault-z5s]

Do they have tune for 2021 palisade

[@kennethharrison1233]

Does it void warranty?

[@dachta1]

I have the same question

[@TonyTheTechnician]

No not unless it is the direct result of an issue that jaapens to your vehicle. I have had mine on for over a year with no issues. They would have to prove that what happened to your vehicle was caused by the aftermarket product

[@ayethetiense]

Thanks for doing the video but…did you…just…basically remove rubber tubing, a box, and flat filter and replace it with metal tubing, a box, and a conical filter in the same location?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Yes indeed. The new filter is still getting air from the same spot the original was bc that is the best way to do so. Here we replaced the filter with one that flows a little better and piping that is smoother and does not have the baffling like the stock. So it's getting air from the same place Bit can now flow a little faster and smoother.

[@pickingpanda1134]

Can you do a video on how to change the rear brakes. I never changed rear brakes that had the electric emergency brake

[@lowtonezf104]

You need a scan too that has the parking brake release function

[@julianfiol8092]

Will this fit a 2020 Kia Sorento since they look the same mine is a 3.3

[@TittyBoiiMoon]

I have the same and I’m thinking the same thing! Exact same engine , I’m going to buy it anyways and slap it on

[@espinosaroberto9148]

​@@TittyBoiiMoonit worked for you kia?

[@craigwarman88]

Nice video. I believe there are a bunch of states you can't use it in.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you and ya in some states they are but it's not really something they look for and most times they will never know you have it lol 👍

[@timcarter8664]

Only state it's not legal is California.

[@TheEfruge508]

Have you noticed any difference with the borla and cold air intake?

[@TheEfruge508]

I added all terrains, 2 inch lift and roof rack. Trying to regain loss mpg and hp if that’s even possible

[@alexm458]

Tony-So it's been 3 years since you've dropped this video. Would you still recommend the K&N? I just installed the Borla exhaust on my 24 Telluride and thinking about installing the K&N CAI. Thanks in advance.

[@이쁘죠-v7t]

I have 2024 telluride and installed k&n cold air intake a week ago. I tested on a mountain road where i usually go for a ride. I feel little more power bcz when i go up hill, the transmission should change to kower gear but this time it did not. However, little bit noisy even from inside. Also, 2mpg got increased

[@juggernaut8647]

Any horsepower increase?

[@a.r5365]

Hello. I just bought this cold air intake clicking on the link in your description. Where did you bought the two fittings? Link please

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I got them from a local store in town. They are earl fittings. You may want to call some local shops around you. They are hard to find online

[@a.r5365]

Thank you for replying. I live in NYC. Do you think that I can find it in AutoZone, Pep Boyz, O’Reilly ? And the name is Earl Fittings right ?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

@@a.r5365 I would check more with performance shops. Or check the earls website possibly. Earl is the brand

[@joecollazo9450]

Does anyone know where I can find the fittings online? All I can find is the 3/8 hose barbs but it’s been impossible finding the 5/8 even searching online race shops

[@TonyTheTechnician]

That's exactly why I switched to these bc the plastic fittings they include are extremely hard to find. So if one breaks. Then your basically out of luck. I had to go to a local race shop and have them put something together for me using earl brand fittings. Now it's not necessary. I just didn't want to deal with issues in the future

[@joecollazo9450]

@@TonyTheTechnician I live in NYC and race shops are far from me and with 2 babies at home finding time to drive out to one is a problem. I’ve had problems with plastic fittings in the past so I’m holding off on installing until I can find the 5/8 hose fitting.

[@xkal636]

Does the borla exhaust also work on the palisade?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I don't believe so. None of the sites I looked at had palisade as a fitment option unfortunately

[@xkal636]

@@TonyTheTechnician Just took a look under my palisade and looked up both the axle back of the telluride and palisade parts and it looks almost identical. hhhhmmm...

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I would say it's worth a shot at trying it but it is expensive and would be unfortunate if it didn't fit. You may be better off just unbolting yours buying a borla mufler and having the pipe and tips welded on

[@mumrah07]

Can you post links to where you bought the Earl fittings? Thanks in advance!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

I actually got mine at a local race shop but the fitting I'm sure can be found online as well. Here is the sizes. The smaller one is 1/4 NPT to 3/8 hose barb. The larger is 1/4 NPT to 5/8 hose barb

[@ptzish]

The K&N website tests for and guarantees almost 13 hp and 24 pf of torque from this installation.
