K&N For The New Cruze

Put a cold air intake set-up in my new 2014 Chevy Cruze 1.4L Turbo. P/N 69-4521.

[@PaulsPlace]

Sweet! Looks and sounds good! And I like what you did with the chevy badge!

[@ROFLCOPTER-AK-Commando]

Aftermarket parts or modifications: This aspect of warranty coverage has a great deal of gray area. Although many dealers would have you think otherwise, simply having an aftermarket part or modifying your vehicle cannot void your warranty. Some dealerships may say, for example, that just because you have a performance part such as a cold air intake on the car that the whole vehicle warranty is void, says Loren Wong, a car enthusiast and a former warranty administrator for BMW and Acura. "That's not true," he says. The saving grace for consumers is the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975. The act states that a dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before it can deny warranty coverage. However, if the reason for a parts failure is unclear, a dealer will usually charge you to diagnose the vehicle. If the aftermarket part was not properly installed or a modification led to a component failure, it is within the dealer's right to void the warranty for that part, and you will have to pay for the repairs out of pocket. If the aftermarket parts had nothing to do with the repairs in question, you will be refunded the fee for the diagnosis.

[@lowslo9287]

K&N meets standards and or exceeds them a lot of vehicles come factory with a K&N panel filter installed never heard of a K&N intake voiding warranties in my life

[@jamesj.litteriojr.433]

Exactly on point!!! Magnuson Moss Warranty Act...The majority of people don't know about it. This is what stops them from modifying any car or truck. But you are protected by a Federal Law. Everyone should read about this or look into it if you are worried about your warranty being voided! And Kudos to Mark Siemens for pointing this out!!! Thank You for that! ;)

Won’t make much of a difference without maf tuning, however it will make a huge difference in the sound. Great video!👍🏼

[@WeaponBD]

Picking one of these up this week for my 13 LTZ, smart idea with the filter condom. I have a Cobalt SS and the intake goes down into the front fender as well the factory filter went down that low as well. I was terrified about water. Better safe than sorry. Good post man Install looks pretty simple

[@CallofdutyMW1000]

I love the wind of the turbo.

[@pearsonba350]

+Rage1422 It does sound pretty cool...

[@ryanhall9295]

​@@pearsonba350 did it give you any check engine lights?

[@ryanpatterson5269]

Had same intake on mine and sounded great

[@GeorgeFarahGNR]

I own the same car and noticed when the engine hit 1,000 miles, the cars throttle response was better and the car felt like it could "go" and not be very slow with the trans but mine is an auto and yours is a standard so it could make a difference there to!

[@Mike.Macmyazka]

Time for a tune...I recommend BNR's tuning service. EFI Live handheld and a custom tune for your car. A little pricey, but you'll be looking at over 170whp and over 200wtq. And of course, if you can keep your foot off the accelerator, you can still maintain or possibly improve fuel economy as well.

[@garibayja123]

great video man ! i was wondering if u installed the support bracket that fits on to the engine mount bolt ?

[@pearsonba350]

Cool! Mine is coming up on 70k later this year, been a good car for me...

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

I am picking up my 2014 rs cruze in a few days, I really want to hear the turbo and it seems without a bov the k&n Is the best bet. I seen in previous comments that your dealership is ok with it. Has anything changed ? And how is the car running as of now

[@overclockedamd123]

are you running 91 octane through it? GM did a actual notice that they recommend 91 octane for the engine. I get a nice little mpg increase running it. Then blending in a bit of torco accelerator bringing it to around 95...man does the little turbo love it. The ECU has to recalibrate when I run the torco its pretty fun.

[@obeyvolcom]

How did it effect your mpg I'm thinking about getting one too.

[@chrisle360bludgeon]

a good informative video and a thorough and complete review. Thanks. it would have been cool if you did a separate shot with the camera on a close-up of the exhaust tips.

[@pearsonba350]

The exhaust didn't change at all, since all the pipes are the same. I am planning to put on a cat-back exhaust soon, then we'll do a before and after comparison.

[@ryanhall9295]

​@@pearsonba350 did it pop up any check engine lights for it?

[@ScoobyBaseball]

Is that the leak you were talking about in your driving vlog the other day? Hope you don't get sick bud.

I know right! That laugh was just genuine!!! Too funny!!!

[@dickgozinya7169]

Great video, Sound like the kid was guessing what plane it was try Flightradar24 Amazing app for being by airports

[@Ghosty0909]

Hi, I'm think of getting the cruze, just wanna ask is there any problem like lost power n high fuel Consumption?

[@isaiahv9933]

What I don’t understand is that the stock tubing on the Cruze is a rubber hose and it goes directly to the housing of the turbo but on the sonic 1.4 t has the same engine the turbos location is on the same area but has some hard plastic tube around it then finished off with the rubber tubing my concern is wouldn’t the rubber melt on the turbo housing ? Why did the manufacturer not look into this or is it something different but I’ve definitely noticed these two things in my research

[@TheStewball]

Please excuse my "newbie" question. I was just wondering if you actually installed a blow off valve or it actually sounds like that stock + K&N intake. Great vid BTW.

[@colinjbell8505]

Hi bud don't know if you got an answer to this and you likely will know this by now but it's the noise of the air recirculation coming from the original factory dump valve.

[@nickmcd-ck6vk]

I work at an O'Reilly dealership in service. I see this all the time on camaro's corvette's and the cruze k&n filters are great for older cars however for new cars they are not the filters are oil soaked and that causes the air flow sensor to go bad and the map sensor to foul out no filter will void your warranty you just have to pay out of pocket for the damage the filter caused I would recommend k&n piping with a different filter an you'll be fine

[@jamesk142]

Nick McDaniel no K&N air filter will void your warranty truth be told the newer model camaro's and corvettes COME with K&N air filters already installed on them. How bout you dont lead people on to thinking you know what you're talking about because you work at a parts store. you do realize there are O2 or what you like to call airflow sensors in your exhaust and your engine along with the filter. Learn something.

[@melissa-ek9zl]

Yeah, shocked to see that they are using an oiled cotton filter media for this -- better off buying the AEM part, it's nearly identical except it uses an oil free filter media. Chevrolet Performance also makes a pretty cool intake for these cars, but it's a bit overpriced imo

[@mora850]

HUNTER! lol i dont know him but represent lol

[@luisojeda8933]

where did you get the pre filter? do you have a part number?...

[@1bojanbojan]

Thanks for the video 10/10 Could i ask you. If u could make 0-60 pull recording the speedo would like to see how it accelerates Thank you

[@pearsonba350]

I'll do one soon!

[@70carlton]

you can hear the waste gate more but good luck with any hp and mpg improvements

[@pearsonba350]

I didn't expect to see any real power gains with just the intake, but I've got an exhaust for it. Just waiting for the first oil change before putting that piece on... That should get me a little more grunt.

[@douglasbaxter3346]

70carlton not the waist gate it’s the blow off valve factory they Plumb it back to the intake pipe removing the air box that muffles the sound now let’s you hire the blow off valve and there is gains wen turbocharged,hopefully the last 5 years you have learnt actual facts not just bullshit

[@sirfrankmacias4373]

Hello fellow "Cruzer's' i just picked up a 2015 Cruze LTZ 1.4L w/ RS Package and wanted to know if they make k&n intakes for this model?

[@headshotzonly1121]

7:40 lookin like Seth Rogan💀

[@elmomz]

if you optimize your intake, don´t forget to do it to your exhaust, too! ;-)

[@douglasbaxter3346]

Elmar Sperber turbos the less restrictions in and out of the turbo the more power on less boost can be made

[@matthewgoff8804]

Always work your way back to front on a turbo. IMO. They only put a one and a half inch exhaust on this turbo I upgraded mine to a two and a half with a pass-through cat I have a lot better throttle response with a little more horsepower and torque.

[@caylebdesjardins8002]

[@robertholsopple9451]

It made mine slower, I swear. I have a 15 RS ltz 1.4 turbo. I am taking it off for good. Gas mileage went down as well. Good thing it was used and only $100.

[@williamgray8664]

Thats all thats dont to this is the cold air? I'm thinking of grabbing one.

[@robertoocampo2055]

how much was it for the intake

[@JaseRider]

So what did you have to do to the cruze computer, did it self calibrate and accept the new intake? Have you had any problems with the computer not liking the intake to this day? Did you order from K&N directly?

[@pearsonba350]

No computer tuning required for this sort of install, just bolt it on and go. The computer will 'learn' as you drive it after installing. I bought this from Summit Racing, they have fast shipping and reasonable prices.

[@okdude3482]

What was the cost for the filter and all

[@GadGetHackss]

The stock one is good enough

[@4406bbldb]

It's a 10.00 tube with 100.00 profit or close.

[@Alexander-ip1vm]

I have a couple questions if you're not busy, what did you do with the hose connecting to the original intake? It's small and you pop it off kind of under the intake, and my mpg went down, after resetting and all, and it also never shifts on its own and idles bad.. (auto)

[@elmomz]

Alexander Santana the hose is a drain tube for the condensated air which is only needed if a airbox is used. when an K&N Airfilter (open) is installed you don´t need to reinstall the drain tube... if an oiled filter is used, the maf and even the mpg get damaged / or the sensor reports faulty data. -> just wash the filter out or use an oil-free Filter, after 100-200 miles, the ecu will work fine with the new filter!

[@ryanhall9295]

Any check engine lights for it?

I have a 2014 Cruze ECO with the 1.4 Liter Turbo. Did you address that possible air leak that you heard? I put an aftermarket K&N on my jeep and it made the same noise so I think it just comes with the K&N however I could have been wrong. After a few months with the aftermarket K&N, how is performance now that the computer is up to date and adjusted?

Hi Cruze-fans! I have a difficult question about this k&n kit. Does it work for the diesel model as well? I got 2012 Cruze 2.0L turbo diesel and I am wondering if that could be an option for the diesel or if it even makes sense for a diesel. I am grateful for any response!

Hey, I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze 2.0 diesel as well. this is the part number I found K&N 69-4531TTK Idk if there is any other ones out there and, I have not tried this part. but any improvement in air flow is always good for diesel engines.

take the video in with you to get the leak fixed showing that it was like that before you touched the intake,... and do you ever actually drive at 5000 rpm? I have the ecoboost f150 and do 90%of my driving at under 2000 rpm

[@ahmedal-junaibi7098]

lol , I got the same damn problem , can I reprogram the car's performance to a higher rpm?

[@pearsonba350]

The oil leak was just some residual oil from assembly, no problems at all. At 65 MPH, I turn about 2200 RPM. But I'm getting 40 MPG with the car at that speed, too...

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

I know I was blowing up your comments for a bit but I've been noticing now that it's getting hotter out that the car runs a bit different, kind of lagging in some ways don't know if it's because the intake is getting to hot or what, have you noticed anything on hotter days ? Also have you had issues with heavy rain or for that matter car washes?

[@pearsonba350]

Aaron Caniglia I have noticed on warmer days the car runs a bit different. Cooler air is more dense, which an engine really likes. Warmer air has more humidity in it, which can affect a motor's performance. My mileage drops a little on warmer days, too. Mine seems to be happiest when it's about 55 outside. And I've had no issues at all with rain, and I always hand wash my cars, and no issues there, either.

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

Okay, thanks for the help. I live in Illinois so may through August is hot and humid so I may just swap it out for those months. The turbo loves the winter lol

[@pearsonba350]

Aaron Caniglia Honestly, I would just leave it in. I noticed the lag issue even without the cold air intake on warmer days. I think the main issue is that the engine is small, and it notices the changes in the climate more. Just drive it and enjoy it. Do all the regular maintenance, and you'll probably get many years out of it. I'm shooting for 20 years, or 200,000 miles out of mine before I replace it...

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

pearsonba350 thank you for the input. Keep up the videos, I enjoy then very much. And honestly any updates on your cruze would be a great help and I can do the same !

[@Elite.Hunting]

hi im a mechanic and also drive a WRX an live in canada, yes cooler air is more dense..in the cold winters here you tend to over boost and on a humid hot day I do notice it runs different

[@TFro3]

Did you notice any increase in boost? I also have a 2014 and going to install a boost gauge to get a read of the before and after boost spools. On a scale 1-10, how much louder did the stock BOV get? Thanks!

[@pearsonba350]

I didn't really notice any more noise, but the throttle response did go up a little.

[@mitym64]

they give you warranty grief for the k & n upgrade?

[@pearsonba350]

***** The dealer knows all about this install, and they have no issues at all with it. I was only told to keep an eye on the mass airflow sensor, as oiled filters sometimes come oiled a bit heavy, and that can mess up the sensor. So far, no issues at all, with over 5,000 miles on the car...

Just the cold air system. I have since added a Flowmaster exhaust, as well.

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

pearsonba350 have you had any issues since putting the intake on and how many miles have you had it on ?

[@pearsonba350]

Aaron Caniglia No issues what so ever. I put the intake on with I think less than 1000 miles on the car, I'm now almost at 12,000. Runs great. If you do an oiled filter, check your mass air flow sensor for oil accumulation, and clean it if you find any. The oil will mess up the sensor. I checked mine after install, and didn't find any issues. K&N tends to over oil the new filters...

[@aaroncaniglia8089]

Okay thanks for the input ! I'm worried about my dealer ship having a problem with it, but I heard you can contact chevy directly and have them talk it out with the dealer ship. I know this may be a lot to ask but if you could post if you ever have an issue with it that would be a lot of help because I think I'm going to wait untill my scheduled maintenance is up to try and put one on

[@pearsonba350]

Aaron Caniglia Waiting would probably be the smart thing to do- but no one ever accused me of being smart! I talked to the service dept. when I bought mine, they said they didn't have any issues as long as I did it right, and checked for excess oil from the filter.

[@hypeybeast8365]

Natas N the clicking noise is the purge valve. The dealer said it was normal but that's not the truth. I bought a new one for 25 bucks and replaced it. Ticking sound is gone now. I would recommend replacing it.

The part is super easy to replace and as soon as I replaced it the ticking sound never came back. Unfortunately it won't display a code unless it fully goes out. The dealer tried telling me it was normal. Even if it was normal I can't stand when my car makes unusual sounds so I replaced it anyway. Do you know where the purge valve is located?

[@detmer87]

Hot air intake = loosing horsepower

[@TTGTO288]

What a colossal waste of money and i doubt you'll get the horse or torque increase they claim. Truth: if the factory intake is restrictive, it will allow more breathing, but in this day and age, the intake systems are adequate... you'd be better off just putting in a KNN insert filter in the stock air box. Tune it, you'll gain the most, but then have to rebuilt it when it destroys the junk 1.4L .... the computer doesn't necessarily "learn" that you put a cold air on it. It adapts, but doesn't know why ... a tune actually corrects it.

[@jimdavidson5208]

Make sure you leave that crappy K&N filter when you take it to the dealer. They will void your warranty in a flash. Adding this filter only lets more dirt into the engine. If you can see through the filter like this one, what would you expect? The car isn't going to wheelie or get any more MPG. Only things the K&N does is allow more dirt into the engine and lighten your wallet.

Gave me a 1.6 MPG increase on my 2013 1.4T Cruze and got a noticeable increase in power and a nice turbo sound from installing mine. and my Dealer 100% verified it will not void my warranty at all. I personally talked to the corporate warranty expert. Maybe research a bit before you tell people stuff you dont know.

overclockedamd123 Yes and no. My dad is actually the central warranty manager for the central united states and it will only void your warranty if they can prove the filter caused the damage which he has done once that I'm aware of. He told me it was something about it not letting enough air flow so I'm sure the guy left it on forever and just never cleaned it or replaced the filter. I'm probably gonna get one of these for my 2014 cruze eco too though.

@Shawn Crabtree Hi, did you fit this filter on your 1.8 eco? How did it work for you? I am also driving a 1.8 eco. Thanks

[@obeyvolcom]

How did it effect your mpg I'm thinking about getting one too.

I put this on when the car was only a few weeks old, so I never really got a good baseline on my mileage. But I recently did a 300 mile run on the freeway, and averaged 45 MPG for the trip. The window sticker says she's supposed to give me 38 on the highway...
