Expert Answers about Chevrolet Cold Air Intakes


  • Cold Air Intake Power Gains of Cold Air Intake for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 liter V8
  • I recommend a full cold air intake on your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 like the # EP284141-D you'd see gains of around 10-15 horsepower on a dyno. By itself, you'll notice an increase in power, especially when the throttle is fully open. Team up the Jammer intake with other Edge performance products and you'll create a much more efficient system with maximum gains in power, mileage, and efficiency.

  • Cold Air Intake Recommendation for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • Sounds like you are wondering if one of those electric superchargers can be installed in the intake tube of a AirAid MXP Cold Air kit part # AR310-132 for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. To be perfectly honest, don't waste your money on an electric supercharger/intake propeller. They don't work and are just a gimmick. They just don't flow enough CFM to make a difference. At wide open throttle they actually reduce air flow since they can't keep up. They basically end up in the way. A...

  • Can Cold Intakes Be Used with Superchips Programmer Installed on 2012 Ford Mustang with a 5.0 Liter
  • The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Pro Programmer # SU4845 that you referenced is a fit for your 2012 Ford Mustang 5.0 liter and can give the vehicle the vehicle up to 35 horsepower and 40 ft lbs of torque. A cold air intake would work just fine with this kit. Cold air intakes and cat-back exhaust systems work fine as-is with programmers like this.

  • Performance Cold Air Intake for 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT Triton V10
  • When it comes to a cold air intake system for your 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT Triton V10, I have two options for you, Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System with SynthaFlow Oiled Filter, # AR400-226, and Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System with SynthaMax Dry Filter, # AR401-226. The difference between the two is that the oil based filter will have a higher filtration rating because of the oil in the filter and the dry filter will offer less maintenance because you will not have to apply oil...

  • Tuner for 2012 Ford F-150 5.0L with Aftermarket Cold Air Intake and Exhaust
  • Edge has a section in their instructions that states you should not stack performance products and use their tuners so I do not recommend them since you have aftermarket cold air intake and exhaust. I recommend the Flashpaq # SU4845 for your 2012 Ford F-150 5.0L. It will do everything you are looking for and it works well with aftermarket exhaust and cold air intake.

  • Choosing Between Performance Tuner or Cold Air Intake for 2010 Ford F-150
  • A cold air intake isn't required when adding a performance tuner but it will certainly provide additional benefit. If deciding between the two options a tuner will give you the greatest increases in performance when installed by itself. For your 2010 Ford F-150 with the 4.6L engine I recommend the Edge Gas Evolution CTS3 Performance Tuner # EP59YR. This particular tuner will provide increases of up to 18 horsepower and 35 foot pounds of torque. It includes a really nice 5 inch full-color...

  • Does Edge Evolution for 2007 Ford F150 5.4L Lariat work with Cold-Air Intake and Cat-Back
  • Our programmers like the Edge Evolution CTS3 # EP15051 work great with minor bolt-ons like you mentioned of cold air intakes and cat-back exhausts. That's basically as far as you can go though. If you were to install long tube headers or make any other modifications, you would have to look into a custom tuner.

  • Will Edge Evolution CTS3 Programmer Work on 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Cold Air Intake
  • Programmers are designed to work with basic bolt-ons like a cold air intake that you have installed on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 4.3 liter. So the Edge Gas Evolution CTS3 programmer part # EP49YR that you referenced will fit and work well. Edge states that this programmer can give you up to 20 horsepower and 24 ft lbs of torque.

  • Programmer and Cold Air Intake Recommendation for 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 liter V8
  • A programmer like the Edge CTS2 part # EP85450 will be exactly what you want for your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.3-liter engine. This programmer can give you up to 18 horsepower and 27 ft lbs of torque. Another great option would be to also add a cold air intake like the Edge Jammer Cold Air Intake with Dry Air Filter # EP284141-D which is also a confirmed fit for your truck. By allowing the engine to basically inhale easier your power is increased.

  • Will Cold Air Intake Increase Gas Mileage on a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 6.0 Liter Gas Motor
  • Adding cold air intake will help the motor run more efficiently which can equate to better fuel economy. It would take time though to notice the difference. Also, the only cold air intake we have for the 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 is for the 6.6 liter diesel. Part # AR883-314 is designed for a 2011 - 2015 Can-Am Commander. Using a tuner such as # SU5845 will optimize functions for various driving conditions, including towing, and that will also help with gas mileage no matter which mode...

  • Tuner that Works with Aftermarket Cold Air Intake and Exhaust on a 2010 Ford F-150 4.6L
  • For a programmer that is going to help with towing and that will work with cold air intake and exhaust upgrades I recommend the Flashpaq # SU4845. It has several tune options including 2 different tow options. The Edge programmers have a note in their instructions mentioning not to stack performance products like intake and exhaust when using the tuner so I do not recommend any of them for your 2010 Ford F-150.

  • Cold Air Intake Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Ridgeline
  • If you drive your 2008 Honda Ridgeline mostly on paved roads, I would recommend going with the Airaid Cold Air Intake System with Oil-Based Filter, # AR530-202. With the oil-type filter, it is recommended to clean and re-oil every 25,000 to 30,000 miles. Oiled filters allow for the greatest amount of airflow. If you drive on paved and semi-dusty roads, then I recommend going with the Airaid Cold Air Intake System with Dry Filter, # AR531-202. The dry filter has the same maintenance schedule...

  • Recommended Cold Air Intake For 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
  • The Airaid Jr. Upgrade Kit for Factory Cold Air Intake - SynthaMax Dry Filter, # AR201-711, is not a direct fit for your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with 6.2 L V8. It has provisions for one crank case breather on one of the valve covers and not 2 like you see on the 2017 model, one on each side. However, if you add another breather tube, you can make this system work. This will upgrade your factory intake while maintaining the air box and location but replacing the intake tube and air filter....

  • Will a Cold Air Intake System and an Exhaust System Improve Fuel Economy on a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L
  • A cold air intake like the Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System, part # AR303-117, is a benefit to the engine because cold air is more dense and therefore is more readily combustible. It will also optimize airflow allowing the engine to breathe easier. A performance exhaust like the MagnaFlow Exhaust System, # MF15611, for club cab models with 63 inch bed or # MF15739 for quad cab models with a 63 inch bed, will also optimize airflow by reducing the back pressure. Both products will allow...

  • What Kind of Gains Would Edge Evolution CTS2 EP85450 Tuner Provide 2001 GMC Sierra
  • The Edge Evolution CTS2 tuner # EP85450, in conjunction with a cold air intake system would provide a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque in your 2001 GMC Sierra. This will result in the engine pulling you up to speed more quickly. For best results, I would recommend using the premium power level which requires 91 octane fuel. In the Extreme setting, the Evolution CTS2 can provide increases up to 15 hp and 15 foot/lbs of torque. The cold air intake can add up to an additional...

  • Choosing Programmer or Gauge Monitor with Cold Air Intake on 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel
  • A cold air intake is a passive system, and wouldn't really be dependent on any input from a programmer. Either the Insight or the Evolution would work well with the Edge Jammer CAI. You'll get modest HP gains by adding the CAI, but the Evolution # EP85301 (approved for use in CA) can provide an increase of up to 95 Horsepower which will provide a noticeable increase in power and efficiency.. The fundamental answer to your question will really depend on your desired outcome. If you decide...

  • Cold Air Intake Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Silverado That Increases Sound of Engine
  • The MagnaFlow exhaust tip part # MF35212 that you referenced is not going to make the exhaust any louder on your 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500. It is basically an appearance modification. Since you don't way to change your exhaust setup another option would be a cold air intake like the Airaid CAD part # AR200-186. This removes the baffles or "mufflers" on the intake side of the motor that work to keep the sound of the engine down. It also will free up some extra horsepower as well.
