Follow-up: just installed mine an hour ago. This video was a big help but a few caveats. 1) Getting parts pre-assembled before disconnecting battery/stock intake a much more logical order. 2) Ratcheting driver with T and hex bits much better/quicker than old school options. 3) This is more for K&N: labeled parts (bags) would be much easier than process of elimination from cross-referencing blown-up diagram vs quantity of parts.
Thanks. Very helpfull. Just installed on my new used 18 2LT. Dont notice much of a difference but have had these on a few other vehicles I have owned and didn’t notice much. Gotta get her on the road I guess and check. Plastic fittings threads don’t go all the way in as I didn’t want to break the fittings. Anybody have an issue with those. Note- after I took it on the road it sounds much better. Got on it and sounds much better. Don’t just start it up and rev the engine to test. Take it in the road.
Great video, waiting on my '23 Camaro 3LT which should be early this next week. (Traded in my '19 Blazer Premier for it but caveat in trade-in is that I wanted blacked out which they didn't have at dealer. Closest one being across the mountains here in WA... in December.)
It's possible that an aluminum intake tube could absorb more heat from the engine bay compared to a plastic design, potentially leading to slightly higher intake air temperatures. However, the impact of this difference on overall engine performance and air intake temperature would likely be minimal for several reasons: 1. **Heat Shielding**: Many aftermarket cold air intake systems, including those from K&N, incorporate heat shields or insulating materials to help minimize heat transfer from the engine bay to the intake air. These shields can help maintain cooler intake air temperatures despite the presence of an aluminum intake tube. 2. **Placement**: Cold air intakes are typically designed to draw air from outside the engine bay, where ambient temperatures are lower. By positioning the intake filter away from heat sources and closer to cooler outside air, the intake system can mitigate the effects of heat absorption by the intake tube. 3. **Airflow Dynamics**: The increased airflow provided by a cold air intake can help offset any minor temperature increases caused by heat absorption from the intake tube. Cooler, denser air entering the engine can improve combustion efficiency and performance, counteracting the potential effects of slightly higher intake air temperatures. Overall, while the material of the intake tube can influence heat absorption to some extent, the design features and placement of the intake system are more significant factors in determining intake air temperature and engine performance.
Stainless steel babahahaahahah keep paying for a “name” congrats you got finessed because at the end of the day when the apocalypse hits you try and get rid of your watch and they’re gonnna well…. All it’s got is stainless steel… no gold bahahahahah
Shop This K&N Series 69 Typhoon Cold Air Intake ! : muscle.am/3s8W9Yn

Hot air intake with a metal pipe. People get plastic or poly tubes.

I heard the "wall" thingie doesn't keep hot air out. Kind of a deal breaker, if true, here in Dubai.
Will it work for a 2016 2.0 4 cylinder
I have a check engine after instalation, how can I fix ?
You need to Dyno tune it, same thing happened to me
Hey, This would work on a 2022 6Cyl too right?
This specific intake would only fit V8 models. -Zach
Yes it does
I just installed mine on my 2023 3.6l v6 camaro rs

You buy gold car parts? -Zach
Get help bro
@@19deltascout43 oh I have. Your little sister is helping me reallllll good
What?
