It's a GM part sold to work on that model car. Presumably, you could get it installed by the dealer.

*shrug* it says under gm warranty. I was going to trash the warranty with an aem intake and bnr tune anyway, so this seems like a safer bet. It's a gm manufacturer part and tune and warranty

Anyone has a link to this part? Sounds interesting...

I did a search, found this

https://www.shopchevyparts.com/perf...rformance-air-intake/84356430-p-92299372.html

The cost includes a reprogram also, sounds interesting.

What is not funny is that there's nothing showing any performance increase. How can they advertise a Performance Air Intake Upgrade but NOT state how much performance increase you'll get is just complete nonsense. To me, this is just candy stuff and worth nothing at all except for the fact that it looks cool and all. Maybe it adds 1/2 HP :sleep006:

Like someone putting a rear spoiler on a Malibu...

Don't remember where i heard it from. But it seems logical.

Air hates to bend. And having an air filter in an enclosed case. Makes the air bend.

As for cold air. I'm not seeing anything there to make cold air. So how would that work?

Until someone with proven facts (why does G.M. doesn't publish anything) what the "performance" increase is, it will remain just for cosmetic. If there would be a 5HP gain, G.M. would be proud to announce it.

The stock airbox has a very small inlet and a small filter.
This comes with a bigger airbox, bigger inlet, bigger filter, and bigger tubing and of course a retune.

I'd guess 10 to 20hp, but who knows.
I will get it dyno tested to let those curious have a realistic idea.

Not going to bother with a stock dyno. I'm sure that info is out there already

Sure looks pretty though. But it is an enclosed design with a (probably) less efficient filter. You could be ending up degrading the system and re-program it slightly more aggressive so that you don't notice it. Gotta wait for some actual reviews.

Something is just wrong with Chevrolet "performance" parts advertisement. About their "performance" exhaust system, they claim that this will boost the HP by 10...up to 148HP but anywhere you look, it states that the HP rating is at 153HP. Simple math. 153+10=163HP. But not for G.M. brains. If we are to believe their nonsense, it means that our Cruze only put out 138HP before the exhaust upgrade. I still don't understand why no one has noticed this. I mentioned this a while ago but it never really caught anyone attention. If it was just a typo, it's been there for quite a long time now. https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/cruze/exhaust

Like I said before, if there was a true performance gain, G.M. would post it pronto. In this case, they didn't so until proven otherwise, this is just a good looking mod. $400 for no performance gain? But G.M. still call this a performance upgrade lol. No thanks.

Being a cold air intake, it's more for sound - not many gains to be had anyway, given the stock setups these days are pretty well optimized anyway.

That said, I'm glad to see it fits both the 1.4T and the 1.6TD.

Like I said... I'll take the plunge for the **** of it. I'll post results whenever I get it and it's installed. Really though, it's a plastic/rubber design so less likely to heatsoak. I'm not here to argue anything , but I will report with whatever facts I come across.

But to be clear I've used similar designs on 400+hp cars. The main restriction is the inlet (which this corrects). I otherwise don't see the intake being a place to gain power. The stock unit should be sufficient. I don't see much gain regardless of what intake you use, so comparison to the aem,or k&n is subjective. The inlet draws air from the grill so there will be cool air with a positive pressure. I see there being more gain from a billet compressor wheel, and a turbo back at least 2.5" or more.

I'm glad to see that someone has ordered this intake. I've been fighting the urge to order it over the one of the aftermarket intakes until I read a review on it or see a video of it on a car. Definitely let us know and maybe post a video of how well it brings out the overall induction sound.
