2017 cruze oem cold air ordered..

Man that thing is baaaaad.

From what I can tell, you reuse the bottom half of the stock airbox and stock clamps. It is much bigger than stock, with a smallish extra inlet that pulls extra cool air in.

Keep us posted, thanks. :biggrin:

Noice :wub:
Seems worth the premium over the AEM, especially if you consider the flashing and warranty. Let's see what this thing can do.

I purchased a GMPP intake for my '17 Camaro ... same type of deal, it comes with a factory GM warranty and a computer re-program by the dealership so the car runs without issues from the CAI. I love my intake, and from looking at it, know exactly which company manufactured it (because it wasn't GM) and it's one of the CAI replacements I was considering anyway. I may still get the car tuned further, but will wait for that until after I get a whipple!

So the official website does not mention anything about programming. Oddly it is listed under accessories not Chevrolet Performance.
Same thing happened for the exhaust, where they flip-flopped that info out and back however they like. See here:

Also wondering, if you install both with re-programming... what is the result?

I was thinking about getting a K&N SRI for my gen2 2016 cruze. Would it be worth considering the GM part? Or would the K&N really be worth the $280?

I guess it depends on what "worth it" means to you. Other than sound and looks, I'm not sure you get anything out of either one. I am interested in the GM one, but not sure it's "worth it" to me.

Well I mean I've never modded a car in terms of engine stuff, just cosmetics. That's why I leaning towards this cause I wanted to try it.

@ Regalyisp, I'm just wondering if you ever installed this or not and if positive, what is your conclusion, thanks.

No, I had to fix up a car for my girl. I've been working on it for 3 frigging weeks. (Don't buy a used audi) I'm getting my car back this weekend and I'll plan the install

Well, I just installed the intake. I'm going to baby it over to the dealer to get the retune done and an oil change.

One comment I have already is that the fitment of the parts is crude. The pcv hose that pushes into the duct tube doesn't want to go in right. The duct tube sits where it nearly rubs against a bolt, and the front inlet doesn't line up right with the front, and vibrates against the piece that holds the hood prop. It only uses one screw to hold the maf/filter housing, and relies on the plastic cover to hold it all in place.

Well in conclusion the quality is maybe 4/5, and the dealer can only program it if it's 2018-2019. The website improperly labeled it for a 2017. Gm won't do the program on the 2017.

:hellno: Why not the 16's or 17's, it's the same car? Wow!

I know. I was kind of blindsided by that. Not sure what I want to do now. Probably can't return it, and I'm not sure if I want to void warranty with a custom tune. I wonder if I leave it on if it'll hurt anything. I didn't get any check engine lights.

Sure sounds like it is their problem then...

Thanks for the reply but what a bummer.

Since you didn't mention this, I have to ask...did you see any difference in sound?

If I were you, I'd return this asap since it is false advertisement....just like their pseudo "performance exhaust" where they claim that it will increase hp by 10 to 148 lol...but my 2018 is advertised as making 153hp without the performance exhaust. Who's responsible for such all these shady and inaccurate data?

Well as far as their hp claims, they may be referring to actual wheel hp. I believe the 153hp is at the crank. I wouldn't doubt a hp increase from exhaust on any turbo car.

As far as the intake, I didn't notice any sound difference over stock. Only thing I noticed is my fuel mileage dropped to 22mpg. I'm sure a tune is needed with it. It's definitely coming back off.
