Not for the diesel....Mpfab is the great no bolting it up sides in great
Cold air intake will always make mpg worse than warm air intakes ... simply for the fact that your computer will cut back on fuel supplied when the intake air is warmer. Don't get me wrong, on my '12 Eco, the Injen CAI was good for mpg increase overall, and definitely made it possible to hear the blow-off when shifting (though I doubt you'll hear much of that on a Diesel automatic anyway, no matter what). I did step on the gas more aggressively after the CAI install because of that beautiful noise too :grin: and people would actually look at the car like they were in shock from hearing a BOV on a Cruze Eco. I'm sure you could figure out a way to make something work for you. I know I tried multiple configurations of intakes on my Escalade, and determined that my best mpg ratings came from the factory air box, with a drop-in dry flow AEM filter, and the intake tube from a Volant intake kit that I had lying around after getting rid of a Chevy Avalanche. Best of luck finding something that works well and gives you the benefits you're hoping for.I have been trying to decide whether I should get the K&N or get the AEM for mine. I understand the range of Hp gain is minimal with the AEM and in the winter the cold air will worsen mileage.
What's crazy is that the recirc valve on the diesel auto with an intake is very loud. Even between shifts you can hear it. It has a completely different sound than the blowoff on the gas motor though. More of a deep, rushing air sound.Cold air intake will always make mpg worse than warm air intakes ... simply for the fact that your computer will cut back on fuel supplied when the intake air is warmer.

Doubt it was coincidence, as that is a lean code - common with CAIs. Definitely related.I had it on ours for a month, got a check engine light. code was p0171. Put it back to stock and took it to the dealership. Said they couldn't find anything wrong and the code cleared itself while they had it. I'll be putting it back on in a couple days to see if the code comes back or if it was coincidence. Hopefully it was a coincidence, because it really does sound good.
Any ùpdate on this? I was finally able to get my hands on one in Commiefornia. Thanks!I put the K&N back on today. I'll keep an eye on it and see if that code comes back again. Last time it came on and cleared itself a day or so later so it might just be a nuisance code that will trigger under certain conditions and then clear a day or so later. I'll post back on here if it does.
I think that since my last post, it has thrown a lean code maybe once or twice. Seems to be very uncommon. Maybe in the process of removing/reinstalling the intake, I may have fixed a leaking coupler or something. Either way, I would say it is worth it. The car sounds so good with that intake on.Any ùpdate on this? I was finally able to get my hands on one in Commiefornia. Thanks!I put the K&N back on today.

Awesome. My intake came today and only took about 45 mins to install. No cutting which was nice. Finally the car is starting to sound like a diesel! Im planning on a delete not to far in the future, hopefully it will be easy like the intake. Thanks.I think that since my last post, it has thrown a lean code maybe once or twice.
