The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon were awarded the Motor Trend’s 2015 and 2016 Truck of the Year. Anyone who owns a 2016 or 2017 Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon should be happy to learn that K&N has introduced the 63-3095 performance intake kit. Dyno tests have confirmed that the intake offers an estimated boost of 8.14-horsepower at 3200 rpm. It includes a K&N RF-1044XD universal clamp-on air filter, a free-flowing polyethylene intake tube that accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose, and a heat shield to guard against hot engine air from entering the intake and that installs into the original air box space. The oversized cone shaped filter features a multilayered cotton gauze media that has been treated with a special grade of oil. The oil makes the cotton strands so sticky they can catch and hold on to potentially harmful contaminants. The filter is washable and reusable and will last for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is required, depending on driving conditions. K&N also offers the 99-5000 filter care service kit that is formulated to cleanse and rejuvenate the air filter so that it can be used over and over again. In fact, it will perform for the life of the vehicle. K&N backs the air filter with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty that promises that it will perform for 10 years or 1,000,000 miles before replacement is required. The intake not only boosts horsepower. It also improves throttle response, acceleration and engine sound. It is designed and engineered to replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing and offers a smooth and straighter path of airflow to allow the engine to breathe in a larger amount of air than is supplied by the factory assembly. More air translates to more power and acceleration at all points of the engine’s rpm range. The aerodynamically engineered intake tube routes the air into the engine’s throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The 63-3095 air intake can be installed in about 90 minutes using common hand tools and the vehicle’s existing factory mounting points. The K&N 63-3095 AirCharger air intake system is designed to fit the following vehicles: 2017 GMC CANYON 2.8L L4 Diesel Engine - All Models | |||
