Review on 🚀 K&N Cold Air Intake Kit: Performance Boost Guaranteed, Enhances Horsepower: Compatible with 2017-2019 Chevy Cruze, 1.4L L4 Engine, Part Number: 69-4537TS by David Hansen

Not sure about this K&N Cold Air Intake for Chevy Cruze at the moment. Starting with the installation, the instructions are very vague, so you need to know what you're doing if you want to do it right, otherwise it will be painful and take longer. Nothing positives can come to mind during installation, but definitely cons such as: 1) The heat shield is poorly designed and shaped to fit the engine compartment, allowing the aftermarket studs to fully penetrate the intake box bushings. 2) The inlet pipe is too short and doesn't reach properly to the heat shield box like most kits to avoid a headache installing a filter with a hose clamp so it takes a long time to adjust between length adjustments on the heat shield side by reducing the pipe length in of the clutch going to the turbo.3) Position The MAF sensor is not well located for the proportional position of the MAF SENSOR wiring harness, so the full assembly will cause stress on the wiring harness and connector. 4) Moving the crankcase ventilation is very unorthodox and puts a strain on the EGR. This thing does it if you're just cruising around town, which is annoying when it's just a daily driver. Certainly, if it's a toy car or your racer it might be your thing, but that sound isn't the turbo whistle you think it is. 6) Not to mention that these machines don't have enough space to work and everything has to be disassembled to work on a small detail, you add a lot more that you have to disassemble and add to the frustration for the repair than food for thought at . As for driving. I'm not sure where these guys are getting the increased MPG from. For comparison I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze 1.4 gas turbo that is now completely stock except for this intake. This vehicle is 55k and the highest average mpg I was able to get was around 50mpg at a steady pace of 55mph on a straight highway with no hills. I mainly drive long stretches of freeway and after installing this filter there was no change for over 200 miles at 55mph, I was still at 50mpg in a straight line. I'm not saying it's impossible to get that extra MPG, but that cost will only be possible with an aftermarket exhaust system that offers the best exhaust flow like any other vehicle. What goes in must come out, to get more air you have to push the air out, some back pressure is fine but too much will reduce or limit performance. In any case. Positives: 1) K&N hasn't let me down yet when they got that cold air into the cylinders so I like knowing my turbo life will be extended due to overheating and my spark plugs due to much better airflow Pollution are protected .-fuel mixture, while the candles are slightly colder to avoid additional stress and soot burn-in on the electrodes. 2) I've noticed an increased response as the throttle body is now not limited to what the airbox can hold, it is now limited to what the throttle body can handle. I used to feel a vibration when starting and more of a grumpy camel noise. Now it's gone and gone. I can ignore the intake noise in favor of throttle response. In general. I think if K&N had spent a little more time on this product it could have been a high quality and perfect upgrade. Not sure why less attention was paid to the design as K&N is usually a great product and it took time and effort to get a perfect fit, easy installation and hassle free upgrades.
