The late-model GM performance line has demonstrated time and again just how potent and ruthless they can be when it comes to power. And in the name of ever-increasing performance margins, AIRAID has released a new intake system for the 2014 SS, which gives the LS3 significant gains to its airflow and style department; in other words, more smiles per mile for you, the owner.
Official Release:
The 2014 Chevy SS is a potent performance sedan with its 6.2L V8 engine, which pumps out 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque right out of the box. But performance enthusiasts know there’s always more power under the hood, and AIRAID once again delivers the goods with a complete SS Cold Air Dam Intake System. This system unlocks an additional dyno-proven 21 horsepower and 12 lb-ft of torque with a simple bolt-on installation and no additional tuning required.
The AIRAID Intake System for the 2014 SS replaces the restrictive factory intake box with aluminum Cold Air Dam panels that keep the new performance air filter isolated from hot engine compartment air while also providing the engine with plenty of cool outside air. Blade-style weatherstripping seals the panels against the underside of the hood, which further keeps away hot air.
The panels provide additional room for an oversize AIRAID performance filter that is available with traditional oiled media, or SynthaMax dry media that is colorfast-dyed in red, blue, or black. The Cold Air Dam system connects to the factory mass air sensor with a unique velocity stack, which helps optimize airflow to the engine. The new aluminum intake tube smooths the airflow path from the sensor to the throttle body and cleans up the overall look of the engine compartment while offering a more aggressive sound.
Testing with the intake tube also reveals crisper throttle response and overall enhanced driveability around town. Because the AIRAID system is modular and keeps the mass air sensor in the stock location, it is also compatible with most aftermarket supercharger kits. As with the rest of AIRAID’s products, the Chevy SS CAD system is Made in the USA and includes all of the necessary installation hardware in addition to complete instructions written with the do-it-yourselfer in mind. The filter is even backed by AIRAID’s exclusive “No Hassle” warranty.
Features:
- Dyno-proven gains of up to 21 horsepower and 12 pound-feet of torque
- Aluminum panels and blade-style weatherstripping keep the filter isolated from hot air
- Modular design allows for no-hassle installation of many aftermarket supercharger kits
