Rough Country Cold Air Intake

Installed it to today. Took it for a quick ride. Sounds great and looks good. Have a long trip planned this weekend we’ll see how it does. Downside the hose clamps were missing for the black hoses and the clamps for the main tube were junk. They bottomed out before the couplers were tight. Installed normal clamps everything is tight.

I recently installed the Rough Country air intake, and I’m extremely impressed with the overall value and performance. For the price point, it delivers performance comparable to brands like K&N, but at a fraction of the cost. And shipping ONE DAY! The airflow improvement over the factory intake is immediately noticeable. Throttle response feels sharper and more responsive, and while I wasn’t expecting a significant change in sound, there is a clear and aggressive tone when accelerating. It adds a nice performance sound without being overwhelming. Installation was straightforward and user-friendly. It took me about 35 minutes to complete. Those new to DIY installations may need a bit more time, but overall it’s a simple process. I would recommend picking up four 1-inch hose clamps ahead of time, as they are not included in the kit. The unit I received had a small cosmetic dent (shown in photos), but it does not affect performance in any way. Overall, this intake offers excellent performance, sound, and value for the money. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable upgrade over stock.

Makes engine sound more rowdy. Maybe a little more pep . Fits good looks good performs perfect

I'm very impressed with the quality of this product. It is by far not perfect but for the price the value is unbeatable I'm not expecting much at this price point. I installed this on a Chevy Silverado with a 5.3 L the sound is amazing did seem to sharpen up my throttle response a little bit. I did have a little bit of debris in the tube I simply ran a microfiber towel and pushed it through with a cleaning rod installation was very simple and easy took less than an hour clamps are not the best but they do the job I wouldn't suggest buying four 1-in hose clamps as others have stated for vacuum lines just make sure the lines do not kink. All in all this is a great value at a great price and I'm very pleased with the results.

Had for over a year now no problems besides the clamps seem to come lose no mater how much you tighten them

Bought this for my 2016 Silverado LTZ with the 5.3 v8. Pretty straightforward install, comes with good instructions, but the hardware leaves a little to be desired. One of the bigger hose clamps broke when installing and they didn’t include the two small hose clamps for the breather tubes but gave me two medium hose clamps so I made due with what I had laying around. It has a really cool induction noise under load which I like, and it looks good.

Glad I assume the negative reviewers were not to be trusted and ordered this. It went on easy (less than an hour), it looks awesome and it's already made a difference in one day. My truck idles smoother and I love the little growl it has when I get on it. Let's address a couple things in the negative review... The inside of the pipe being dirty as several have said. Mine wasn't, but I still balled up a towel and pushed it through with a piece of PVC pipe just to make sure. If you don't want to do that, don't buy a DIY install of a cold air intake. Just take it to a professional, who will do that on everyone they install to make sure it's free of dirt and debris. The kit didn't come with the four little hose clamps. Mine didn't either, but I assume any person attempting to DIY install a cold air intake probably has a jar of misc sized hose clamps on their workbench. I grabbed four and it didn't really impact the install at all. Seriously, if you are looking for a cold air intake that isn't insanely over-priced, this is the one. It's great quality and it's still at a great price too!

To start off the pipe came scratched and bent , on the intake side like it had been dropped. I had to get a pair of channel locks and straighten it round. when installing 2 of the clamps seized and stripped the threads “ hand tightened, with a screwdriver handle /adapter to the socket “ : one of them seized half way then couldn’t get off or tighten up , the other seized when taking off pipe to replace the first broken one . “Which I then had to twist/cut the clamp off-then, had to go buy another set of 3.5” clamps from a diesel shop to replace the broken ones. 20$ later. Another thing is that the kit didn’t even come with clamps to tighten the rubber hoses to the valve cover , I had to make another trip to the store to buy those aswell ! Another 8$ on top of that . All in all not worth it in my opinion, I should have spent the money the first time & got a better kit. I understand it wasn’t much to begin with but nothings worse than getting something and it being mistreated, having cheap parts, and missing .

Excelente producto, a un precio increíble

Purchased this cold air intake for my 2017 GMC Sierra. Install was very easy took me under an hour. Despite some other reviews of the air filter falling off I have not had that issue. Build quality is great & kit looks awesome on my truck. Had to source some small gear clamps for the hoses that go from the valve covers to the intake tube so the hoses would stay secured. Paired with an exhaust this kit gained me about 2L/100KM when driving conservatively. Sounds great as well! Well worth it for the money Would recommend!

I was nervous to buy this due to the negative reviews. But surprisingly it’s actually very good. If you do buy it make sure to clean out the pipe first to make sure there are no metal shards inside it and also double check the air filter clamp is tight because mine did come off. Besides that everything is good. Could use better hose clamps

MUST READ! Pros: - Product "works". - Increases performance. - Air filter looks okay for quality. - Rubber couplers aren't bad. Cons: - My red seal mechanic couldn't make it fit without rubbing on the rad fan plastic?? We had to rubber as a barrier (Pic included). - Main pipe out of the box had at least 3 larger noticeable dents... quality control? (Pic included showing 1 of the bigger ones). - The seal for airbox wasnt very tight and it would lift where it bends more aggressively. We had to make relief cuts that make visually arent appealing. Even spots where it fits good it looks bad on the seal side of things. - The included clamps are junk, throw them away and get better more reliable ones. I used one of the oem ones for example. - The plastic fittings feel super light and junk feeling but I used them because I had to. - They say you don't need hose clamps for the rubber hoses but on mine were so lose that they likely wouldn't even hold vaccum. I'd imagine one bump they would fall right off. We scrambled to get clamps and they use them in their install guide. - They say its a quick easy install but an engineer and a red seal mechanic found it tk be difficult and time consuming. - Included sticker was warped and lifting even when installed in correct spot. Dirt will eventually get underneath mine (easy fix but not wasting an hour on it) I could not return the item because I had shop time booked and it would cost me more than I can afford.. such a shame. I'm sure I would get another pipe if returned with dents since I got one with 3 big ones and 3 small ones. I know rough country gets called out for being low quality but I didn't expect this. ormally I would say you get what you pay for but having no quality control on this you will be regretting it before you can even smile while remove all the bubble wrap. I don't write reviews and I would avoid this at all costs. You don't know if you will end up with one worse than mine and I wouldn't trust getting another "good" one through a return. Just get anything else and don't end up like me. Zach from Canada.

Good value. Definitely works. Immediately better throttle response, feels a little more torque too. Motor Sounds great. 5 stars for value and fitment and function. 3 stars because it could be a whole lot better. The stock air box def draws more cold air as this heat shield is nowhere near sealed whatsoever. 4 stars for being scratched as every review says, def want to clean out the tube as there is metal shavings like every review says. You will for sure need 4 1” hose clamps because those pcv hoses are crazy loose with no clamp. So many people for years and years have said you need clamps. It’s just crazy RC doesn’t include 4 small clamps. Overall I would buy it again, it’s half the price as the big name and does the same thing. I should give this 5 stars but 4 is good enough as they could have made small changes over the years and I will have to fix up the heat shield to make it seal up better to only draw cold air.
