2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra 1500 Rough Country Cold Air Intake Review & Install
Vložit

- A simple way to increase the power and performance of your Silverado 1500 is by installing a Rough Country Cold Air Intake. By replacing your Silverado's restrictive stock factory intake with a high flow filter assembly you will see and feel a noticeable increase in rear wheel horsepower and torque. This Rough Country Intake not only improves airflow for an increase in power, but it will also add a rugged appearance to your engine bay with its black finished intake tube.
No Tune Required. Rough Country engineered their Cold Air Intake to improve the performance of your Silverado without the need of reprogramming your computer. By utilizing flow dynamics, this Intake will increase power using the original factory tune. Even though a re-tune is not required for operation, AmericanTrucks recommends a custom tune to reprogram the vehicles computer (ECU) to get the best possible performance from this Cold Air Intake.
Reusable Air Filter. The included high flow air filter effectively filters out power robbing particles with its multi layer design. The specially treated media creates a sticky surface to capture microscopic contaminants before they can enter your Silverado's engine and do harm. Seeing that the filter is reusable there is no need to buy a new filter every few thousand miles. You can just clean the filter, re-oil it, and reinstall - saving yourself money in the long haul. amtrucks.at/3zyPF3B

My tube was full of metal shavings some quite large. Would have ruined my motor. They sent a replacement and it was even worse…
Used this video to install one on my 2017 Sierra today. Love it so far. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Did you have any issues with the factory remote start? Mine just clicks and doesn’t start
Thanks for the video. I just did the install. Took 1 hour like you said. Definitely sounds great when you get on it. The only thing extra that I did was add some extra clamps around those hoses.
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Installed the Rough Country this evening. I noticed a difference right away. Throttle is now snappy and responsive. The truck finally has decent bottom end pulling really nice 0-60mph. So to be honest I’ve installed superchips flashpaqs not much changed and a carveen TR exhaust big change now the RC cold air intake big change again. My truck 2015 Silverado has 226000 on it and it’s like having a new truck. Total price for all was about $550. Well worth it in my book. RC fit and finish 3.5 stars RC performance so far 4.5 stars. Just my opinion and experience so far.
Thank you for the video, very helpful , I'm just installed mine in 2014 Sierra 1500 SLE we'll see the different in air intake prices and quality competitors
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Couldn't have done it without you ❤️
Thank you for watching!!
Installed the RC this evening 2015 Silverado 230,000 miles. I’m impressed so far. Throttle is snappy with my truck pulling hard 0-60mph. RC fit and finish 3.5 stars performance change 4.5 stars. Other upgrades superchips flash paqs 87 octane tune little change. Carveen TR exhaust big noticeable change. RC cold air intake big noticeable change. Total investment $550 all upgrades. Just my opinion.
I have a 2014 sliverado, and it only has one breather hose. And the throttle body Cupuler seems to bug for it. The website said it fit my truck, are there any solutions for this?
When rotating the bar @ 4:30 just remove the exposed bolt (which you loosened) on the side instead of the one hidden under the cowling. A few extra unnecessary steps could be skipped there doing it this way.
I feel like the coupling that has flex goes on throttle body?
The two rubber couplers are reverse to the instructions. The flex one is supposed yo be at the throttle body
I thought the rough country filter was a dry filter? I emailed them and they said it was dry, unless they were wrong.
Did it rub the fan shroud or Reservoir???
Doesn't fit my 2018 silverado due to the radiator reservoir being in the same place as the curve in the tube..soo had to get longer hoses to relocate the reservoir.🙄😑
cual es el correcto para una silverado ltz motor 6.2 año 2015, me gustaria en tubo de aluminio.
sabe cual es el numero de parte? gracias
Did you have any issues with the factory remote start? Mine just clicks and doesn’t start
change the battery in your remote control
Anyone have this on a 2wd sierra/ silverado. Amazon says it won’t fit but I figured it’d all be the same
It’s crazy how much air flow is lost in the air box that’s attached to the throttle body.
I added this to my 5.3 and I have an engine light on everything’s tight even put hose clamps in the smaller rubber hoses. Cleaned (mas) and still same issue engine lights on on my 2016 Silverado… pretty mad about it…
Was it a P0175 code?
I just tried to install you unit and the quality is poor. SS clamps won't tighten, the hoses fit loosely on the tube and the heat shield does not begin to fit properly. I am returning it.
So I have a 2014 WT model so it’s a 4.3 v6 but a few people told me it’d be stupid to install a cold air intake on it but now I’m kind of on the fence to even do it
Do it don’t listen to them it’ll help more responsive
@@jacobsalazarjs87 that’s what I was expecting, thank you for the clarification!
@@caitlinmccann4159 no worries yeah it’s more or less aesthetically upgrade and sound and snappy response I’m actually waiting on my intake to be delivered today I’ll update you on how it feels
@@jacobsalazarjs87 sick dude lmk how it goes!
Check engine light came on after install of 2018 5.3 do i need to go back to the stock then and wait to set up a tune?
Its your air flow censor
@tyleredwards93 Thanks, boss man, I had gotten it figured out after bout a hour that day. I appreciate the Help though!
What was the fix?
Unplugged the battery for 10 mins and did a reset then after I plugged the battery back in and let it idle for bout 20 mins so the computer can recognize the cai
usually that happens if you didnt disconnect the battery before installing or if you put the sensor in wrong way
how come you said the bottom tray needs to be removed and then in the end it's shown installed 🤔😆
Lol.. lucky I wasn't just throwing parts away as I was going
I wondered the same thing. Thought I was seeing things
I was just about to make that comment. I wonder if it's worth cutting the hole bigger in the tray?
I think he meant removing the bolts from the bottom tray and not the tray itself
Why in the hell do you take the bottom plate off at 5:30 & then it's put back on at 13:00? Pointless step!
And that's what you felt the need to cry about?did you have to send it back because you're too stupid to figure it out on your own?
Where do we buy the oil for filter? Anybody?
Anywhere
k&n will work
I installed this kit and turned out the air sensor fits only one way... and for some reason, that position is backward. Now, my truck won't start.
Then but back the original air filter Intank
I turned mine around and tapped new holes
@austinortiz361 I stupidly broke it when I put it aside. Needless to say, pour choice and resulted in damage. Otherwise, I would have. I got it working now, though.
@@jac.o.blayne that's what I ended up doing as well.
What year do you have? Just installed it on my 2016 and it won’t start now
Is there a real difference vs the bigger name brands like k&n? I don't mind spending the coin but if the difference is negligible, then why spend the extra $100-$300
What did you end up going with? I just ordered the RC, thought I’d save the coin and get new tail lights with it. Figured they’d do the exact same thing.
@@markandreasen3157 I went with the Spectre SPE 90060k for $375 CAD before taxes on Amazon. It has similar reviews/complaints as the RC intake but I didnt experience any of the parts coming loose and what not. As for performance, I felt the pedal response get better from stock, snappier and felt "instant". You def feel the powerband increase from 0 - 4k RPM's but no performance gains after that. Sound is deep and throaty, pairs well with my Flowmaster super 40 dumped before the axle. Imo, I dont think I'd see any difference if I went with K&N or Airaid.
Thanks, glad that is working out for you. I’ll let you know how the RC CAI goes.
Honestly from being around cars and moding them since the 90's there really isn't a difference other than your paying for the names. The biggest thing to remember here and this is very IMPORTANT a pipe, hoses, clamps, and a filter can NOT and will NOT "ADD" horsepower. All a intake mode does is free up whatever hp is choked out by the stock intake. Once again it's not adding any only freeing up what is "trapped" or held in check by our American (assuming you're in America) emissions regulations. So in all honesty I'd say for about 90%-95% of people doing a intake mode on a vehicle it doesn't matter if it's $20 or $1000 they will and all do about the same.
@@SugeDay74 appreciate the honest feedback. I never bought into the HP gains that are advertised with CAI's. How you explained is exactly what it is and thats how it should be marketed
No clamps on the PCV hoses…..
My oil pressure raised after installation any ideas?
What year?
Just installed mine noticed same issue. Slightly raises when I accelerate/punch it then goes back down once I start cruising. Should I be concerned?
2 stage oil pump
don't have a clue how to do it. 5:03 and 12:52
No gains, just looks better and sounds better. Less filtration then factory… factory IS A COLD AIR… this is not a true cold air. That upper seals doesn’t 100% seal to the hood. Factory airbox is more of a true cold air intake with closed box. Make your choice…
S&b is better
And 200% of the cost lol. They do the same thing. Save that extra 250 for exhaust
For 90-95% of people doing this all you're buying is a name. A pipe and different filter can not and will not EVER add any horsepower. But keep on believing your $3000 pipe and filter is now giving you 100 more hp.
My intake tube was chalked full of metal shavings. Would have ruined my engine. Check your tubes people. Pathetic quality control.
Was this installing a CAI in general of roughy country brand?
@@Mistah_J_786rough country
Never in stock.useless video
Should be back in stock next week. 😉 -Zach
Ordered mine when out of stock from RC and got it a whole month later. Lol
Now to see how long my RC exhaust will take to restock…..
