2014 – 2017 CHEVROLET CAPRICE
Our cold air intake for the 2014-17 Chevy Caprice is based off of our extremely popular 2014-17 Chevy SS Sedan intake with minor changes to the air box housing to accommodate the Caprice components. This cold air intake will add horsepower and give your car an awesome sound.
NOT FOR THE CAMARO SS!!Like our other cold air intake systems, this unit installs with basic tools, requires absolutely no modifications to your car and performs well with the stock vehicle calibration. Drivability is excellent and sound is throaty under aggressive acceleration while very comparable to stock under normal cruising conditions.
In our testing, the Roto-fab cold air intake picks up 11 RWHP over the stock system in hood closed dyno testing. Before we go any further, we want to share some of the design features and benefits.
As you may know, Roto-fab does all designing, tooling, molding and metal fabrication in-house. This gives us the unique benefits of choosing what we feel are the best materials and processes for each component.
The Caprice proved to be very challenging in terms of keeping air intake temps as low as possible. The Roto-fab Pontiac G8 GT intake performs great and is extremely popular; therefore, we didn’t want to stray too much from the basic design for the Chevy Caprice.
However, the hood strut and hood liner design made it nearly impossible to effectively seal to the hood. On both the G8 and SS, it’s crucial to isolate engine compartment air from the filter. With our G8 system, intake temps jumped over 20F simply by pulling the hood latch which creates a small gap between the hood seal of our box and the hood liner!
For these reasons, Roto-fab elected to use an enclosed box with the air entry located lower and on the outboard side of the frame. In addition to the air box assembly itself, Roto-fab supplies a polymer heat shield which mates up to the air box.
The shield rests on the frame rail, extends forward to the core support and rearward to the fender. As you can see in the pictures, the air box and heat shield combine to form an effective barrier against hot radiator air reaching the filter.
To access the filter, our air box features an aluminum and polycarbonate lid which hinges from the back of the air box. To achieve an effective lid seal, we use a self-locking screw in the front which works in conjunction with the rear hinge to maintain a uniform crush on the inner seal.
Like the air box itself, the design features of the lid help achieve the goal of isolating the filter from engine/radiator heat.
The duct work to the throttle body starts with a velocity stock duct section which fastens to the air box via five molded in brass inserts and stainless steel screws. The filter side has a huge 6 inch diameter clamping surface which accepts our oversize filter. Passing through the air box, the duct features a generous radius which transitions to 4.25 inch to accept the OEM MAF sensor.
On the engine side of the MAF sensor we use a high gloss black silicone hump hose to absorb motor rock. Next is our inlet elbow which has nearly a 4 inch ID, a generous radius throughout its length and a molded in brass bung to accept the PCV hose fitting.
Our inlet elbow OD is larger than the OD of the throttle body; therefore, we use a high gloss black silicone reducing coupler to join the throttle body. Stainless steel hose clamps and a silicone PCV hose complete the system.
From start to finish, Roto-fab have strived to provide the highest quality products possible in a package that performs well, looks good and fits your car as it should. Thanks for considering a Roto-fab cold air intake for your 2014-17 Caprice!
This listing is for the cold air intake with the dry filter option. The replacement dry filter part number is 10135004.
ABOUT ROTO-FAB
In 1998, Roto-fab began designing and manufacturing aftermarket automotive components on a private label basis. After nearly a decade of developing and manufacturing automotive products for others, the first Roto-fab branded parts were introduced. In only a few short years, the company has experienced tremendous growth and acceptance among car enthusiasts.
The key to success has been providing truly unique products that perform as they should, fit the car well, and install easily without modifications to the vehicle. Combine that with outstanding customer service and the result is a satisfied end user!
The design approach is simple. We design the best products possible with little regard to tooling expense or manufacturing difficulty. Roto-fab products start as hand-made working prototypes that are relentlessly refined until the desired performance level, fit, and appearance are reached. There is no settling for less! The final prototype is then reverse engineered to create tooling and fixtures for production. By implementing this approach, the final product has all of the ingenuity and custom touches of a “one-off” hand fabricated piece. With two rotational molding machines for plastic molding as well as a complete metal fabrication shop, Roto-fab has the flexibility to design and manufacture it’s own plastic and metal products in-house. This unique freedom in manufacturing is one of the major qualities that set Roto-fab apart from the others.
As growth continues, rest assured Roto-fab will never lose track of individual customer service both before and after your purchase. Customer satisfaction and word of mouth has been our greatest marketing asset to this point; therefore, it only makes sense to continue down the path that has brought so much success already.
