How much horsepower will an intake add?
Most cold air intakes add 5-15 horsepower depending on the vehicle. The bigger gain is in throttle response and the sound under acceleration. Our shop at 9261 Bally Ct, Rancho Cucamonga is about 16 miles from Riverside — most customers are in and out the same day.
Will an intake void my warranty?
Federal Magnuson-Moss law protects against blanket warranty denials. We carry CARB-EO certified intakes that are explicitly legal in California and won't trigger warranty issues.
Do I need a tune with an intake?
Modern trucks with adaptive ECUs handle most intake changes without a tune. For maximum gains, pair the intake with a tuner or programmer — we install both.
We serve these nearby locations for cold air intake installation:
“K&N cold air intake installed on my Ram in under two hours. The throttle response is way better and the sound under acceleration is awesome. CARB legal so my warranty is fine.”
“Empire installed an aFe intake on my Tundra. Clean install, no codes, and the truck pulls noticeably harder. Plus the lifetime filter means no more buying replacements.”
“Got a cold air intake on my Silverado. The team made sure the MAF sensor was clean and reseated correctly. Truck runs better than ever.”
