If you're looking to unlock some serious potential in your ride, the HPS Performance Air Intake Kit is where it’s at. I’ve been using this setup on my Cruze, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. Forget about that stock intake and air box that chokes your engine; this kit replaces it with a design that really lets your engine breathe.

The heart of this kit is the 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing. It’s crafted to ensure smooth airflow, which means your engine gets the air it craves without any of that annoying turbulence. Pair that with a high-flow, reusable cotton air filter, and you’re not just getting a boost in performance; you’re also making a smart choice for the environment by cutting down on waste.

One of the coolest features is the heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield. It’s not just for show; it helps keep the incoming air cool, which is crucial for performance. And let’s not forget about the sound—it unleashes that iconic turbocharged growl that makes driving a blast. You’ll feel the difference in acceleration and throttle response, especially when you’re cruising around town.

On the dyno, this kit has proven gains of up to 9 horsepower and 11 lb-ft of torque. That’s some serious muscle for your daily drive. Plus, installation is a breeze. You don’t need to be a mechanic to get this thing in—just some simple hand tools and you’re good to go. No complicated modifications needed, which is a huge win in my book.

Now, a quick heads-up: this kit isn’t compatible with the 2016 Cruze Limited 1.4L Turbo, so make sure you check your model before diving in.
