Cold Air Intake for Chevy S-10 GMC Sonoma (1997-2003) 2.2L Engine

Improve Throttle Response and Induction Sound for Chevy S-10 and GMC Sonoma Vortec 2200

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1997-2003 GM S-Series truck owners running the Vortec 2200 engine.

The Problem: The Vortec 2200 is a legendary workhorse, but the factory intake system was designed to prioritize silence over efficiency. The stock plastic airbox and baffled resonator tubes create significant air turbulence and restriction, which often makes these 2.2L engines feel sluggish and "choked out" during highway merging or under heavy load.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to correct the factory design flaws of the Vortec 2200, replacing the restrictive stock assembly with a high-flow mandrel-bent aluminum tube. By smoothing out the air path and increasing the volume of available oxygen, this kit helps the engine breathe more naturally, delivering a noticeable improvement in throttle sensitivity and a much more aggressive engine note.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Efficiency: The T304 lightweight aluminum piping provides a smooth, internal surface that reduces air drag compared to the ribbed factory plastic hoses.
• Serviceable High-Flow Filter: Includes a washable, reusable synthetic cotton filter that provides exceptional filtration while allowing higher CFM; no more buying disposable paper filters every 15,000 miles.
• Straightforward Installation: This is a true bolt-on kit. You can swap out the factory airbox in under 60 minutes using basic hand tools like a socket set and a screwdriver.
