Cold Air Intake for Chevy S-10/GMC Sonoma (1997-2003) 2.2L L4 Engine Black Filter

Unleash the Vortec 2200: High-Flow Intake for 1997-2003 Chevy S-10 & GMC Sonoma 2.2L

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Chevrolet S-10, GMC Sonoma, and Isuzu Hombre owners running the GM Vortec 2200 (LN2) engine who want to restore lost performance and achieve better fuel economy during daily commutes or light-duty hauling.

The Factory Air Box Suffocation: From the factory, your 2.2L L4 is forced to breathe through a restrictive, heat-soaking plastic air box and a dense paper filter. You step on the gas to merge onto the highway, and the LN2 engine feels sluggish and breathless, struggling to find its power band. This bottleneck doesn’t just hurt your 0-60 times; it forces your engine to work harder, dragging down your miles per gallon.

The Engineering Solution: We engineered this kit to eliminate the restrictive factory baffles by replacing them with a high-velocity, polished T-304 aluminum intake pipe. This system provides a direct, mandrel-bent path for oxygen to reach the manifold. Paired with a high-flow, washable black cone filter, this setup allows your engine to draw in a higher volume of cooler air, resulting in a 7-10% increase in horsepower and a significantly more aggressive engine note under load.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers a dyno-estimated 7-10% boost in Horsepower and 6-8% increase in Torque, providing the extra “grunt” needed for passing and acceleration.
• The Material: Constructed from polished T-304 Stainless Aluminum, which dissipates heat faster and resists corrosion far better than generic plastic or low-grade aluminized steel alternatives.
• The Install: A true direct bolt-on solution. Unlike universal kits that require “custom” cutting or zip-ties, this kit uses established mounting points for a secure, 60-minute installation with basic hand tools.
