Hey guys I have looked everywhere and can not seem to find a cold air intake system for my gmc canyon sle-1 3.7 i5. I was wondering if anyone knew of one out there.
thanks
thanks

the year won't matter, it's all the same thing. As long as it's for the 3.7L and not the 3.5L. I'm actually taking mine off my 2008 3.7L to put the stock one back on
Cold air intake only works when its in your cab in front of your AC vent. (no im not serious)
Even in winter, my Aero Force guage reads intake temps in the low 80's.

Yep it will increase air flow but no matter how you slice anything under the hood will get hot. My intake temps read anywhere from 85 to 160 depending on the time of the day... And yes it gets that bloody hot under the hood welcome to texas and no rain for 35 days... And that was with a K&N I put the stocker back on and no change...
Your money really is much better invested modifying the intake from gm then trying to re-engineer it. They did a pretty good job the first time. And i swear if someone comes on here and says "I can really feel how much faster my truck is" ..... it just sounds faster
i bought the kn for my 3.7. it was like $320 back in 08 when i bought it. its dyno'd 10.9 hp gain, reusable filter, and i havent thrown a cel light like some of the homemade shit tends to do if its not right. we also have an extra filter that the 3.5s dont. not exactly sure what its for but its there lol.
ooo 10 hp so another 5 ft lbs of torque on the top end? thats not enough to feel. How much did you lose down low? can you feel the loss down low? and yes you get a reusable filter that doesnt filter as efficiently so you get more particulates in your engine theres another win :shrug: homemade shit only throws cel's if it is indeed shit and does not seal correctly, your K&N will throw the same codes if you dont tighten your hose clamps just like the diy'ers. FYI every 10 degree drop in intake temp is equivilant to a 1% improvement in torque, so going from one true cold air intake to a underhood "shielded filter" i dont see the benefit especially for $320.
Cold air intakes are just like cat back exhausts... do you really think it is making your truck more powerful? spend half as much on a tune for a real benefit or do something that is not a "simple bolt on" because ALL a bolt on can do is possiably reduce pumping loses. i have a aftermarket intake on my 7500 rpm 383 trans am, but its flowing alittle more air than gm planned for :naughty: your stock 3.7 intake was the result of allot of design and engineering and was designed to keep your truck quiet and supply the needed air.

So tell me should a high performance engine run its stock intake when its putting down some serious power? A cold air helps, not much but it helps. In winter I saw intake temps of 37 degrees coming into the engine with a cold air.
:shrug: Do something that actually makes a difference on a stock engine? The goal is to make our vehicles better not waste our money isnt it? With my stock intake (minues resonator) on our colorado my intake air temps going down the road are within one degree of outside, care to improve that? If you read what i was saying a high performance engine which has been heavily modified from stock can very well benefit from intakes and exhausts IF they flow more air, stock displacement/rpm engines could care less.
i put a CAI on my 08 3.7 moreso do to this than the want for more power.....

not a fan of mud literally getting trapped in the airbox, with the CAI there's no box to trap that kind of sludge, mud 98% of the time doesn't actually even hit the filter, and even if it does ya can get the filter covers that again help repel the dirt / mud. 1 year later my CAI still looks in great condition, meanwhile the stock filter in the picture was after only a few days of offroading.

wow, thanks for taking pictures thats impressive 
go big or go home? Just curious is your wheel well liner still intact?
go big or go home? Just curious is your wheel well liner still intact?yeah wheel liner is intact, it's got a 4 inch skyjacker kit, a 2.5ish crank, no body lift no gaping holes in the fenders and yeah the airbox was getting jacked up bad, with the K&N there's the siding on it to stop splashing through the engine bay, and an open bottom so anything that does make it near the filter can just drain away.
exactly. emaxxer has prolly gotten more hp out of his 3.7 without spray, turbo, or superchager than any one else on here. i have intake, exhaust, gutted cats, high octane tune, vette servos, its no speed demon but im lifted on 33"s and wanted to get a lil more power, its quicker now than it was on stock tires... intake on my 2010 hd can gain up to 39hp and 65ft lbs torque,, is that also pointless, a simple drop in filter for it gains 9hp in stock location, and yes dragging a 32ft gooseneck you can tell a slight difference
"So I guess do what you want and everyone else will add intakes/exhaust and tunes, while getting better mileage and more power than yours"
Yup ill just keep getting mid 20's per gallon and go on hating my life.
"how come it is the number 1 bolt on in the world on any vehicle"
Advertising and ease of installation
"intake on my 2010 hd can gain up to 39hp and 65ft lbs torque,, is that also pointless"
If that was true that would be awesome but i find that a little hard to believe. here is a link they claim 19.67 "hp" Want to explain your numbers?

"But GM didnt instead they choked the shit out of the intake"
If you hook a vacuum gauge up pre-throttle body and go drive the truck at wide open there is not a vacuum being created in the "restrictive factory intake" so how is it choked? There is more to how much a pipe can flow than just its diameter, length also comes into effect and the transition into the fender is not enough to create a restriction but it does turn the intake into a true cold air unlike the k&n's.
"Really? If the VE of an engine increases, is it not worth it?"
yes IF ve is increased it is worth it, but the slight gain you might see at high rpm's (on a stock engine) from a intake is not worth the amount people pay unless your the one trying to sell them.
Emaxxer i have seen your work and you seem intellegent how is it you do not see the insanity in the "a intake and exhaust will turn your truck into a racecar" mentallity that surrounds these mods? Im not trying to brain wash anyone and if your shinny new k&n intake makes you like your truck more awesome, But at the same time it is just as beneficial to try and look past the marketing that surrounds these products to try and make informed decisions.
