More Horsepower for 2017-2019 Chevy Colorado & GMC Canyon V6
- 13 mars 2019
Designed to be compatible with 2017-2019 Chevrolet Colorado 3.6L V6 and GMC Canyon 3.6L V6 models, K&N® 63-3104, 71-3104, and 77-3104KP cold air intake systems offer a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque for Colorado and Canyon owners.
The 2018 Chevrolet Colorado is a highly-rated compact pickup truck, featuring a powerful towing capacity (7,000 lbs. on the V6 model), a comfortable cabin, and available features including wireless phone charging, forward collision alert, lane departure alert, and a Wi-Fi hot spot (among others). The 3.6L V6 engine offers 308-horsepower and 275 lb.-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2018 GMC Canyon 3.6L V6 also offers a comfortable ride, high-quality interior materials, and multiple tech features—including a rearview camera, USB port, Apple CarPlay, and a six-speaker sound system. The 3.6L V6 engine also provides 308-horsepower and 275 lb.-ft of torque.
For those looking for an extra boost in horsepower for either of these compact pickup models, the K&N® 63-3104, 71-3104, and 77-3104KP intake systems are all designed to provide outstanding engine protection paired with a guaranteed increase in power. With three options to choose from, you can select the system that fits your performance and appearance preferences.
THREE DIFFERENT DESIGN OPTIONS: ALL WITH A GUARANTEED HORSEPOWER INCREASE
63-3104 ROTO-MOLDED INTAKE SYSTEM
The K&N® 63-3104 air intake system includes a free-flowing roto-molded HDPE intake tube and oversized conical air filter designed to replace the factory air filter and air intake components. The included intake tube is engineered to be aerodynamic, and an oiled High-Flow Air Filter™ (also included in the kit) helps increase airflow to your engine—while simultaneously providing exceptional protection from contaminants. The oversized filter shape allows for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings (under normal highway driving conditions). When it does need to be cleaned, you can use the K&N Recharger® Kit (99-5000or 99-5050) to quickly and easily restore your filter’s performance. Each intake and filter is designed to last for the life of your vehicle.
77-3104KP POLISHED ALUMINUM INTAKE SYSTEM
The K&N® 77-3104KP air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent polished aluminum tube cold air intake system designed to replace the factory air filter and air intake components. The included polished aluminum intake tube is engineered to be aerodynamic.
71-3104 BLACKHAWK INDUCTION™ INTAKE SYSTEM
The 71-3104 intake system (part of the Blackhawk Induction™ series) includes a non-oiled synthetic DRYFLOW® filter, a black powder-coated aluminum intake tube, and steel heat shield, and offers a guaranteed increase in horsepower and exceptional engine protection from contaminants.
The DRYFLOW® filter media never requires oiling, and is composed of lofted synthetic material, which—much like High-Flow Air Filter™ media—provides depth loading properties. Each filter is designed to strike a desirable balance between airflow and efficiency, provide a high level of contaminant capture, and increased airflow. Because they do not have to be re-oiled, servicing DRYFLOW® air filters is typically a quick and easy process. You will also get a blacked-out, stylish appearance in your engine bay.
“Easy installation, very solid product. Already have seen an increase in MPG and performance.” – Glenn from Florida [Part No. 77-3104KP]
WHY CHOOSE A K&N PERFORMANCE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM?
The 63-3104, 71-3104, and 77-3104KP intake systems are all designed to help keep engine air cooler, which can increase engine combustion efficiency and help provide a smooth, low-restriction path for airflow to the engine. Your engine needs oxygen to create power; the cylinders in your vehicle’s engine need to have air to create the explosion that produces horsepower and torque. Since cold air contains more oxygen molecules than warm air, injecting a higher volume of oxygen-rich air into the cylinders allows the engine to burn fuel more efficiently during combustion—providing an increase in power.
In a typical stock air intake system, air has to pass through a thick, disposable paper filter, and then move through a narrow system of tubing that can cause air to swirl and become turbulent. Excess turbulence causes the molecules within the air to collide, creating heat, which lowers the density of the air and reduces the efficiency of combustion. All K&N® intake systems are specifically engineered to help keep your engine air cooler.
“Works well. Noticed a sound improvement, fuel economy and higher rpm performance.” – Kenneth from Florida [Part No. 63-2599]
AERODYNAMIC INTAKE TUBE INCREASES AIRFLOW
Since engine combustion is most efficient in an oxygen-rich environment, keeping engine air cooler often significantly increases engine combustion efficiency. Each K&N® intake system features a free-flowing, aerodynamic intake tubewhich is engineered to reduce turbulence in the air and helps keep engine air cooler. The 63-3104 system features a roto-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) intake tube, the 71-3104 intake system features a mandrel-bent powder-coated aluminum intake tube, and the 77-3104KP features a mandrel-bent polished aluminum intake tube. Each system also incorporates a steel heat shield, which helps protect the air filter and intake air from high temperatures within the engine bay.
“Nice product quality and easy install makes it even better. Definitely helps the V6 in my Chevy Colorado growl and makes the tune and exhaust work properly.” – Calvin from Colorado [Part No. 71-3088]
IMPROVE ENGINE SOUND
Factory intake systems often feature intake tubing with tight bends, baffles, and other obstacles that can slow airflow, create turbulence, and muffle engine noise—unlike K&N® intake systems, which are designed to give your engine a more satisfying growl on acceleration, but return to quiet once at speed.
WHY IS HIGH AIRFLOW SO IMPORTANT?
Maintaining the proper air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) is critical for engine performance, and relates to the amount of air versus the amount of fuel used by an engine for combustion. A correct, stoichiometrically balanced AFR produces combustion with perfect efficiency, excluding other factors. For gasoline engines, the theoretically perfect chemical ratio is 14.7:1—14.7 parts air to one part fuel. In effect, this means that an engine requires almost fifteen times more air than fuel for efficient combustion—which emphasizes the importance of providing a high volume of air through an intake system.
INSTALLATION
The K&N® 63-3104, 71-3104, and 77-3104KP intake systems are each engineered to incorporate factory mounting points and the factory mass air sensor. Installation can typically be completed in 90 minutes or less, and requires only simple hand tools. Detailed instructions are included in your kit, and installation instruction videos are available on our website for many applications.

WARRANTY
Each intake system comes with a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. Furthermore, using a K&N replacement air intake system will not void your factory warranty; in the U.S., manufacturers must provide evidence that an aftermarket part is the cause of a necessary repair in order to void or deny warranty coverage. The Consumer Products Warranty Act of 1975 (also known as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects consumers’ rights to their warranty coverage.
