Much cleaner air
"I was hesitant to cut into my truck's body, but I am glad I went with an AEV Snorkel kit. It made my truck run better and much cleaner when kicking around the desert. I would recommend."

AEV Snorkel Kit with Air Ram Inlet 15-22 Chevrolet Colorado
Description
The Chevy Colorado is a cool looking, versatile pickup. Especially with the release of the 2.8L Duramax option in a ZR2 package, this truck has proven itself a serious contender in delivering fuel economy, power, and offroad capability, rivaling the most hardcore offroad rigs in a truck that can do it all. The professionals at AEV dove into this package and found opportunities there may be to improve upon the Colorado. With the popularity of their snorkel kits for Ram and Jeep applications, AEV went to the drawing board to deliver this great looking, fully functional snorkel kit that fits like original equipment.
Inspired by heavy duty industrial and military applications around the world, AEV's Snorkel Kit for the 2015+ Chevy Colorado was designed to improve engine performance by drawing in the cleanest, coolest air charge possible. AEV tests its snorkel kits extensively, both in laboratory and in tough real-world conditions. The OE quality UV-stable cross-linked polyethylene offers superior durability and performance, both in the laboratory thermal chamber as well as overlanding expeditions. Lightweight yet durable, the AEV Colorado Snorkel installs directly into the factory air box and can be combined with an optional self-cleaning Pre-Filter to further maximize particulate-trapping of up to 98 percent of debris.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This kit will NOT fit GMC Canyon applications.

About AEV | American Expedition Vehicles
American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), based out of Missoula, Montana, has been building custom vehicles designed to tackle the rigors of off-roading, overlanding, and general day to day commuting since 1997. AEV originally gained a substantial amount of publicity with their line of stretched Jeeps that dds a pickup-style bed behind the cab area, creating a highly functional and visually appealing work of art. This unique upgrade melded with additional suspension and powertrain upgrades from AEV has created a vehicle that many would argue should have been available from the factory.
With the Jeep market cornered, American Expedition Vehicles unveiled its lineup for the Ram Heavy Duty market in 2014, dubbing this new application the Prospector. The Prospector has taken the same approach that AEV has always taken, to produce products that serve a functional purpose and design and build these products to a standard that exceed even OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) standards. With the original unveiling of the Prospector at the SEMA Show in 2014, AEV has gained and continued to build on the notoriety they have had for years in the Jeep market, but now within the Ram HD community. While its true there are numerous other companies producing wheels, bumpers, and suspension systems for this application, you would be hard pressed to find another company that does it with the amount of finesse as AEV. And even more difficult, a company that has built all of their components to work in harmony with one another, but work just as well when used as individual components.
We at Diesel Power Products are extremely proud to have the opportunity to be labeled as an Authorized Dealer of AEV products because we know that without a doubt, we can confidently recommend their products because they truly perform as advertised, and fit like they came from the factory. Does the fact that they have a manufacturing headquarters in Detroit, Michigan just down the road from the automakers have anything to do with that? Probably, but we'll let the product speak for itself.

"Love it."
Yes i would buy again from DPS
"OK I ordered AEV Snorkle for my Bison on2/13/19, didn't receive any kind of order update, so i called 2/16/19 and talked to a lady named Bree, she did a check on my order, finally told me it was ( at that time) a none stock item coming directly from AEV to them then to me. . . I really think that should have been declared when i ordered,maybe then i wouldn't have been so antsy. . . received my order 2/1/19 , That being said AEV snorkel was great , the fit is unbelievable . . . better have some mechanical ability to tackle this project. . . read and reread directions, watch and rewatch video ,,Tube was purty tough to get in, i finally removed fender flare because flare keepers where fouling intake tube ( easy to get off tough to get back on) maybe i wasn't holding my mouth right but it went on after i removed flare, The toughest part by far was the inside fender bolt. . . i tried to invent a tool to start bolt to no avail, finally got my wife to come out she got it started no problem, so I'm tell'en save some time get someone with small hands to start this bolt, save time and profanities . . . looks great on. . just the look i wanted. . be aware that it does cut down on side viability some. . . next project Dura-Max tuner"
I would recommend
"The quality is amazing."
Q&A
- What can I do to make this fit a GMC Canyon 2017
- I do not believe it to be possible to make it work. AEV has huge bold letters that says it wont work on a Canyon. The fenders are different between the two trucks.
- Why wont this fit the GMC Canyon?
- Not 100% positive on that. I would assume because the body may be slightly different. -Ben
- Is It fix with Chevrolet Colorado Duramax 2.8 LTZ Z71 (ASIAN Market) ?
- Not sure they build these off of US market trucks, I'm not sure there is a difference in the body. Have you checked with your dealer? They might know. DppSands
- Can it be used wit the S&B Filters Cold Air Intake? Or would I have to go back to stock air box?
- You will have to use the stock air box with this product. -AH
- Where is the top pre filter? No one sellls it, where do I purchase it and how much is it? Why no total kits?
- Just the Ram air kit right now, nothing with the pre-filter yet. It integrates with the stock air box, a total kit would mean you would have two air boxes. To keep cost down they sell this kit without another air box. SNA
