I run a full S&B intake system and you defenility hear the intake and notice a power gain, much more responsive. also S&B is good because the maf sensor does not change locations from factory setup. they also give ya a rubber airbox plug for bottom if your in a dusty enviroment or you can remove it your choice.
I got the Airaid MIT just the tube and no filter, diy ported my throttle body to get rid of the tip in lack of power, cleaned up the underside of the airbox lid, and cut out the baffle in the inner fender. It probably picked up 3 or 4 hp but I was mainly doing it to increase volumetric efficiency for gas mileage in the long run. I cut the out the inner fender and airbox first and drove it a few days and I can say that cutting out the inner fender and airbox to match made a bigger increase in noise and felt power than the tube did.
My 04 Avalanche,. . I did install. K&N filter. When it was new it does make a big difference in hp Gaines , however it is already a cold air box pulling through the fender to outside of the engine compartment,. The intake plentium boot does two things , first it's a vacum plentium, second it's shape is made to derect air under and through the intake manifold for added cooling . Leave it on
Same truck, just put a k and n intake on it definitely made my flow masters quieter and I haven’t noticed an Improvement on mpgs pretty much a waste of $300
I had a Airaid cold air intake with a throttle spacer. Magnaflow exhaust and super chip tuner with my 5.3 Sierra. It sounded like a beast and wasn’t bad on the highway. Fuel mileage wasn’t any worse that I noticed.
You are full of hot air. Get a gauge and check the air intake temps . Full blown cold air intake has the coldest intake temperature. Stock is the hottest. The factory box absorbs lots of heat.
This is the same thing as just buying the k&n filter from autozone and putting it on the stock intake . Should of went with the s&b dry filter CAI , it’s a closed box and uses the same vent holes as the stock air box . That’s what I have on mines and I totally notice a difference . You can hear the air being sucked when u floor it
Gains are between 4600 - 5600 RPM, and is used during passing events. Power and torque gains are real, do a before and after dynotune on your factory truck and then tell us there are no gains.
Been watching your vids for awhile now. I have a 14 gmc slt all terrain I bout 6 months ago with 97xxx miles an did the 3in front leveling kit an black in the back an running 20x12s on 305s an I just rolled it over 109k lastnigjt an havent had any issues with ball joints yet. The factory lowers on mine arent grease able an a boot was ripped when I I bought the truck so I replaced them jus to be safe. Looking at possible upgrading my uppers to fabtech control arms soon. Great video as always. Keep up the good work
Airaid in my 6.2 Denali full exhaust I went Airaid because its a true cold air not half ass'd cold air I saw a big difference at the top of the rpm and right as soon as I hit the throttle compares to the K$N 77 series.
I got the same MIT tube on my 2018 but used a Green filter instead of the AirRaid. Im running stock exhaust currently, and can tell a sound difference around 2500 RPM. There's a video from American Trucks that showed an install and a Dyno run with the tube. Didn't have any peak gains, but the curve gains were about 20-25 more HP. From around 4,000 to 5,500 was the curve gains.
I have a 2018 GMC Sierra that I just put cai intake on from cold air inductions absolutely love it I did have it Dyno tested picked up 18 whp after intake install. I did also put a jlt 3.0 catch can on it as well would be very surprised to see how much oil that catch can actually catch’s Also picked up 3 mph on a 1280 mile trip from the cai.
Lyle Bonney that’s what I was going to do. Can you notice a difference? I am also going to upgrade to Jet pro-flo mass air sensor as well. Hoping Santa brings it for me for Christmas.
Good video bubba. If you ain’t seen it, watch the American Truck TH-cam video on the same tube. They have a dino run of before and after and it shows the difference it makes.
I stay away from the full intake kits. Way to $$ for pretty much 0 gains, just sound. I will get the intake tube like yours cause of the clutter under the hood. The differences in power gains is when you get into heads and cam work etc. When you actually need the extra air. Then a tune and a intake will make a few extra horses. 👍.
Cold air intake will not add any real noticeable power, also got me a K&N CAI the most noticeable aspects were a slight change in sound coming from the engine and a bit better throttle response
The ad 3/4 through the video cuts right into the startup. If you have anything to say about the ad placement, you might want to move it a second or two earlier
I had the same air intake setup on my 2017 Silverado 6.2. Ran well. But I changed out to a full AFE momentum GT air intake. Truck runs much better and smoother. Also next thing you should look into for your truck is the jlt oil catch can.
Cold air intakes just make noise, waist of money, and yea heavy duty mud flaps might not look the best but good luck on all of those rocks hitting your paint from those tires.
GM Air Boxes Draw a TON of Air, I did the Exact same thing to my 2008, along with Exhaust, performance wires, delco Iridium Plugs and Tune, and got 50hp. @Imfscrew
S&B, all the way. If it's not a sealed box CAI (only open for the air vent on the side)..its not helping much. You gotta reduce the intake of engine bay air because hot air = no bueno. K&N and any "cold air" that's just hanging out...all ricer cosmetic BS. S&B also release all their test results so you can get somewhat of an idea of what your increase should be....usually 5-10 HP and 1-3 mpg increase, if installed correctly. It also adds a little aggression to your exhaust tone. I have one on my 2018 Sierra LT1 and mt 2020 JL 2.0T. You don't have to get S&B (though I recommend you do) but do yourself a favor and get a sealed box CAI and avoid that open air ricer crap. More than anything, just be smart and research, research, research.
You should of gone with a s&b cai which is a fully inclosed cai and much better quality but the airaid jr intake isnt bad either but s&b is better and very easy to install
I did the same thing on my 6.2 Sierra. You may want to look into the catch can and clean side separator. I installed that on my truck when it only had 1,500 miles. Helps to keep the valves clean with the Direct Congestion; oops, I mean injection engine.
Did it come with different fittings for the valve covers? I purchased one of these on marketplace in Gadsden and all it came with was the tube and rubber hoses. I looked at the factory fittings and they don’t seem to work.....
Done the same on my 17 High Country 6.2L. Airraid tube and filter now that's the best CAI anything better than the hammerhead intake. Also a catch can and cleanside separator since new
Love the channel!! Do you know by chance if the 2018 silverado, has a plug and play harness to install amp and subs with factory screen, that I don't have to splice any wires to keep warranty good. Talked to a guy he said that only the silverados with the bose sound system are plug and play compatible? Any help is appreciated!! TIA
thunder bolt surprised me but he did the dyno test and yea he might have tweaked something but it was a 15-20 hp gain on the dyno idk all I know is he posted a video of a dyno before and after
Does anyone know what that annoying whine noise is that these trucks make? You can really hear it on his truck when it starts: th-cam.com/video/FU8XfSKSFoQ/w-d-xo.html I've noticed some trucks make this noise worse than others. Mine is pretty loud and really noticeable putting around parking lots. It sounds like a bad power steering pump.
Ur saying stuff that isn’t tru and only opinion. Gains have been proven under the curve in the rpm range u r talking about. Intakes have not helped out much on top end. They make sense if you tow and have curve gains that are very usable. U wasted ur money on a tube and are gaining nothing but sound. Maybe some very tiny gains here and there but not sure where you got ur “generic” info on intakes for “this” particular engine and vehicle. Yes in some older and even newer vehicles the intakes won’t help but it has been dyno proven that a full cold intake does have gains on this particular engine and vehicle. Please edit ur vid. Or show some factual information and back up what u say.
Great video man!! Appreciate the shout out, update on my open box K&N coming soon!! Looking to see your results too!!
S&B cold air. The best out there.
Literally just installed my S&B two days ago.
Correct
S&B Cold Air Intake on my 2017 Silverado. Can definitely hear it and no disappointments in performance at all. Highly Recommend.
I run a full S&B intake system and you defenility hear the intake and notice a power gain, much more responsive. also S&B is good because the maf sensor does not change locations from factory setup. they also give ya a rubber airbox plug for bottom if your in a dusty enviroment or you can remove it your choice.

Love your vids man. Keep up the work. I’m building my 2016 Silverado and getting nothing but great advice from you 👌🏽
I just got a 16 myself.
My K&N on my silverado barks, even with a straight piped exhaust.
What kind u got
so does my cold air inductions.
Borla ATAK and S&B CAI on my 2018 silverado 1500 ltz z71 midnight edition...absolutely love it.
You are full of hot air. Get a gauge and check the air intake temps . Full blown cold air intake has the coldest intake temperature. Stock is the hottest. The factory box absorbs lots of heat.
Cold air inductions has an intake with a closed box with a heat shield. You hear the intake with it. It's a pretty good set up.
This is the same thing as just buying the k&n filter from autozone and putting it on the stock intake . Should of went with the s&b dry filter CAI , it’s a closed box and uses the same vent holes as the stock air box . That’s what I have on mines and I totally notice a difference .

I can really hear my cold air inductions! I like it ALOT

Damn you need some long tube headers to a borla. Instead of that popping clappy Carolina exhaust.
Lol borla

I put that intake tube and a K&N filter in my 2017 and my mpg went up 1/2 to 3/4 mpg per mile.
Airaid in my 6.2 Denali full exhaust I went Airaid because its a true cold air not half ass'd cold air I saw a big difference at the top of the rpm and right as soon as I hit the throttle compares to the K$N 77 series.
Make sure to wipe down the connecting boots because they do have a thin protective film. If you don't then the boot can slip off the throttle body

I just replaced the filter on my 17 Silverado don't hear noise but I get a little more response. Haven't driven enough to get fuel economy.
I have a 2018 GMC Sierra that I just put cai intake on from cold air inductions absolutely love it I did have it Dyno tested picked up 18 whp after intake install. I did also put a jlt 3.0 catch can on it as well would be very surprised to see how much oil that catch can actually catch’s Also picked up 3 mph on a 1280 mile trip from the cai.
I have the air raid intake tube with the stock box and it has a nice rumble at certain rpms
I was thinking about doing this set up but ended up going with an AFE cold air
Couldn’t be any happier with it, Close box and rumbles nice
I don't know which way to go. Do you think afe is better than this k&n filter with airaid tube?
I did basically the same thing but with a K&N filter that goes in factory box. Put in an Airaid modular intake tube
Lyle Bonney that’s what I was going to do. Can you notice a difference? I am also going to upgrade to Jet pro-flo mass air sensor as well. Hoping Santa brings it for me for Christmas.
Kenneth McCumbee sound yes and I like it but no performance gain or fuel economy gain at all
Good video bubba. If you ain’t seen it, watch the American Truck TH-cam video on the same tube. They have a dino run of before and after and it shows the difference it makes.
I'd love to put something like this on my 6.2l. It looks so much cleaner looking under the hood.
I heard that the petal commander on these trucks are a must.
I stay away from the full intake kits. Way to $$ for pretty much 0 gains, just sound. I will get the intake tube like yours cause of the clutter under the hood.
The differences in power gains is when you get into heads and cam work etc. When you actually need the extra air. Then a tune and a intake will make a few extra horses. 👍.
I love my K&N on 2014 sierra sound amazing and you def notice a difference in performance..
Brother S&b is the best down right I got them on all my Cummins and my wife’s 2018 5.3
Cold air intake will not add any real noticeable power, also got me a K&N CAI the most noticeable aspects were a slight change in sound coming from the engine and a bit better throttle response
I love that it uses the factory air box 🇺🇲
Love the vids keep it up man!
Thank you for the detailed assembly, this is very helpful. Nice 🙂
S&B cool air intakes are the best on the market!
This is 1 of the best kits for these trucks. Now it needs a catch can.
The ad 3/4 through the video cuts right into the startup. If you have anything to say about the ad placement, you might want to move it a second or two earlier
Stock box with the mod and the Airaid tube is all you need.
K&N is better, but you do you.
I had the same air intake setup on my 2017 Silverado 6.2. Ran well. But I changed out to a full AFE momentum GT air intake. Truck runs much better and smoother. Also next thing you should look into for your truck is the jlt oil catch can.
What makes afe better than this k&n filter with airaid tube?
Banks ram air on my Silverado, can’t beat the build quality and sound.
Cold air intakes just make noise, waist of money, and yea heavy duty mud flaps might not look the best but good luck on all of those rocks hitting your paint from those tires.
You should have went with cold air inductions. It’s a closed box not a exposed air filter.
Most major brands offer a closed box system. It's not a novel idea.
Another good video to look at is Leaman Griffin he did a cold air intake on his new 5.3 truck with dyno numbers before and after
What about clamps on hoses on the intake side.???
GM Air Boxes Draw a TON of Air, I did the Exact same thing to my 2008, along with Exhaust, performance wires, delco Iridium Plugs and Tune, and got 50hp. @Imfscrew

I have a S&B on my 15 5.3 hand down the best
My mass air flow censor has a screen Why is a screen needed. It only restricts air flow
Where did you buy your seat covers ?
You should of gone with a s&b cai which is a fully inclosed cai and much better quality but the airaid jr intake isnt bad either but s&b is better and very easy to install
I did the same thing on my 6.2 Sierra. You may want to look into the catch can and clean side separator. I installed that on my truck when it only had 1,500 miles. Helps to keep the valves clean with the Direct Congestion; oops, I mean injection engine.
It looks like it makes more room in the engine compartment, getting that big box off there. Can you get into everything easier now?
Did it come with different fittings for the valve covers? I purchased one of these on marketplace in Gadsden and all it came with was the tube and rubber hoses. I looked at the factory fittings and they don’t seem to work.....
Done the same on my 17 High Country 6.2L. Airraid tube and filter now that's the best CAI anything better than the hammerhead intake. Also a catch can and cleanside separator since new
S&B intakes all day
cam swaps are super easy on these engines. I did mine in my garage a year ago
Must sound amazing?
@@bennyb6071 I really like it. I'll try upload some videos in the future of it
Do you run a tuner on your truck or pedal commander? I can’t figure out what to go with on my truck. Chevy 5.3 Ltz 2014 1500
Please tell me where you got those seat covers
Nice one bro keep up the great work bro
I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado LT 1500, I was wanting to put a 3” leveling kit on it. What’s the ride quality like. Do you recommend it?
What exhaust is that??? Sounds amazing!!
How about ADD a Throttle Body Spacer ?
Love the channel!! Do you know by chance if the 2018 silverado, has a plug and play harness to install amp and subs with factory screen, that I don't have to splice any wires to keep warranty good. Talked to a guy he said that only the silverados with the bose sound system are plug and play compatible? Any help is appreciated!! TIA
I ran into this same issue with my 2019 couldn’t find a harness. Didn’t wanna splice so walked away.
@@cdizzle60 they make a plug and play. LLJ customs has a t harness with a converter. I think I paid 100 for one with aux cord
What intake would y’all recommend for a lly duramax
Afe power
Look up air box mod
S&B
Banks Ram Air
Factory. Leave it stock.
Exactly the way to go
Put a system in next with stock radio
What is the brand and style of your wheels?
Have you had any problems with warranty after added the range tuner?
Never had to use warranty
Let’s see a updated video on this!
th-cam.com/video/yaidIatWn7Y/w-d-xo.html
What exhaust do you have on there?
What exhaust are you running?
Do they have the intake in camo?
Awesome video! EARLY!!
Does this affect warranty?
Streetspeed717 made a video on the 5.3 Ltz 8 speed 2017 I believe n/a with no tune on the cold air inductions intake made 30 to the wheels I believe
Christian Thomas lol no
thunder bolt surprised me but he did the dyno test and yea he might have tweaked something but it was a 15-20 hp gain on the dyno idk all I know is he posted a video of a dyno before and after
So, was it 15-20 or 30? Story is getting shaky.
Nobody thinks you get 40% increase in hp. Open air filters don’t get the heat from your engine, so just speak about shit you know.
Are those universal seat covers?
We need answers what are they
Does anyone know what that annoying whine noise is that these trucks make? You can really hear it on his truck when it starts: th-cam.com/video/FU8XfSKSFoQ/w-d-xo.html
I've noticed some trucks make this noise worse than others. Mine is pretty loud and really noticeable putting around parking lots. It sounds like a bad power steering pump.
Where did you get your seat covers ?
I'm sure there are better places on the truck to spend that $200.
I’ll bet ya dollars to doughnuts this did not increase performance. Show me the Dyno results mr tuner.
You get what you pay for poor fella

I have used cold air intakes on my last 3 vehicles. I definitely have noticed better fuel economy. Really enjoy the sound as well.
