The closed box ones are technically the best as they force the air to come in strictly from outside versus the engine-however I installed one on my Silverado to get rid of the clunky stuff that doesn’t need to be there
is it possible to get that plexi glass cover? i just ordered me one of these and accidentally got the one with the chrome top :( too late to cancel the order
I bought a 2001 f150 king ranch, named it Gary from your build Larry. I actually ordered this same I take for my truck and it still hasn’t even shipped yet. Glad to see the build though keep up the good work.
My biggest thing on the cold air intake is to make my exhibit sound better. 2014 Silverado 5.3 short tube headers Borla atak exhaust system. SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!
Gotta love the simple but good install videos. I’m considering getting one for my ‘07 F150 King ranch and this makes me want one more lol. I’m so pumped to see when you buy a new f150😉😉
Im at the point as well in my stage of biulding up my GMT800 escalade AWD 6.0 and this Intake looks to be the part. Im deff getting this to compliment the performance pipe setup after it gets done. Awesome man. good review Also i might custom modifiy the hole at the bottom of the box and make it 3 in hole and place a tube about 5 inches down so it can soak up more air directly.. dam i cant wait to get my hands on this for my truck!
Would've been easier to line up the maf. If you put the screw through the maf. Put gasket on throw it through and repeat. But either way very helpful and well done videos love them, have the same truck but a 3/4 ton, stumbled upon your videos and loved them finally given me the motivation to do the small odds and ends to beef the truck up and save her from the rust belt.
Super clean truck 🤙🏻I love this gen. They are very good trucks! There are 2 local to my town in Alabama that are just like this and stupid clean. 1 of them is a red 4 door 4x4 6.0 maxx. 1500. Super rare.
I have a cold air intake (along with many other upgrades) and it MOST DEFINITELY helps. Better mpg, turbo spools faster, and the turbo sounds a ton better.
@@josephmimun9427 it’s got a lot of stuff done. Injectors, full system, fuel delivery spring, upgraded turbo, tuned. But I had all that with a normal intake and I noticed a difference after putting on the cold air
I got a 2016 5.3 Silverado with a k & n intake, Tune, and throttle body spacer, with dual exhaust and I don’t notice much gains. I’m starting to think without headers and a cam the little stuff is useless.
If you have the 5.3 then I'd suggest you find the 6.2L intake and throttle body. They bolt right up to the 5.3, it's a pretty easy swap, and you'll get noticeable gains throughout the powerband.
If you improve air in such as intake, throttle body, and intake manifold then you do need to improve air out with headers and less restrictions(cats, muffler). Cam is always going to get great results in a ls truck bc they stock cams are a joke.
Since a Cold Air Intake is suppose to take cool air from the front of the Truck and not the Engine compartment, if that is the case then my Silverado came with a Cold Intake from the Factory. The Air Box only receives air from the Front of the Grille, no engine hot air involved. Yes the Air Filter is not exposed and flat, but it operates on the same principle.
very tempting air box just due to how clean it is. I need to replace a ebay intake that came on a truck i just bought but for the price of this unit i could just buy a stock box again and have extra cash to buy other things the truck needs
Looks good, I see this and think: "if I got one id be able to see if something is trying to make a nest without unbolting the box to look under the stock filter every time I check" lol
I bought overtime every CAI you possibly could for an 05 cateye that I had, the one I hated the most is this one you just bought lol I'm just lookin out, but your going to start finding little blue pieces of that honeycomb filter in your throttle body and intake once you start putting some time on it, that was my experience with volant, I bought it because I liked the sealed box as well
@@lmfscrew what is the update? I just refound your channel after getting my 05 Sierra SLT Z71. It needs quite a bit of work but I’m looking forward to working on it with my sons and friend
@@lmfscrew Awesome! I am personally fixing up an 02 f150 right now, its been wrecked bad, but I'm following what you do on larry to kinda see how stuff would look on my truck! Thanks for the great content!
I feel like for the cost of the volant intake you should get a washable filter instead of having to pay another $125 to replace the filter when it gets dirty.
I think they definitely look cool but honestly doubt it's giving any mechanical benefit over a high performance filter in a factory air box as the airflow is the same only the surface area and filter material would potentially effect airflow. Then even it does breath easier that would only improve performance if the factory one is so bad that it forces the ecm to reduce fuel flow to get the proper air/fuel mixture.
Hey Man Love the videos just bought a 03 sierra 1500hd am definitely gonna put the Volant air intake system but had a question what long pipes did you go with for the headers I want to do the same with my exaust
What’s a good cold air intake for my 2013 5.3? It’s completely stock right not but I’m gonna change that and it’s getting exhaust work done to it next week so I’d like to get a cold air intake asap
After having a S&B on your old truck what made you go with the Volant this time? I’m looking for a cold air intake for my truck to replace the eBay hot air intake that was on it when I bought it. I was looking at the S&B but the Volant looks better to mr so I’m just curious why you made the choice you did
I have the same question. What made you choose Volant after having multiple S&B’s? On my ‘17 Silverado, I tried the Airaid and added a better filter, and have the RC CAI now. RC sounds better, but Airaid felt like it pulled better. Considering the price jump to S&B (after watching you rave about them lol) but independently considered Volant. Now I see this video, and am even more undecided lol. Is the a noticeable difference between the two? Thank you!
Hey brother was watching you other videos and I had a question I got a 2 wheel drive 2015 GMC Sierra I recently installed a 3 inch leveling kit stock back I know you recommended to upgrade your upper control arms if I should how soon
They came on the truck if you watched the video of him showing the new truck they were already on there. But if you want headlights like that go on google type in your year sierra and they will show you all the headlights they make for our sierra’s. And then you pick your poison
Scotty Kilmer says they’re no good. I had an Air Raid on my 99 Sierra for 18 years but finally return to stock. Still got JBA shorty headers and a Magflow exhaust.
That's just to sound cool when you tell your homies that you have a"cold air intake" I was 22 when I installed mine on my 04 Silverado but before that i dyno it at my buddy shop and also after i installed it did it again. I only gain almost 2 hp and my gas mileage went down. That upgrade is no good
Just look up on the internet and here on youtube , if a cold air intake really works, and youll get alot of mixed answers thats what hes refering to in the begining of the video.
What's up brotha wanted to ask how you like the Volant for your 01 5.4 thinking about getting one for my 03 5.4 currently has an open k&n drawing alot of heat from the motor
The closed box ones are technically the best as they force the air to come in strictly from outside versus the engine-however I installed one on my Silverado to get rid of the clunky stuff that doesn’t need to be there
I have a S&B should I remove the bottom plug in it?
Dose this work for a 2002 Cadillac Escalade
I have S&B closed box on my ‘16 Silverado. 1 thing we can all agree on is they definitely look better than the big ole factory set up
Chase these are my favorite videos of yours, I know I’ve said it many times but it’s true. Your tutorials and explanations are on point!! 🙂
I’ve always used k&n with an open filter and loved it. Intakes are a must
Volant powercore is the way to go. Looks clean. That clear cover is sick… Got it on my 05 LM7 might need to get that see thru cover
is it possible to get that plexi glass cover?
i just ordered me one of these and accidentally got the one with the chrome top :(
too late to cancel the order
I literally bought this exact same CAI for my 5.3 Yukon like a month ago, crazy I found this channel from a blown up Silverado.
Ready to see the leveling kit vid and I think we all needa see the 24s and 33s on the Sierra! keep up the great vids chase. Loving em
if you put 24s on something it needs to have at least a 35, lol
@@lorenzoholt5053
That’s your opinion.
@@Jay-hp6pu that’s the opinion of anyone who wants enough sidewall to know ride like crap lmao
That cold air intake looks great ! I’m sure that it will increase your mileage and throttle response! Thanks for sharing your video! Handyman Dave!

A tune with the intake would make more of a bigger difference

I really like this truck. The way it is set up is perfect.
Volant’s power-core seems like a really solid choice

Just bought one for my 2005 GMC Sierra crew cab SLE
Identical to this truck
But all blacked out
Love your truck and these videos
U recommend feel any more difference like power?
Colored matched finder flares would look goof
I have the same one, back when I was just intake, tune and exhaust it made the engine sound wayyy better
It’s like a dagum slip and slide 😂😂😂 I loved that part
Gonna be getting a cold air intake on my 5.0 in the near future. Hopefully it’ll liven it up even more.
Most definitely Larry video. I like the intake look good on the 5.3 I might put that on my Tahoe withe the 102 throttle body set up.
Love your videos I just bought one these thanks to you I’m try it out

5.3 runs hot. You need to box in the intake. Volant is $$$$ but the clear lid looks nice! My suburban isn’t a garage queen tho

Need to put those 12 wides on the gmc 👊🏼
Clean truck, thats exactly what im looking for
Good choice I had a 2005 and a 2006 cateye Chevrolet I put that very intake on them it is a good intake

You have to tune them with a exhaust and feel a real difference
I was just looking at that system. Looks like you're in the South, bama Road signs looks like. Reckon I'll subscribe
I feel like for the cost of the volant intake you should get a washable filter instead of having to pay another $125 to replace the filter when it gets dirty.
seen those wheels and tires in the back👀
Should have done a 0-60 before and after
I think they definitely look cool but honestly doubt it's giving any mechanical benefit over a high performance filter in a factory air box as the airflow is the same only the surface area and filter material would potentially effect airflow. Then even it does breath easier that would only improve performance if the factory one is so bad that it forces the ecm to reduce fuel flow to get the proper air/fuel mixture.
What gas mileage did it end up giving you? Did you get an increase?
That exhaust needs to go! True dual axle dump!
Stock ls intakes are good for 450 hp… should have spent money on a tune….. good luck with build
I would say closed box would work better than open filters engine heat is the killer.. free flowing closed box would be good
Love the vids man keep it up!
I ordered an intake from them on the 9th and I haven't gotten it yet. Just wondering how long it took for you
Hey Man Love the videos just bought a 03 sierra 1500hd am definitely gonna put the Volant air intake system but had a question what long pipes did you go with for the headers I want to do the same with my exaust
Dope man keep it coming!
Wow that is a lot different from the one I had the one you showed a picture of at the beginning that was the one I had
My 01 has a open box k&n it only has it because it was in when I bought It. I want to do a closed box eventually

Hey man, did you have to tune this thing?
I'm seeing some people claim you have to tune it.
please tell me this is just bullshit
only thing that would make that truck cleaner is if you had the fender flares color matched. PLEASE MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!
Good old Betty White in the background at 12:09😥
Should have cleaned the Mass Airflow sensor with MAF cleaner spray only. Don't use anything else to clean it, unless you want to F it up.
S&B FTW
Is the filter easy to clean is the question, K&n has a good cleaning kit for there products. I would disassemble and clean.
Do you think that intake fits a 90mm throttle body I’m looking at cai now for my truck
Any luck finding a good shop for a sunroof?
Does this kit have all of the factory connections going to it? Thanks for the video by the way!!

why do you unplug the negitave term i did mine with out doing it and nothing happened just don’t see the point
I am suprised you do not have a pro charger on that thing yet how sweet would that be?
Which do you prefer? Volant or S&B?
