Cold Air Intake Installed

Well some of you may remember this topic, http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=521

Today the CAI made its way here. The install process went flawlessly. Though the instructions and pictures could have been a little more of the actual product. It seemed as if the instructions were taken at the time of the CAI design and fabrication process.

I did need to use the OEM MAF, which was a PITA to remove from the stock air cleaner lid.

Though you can not really tell from the video, the air being sucked into the throttle body sounds wicked under WOT. I am very pleased with that. The throttle response is definitely improved over stock. You can definitely hear the CAI doing its job from the inside of the truck, which I thought I was not going to hear. It's not as prominent as my brothers K&N CAI he installed on his 5.7 Hemi Charger. I think that may be due to the truck having more sound deadening materials and being BOF.

Overall, I am very pleased with the fitment, quality, and overall performance of this CAI system. Not too bad at all for a total of $67.00. I highly recommend this product.

On to the pics and videos:

CAI Installed and Drive

Good write up!

Thanks, I try, lol.

Look at that clean throttle body

looks good sir ***** foot. This is before black bear tune. with 10 sheets of plywood in the bed..

Do a vid like this next time.

Alright mofo.

I just hate getting on her like that. I feel bad when I do so. Yanno?

its needs to be like my vid. In the second run did you here the tires breaking free from the first to second shift. I love this truck. I need to get a after Black Bear vid up. O yea. This video was computer generated and in no way real *saying that cause I did 70 in a 45 in the computer world of course*

does the filter it comes with seem to be a good one? i know someone that got a similar kit and the filter was a piece of crap. i just don`t trust no name filters.

and, have you seen any increase in MPG? i may have to pick one up.

thanks for the writeup.

The filter seems to be of decent build quality. I havent had a chance to do any sort of driving with her really. I just installed it and took the pics and video right afterwards.

Get some efans

In time.
