Considering a cold air intake on my 01 5.3 tahoe. Anyone have any experience with one on these trucks. Just looking for a little more punch when I step on the gas. This would be as far as I would go with any kind of mod just don't know if it's really worth it. How much of a difference can be expected?
Cold air intake?

Second the above. I currently only have the Airaid MIT, but a drop in filter is next on the list.

It made a difference in my mpg. Local 13 mpg to 14.7. Also sounds like a 4 barrel when you hit the gas. I can feel a little difference once you get upto 30 mph and kick it down.
The added gas mileage is a plus but looking for a little better response when I'm pulling the trailer. I saw one made by spectre for around $150. Looks like a k+n clone thar got pretty good reviews. I think I'm gonna do it just not sure which one.

I got one on my Tahoe... Pretty much all intakes are alike.. I would like to see this eBay intake go up against a big name brand and see if any number differences

Agreed. Would be nice. I would bet there is minimal difference
Seconded. I have the AEM filter, but I can't imagine there's much difference. Throttle response and sound are better, but I can't really comment on the mpg.
