Welcome back, nice ride

Mike, ironically the damage to the suburban was caused by a pole (not by me), but I sold my Yukon to get a "less expensive" vehicle - I never crashed it. I wanted something more capable off road so I got a 100 series Toyota Land Cruiser. I love it, the thing is a beast but it runs on 91 and averages about 13mpg mixed. The payments are lower but it certainly isn't cheap lol.

Off road I'll take the 'hundy, but around town the suburban is great. Its a lot quicker and gets better mileage. Once the brakes are fixed I will be driving it the majority of the time. Now I need to look into building up that LQ4 motor I have laying around...

Hey man! Nice to be back, how are things?

Sister in law cute? Pics?

No, she's not. Ugly duckling sounds mean....but...what can you do?

So settle this for me, Max. AEM or K&N? Out of the box, what do you prefer? I refuse to run an oiled filter so if I got the K&N I'd have to add a dry flow AEM filter to it. Is it worth the extra coin to do that, just to have the plastic tube instead of the aluminum one?

I'll be hitting you up for one soon.

I prefer the k&n, quieter and seems to transition power a bit smoother. My truck has an aem filter on it right now lol. If business stays the way it has been this year I may have mine up for sale in a few months

Why are some people opposed to the oiled filters? Are there been reports of them doing damange to the MAF or something or like so many other things is it just a personal preference thing? Just curious.

Personal preference....

I think there is a stigma associated with oiled filters due to people's inability to rear directions on the recharge kits. K&N has done extensive testing, there is no way filter oil can get through to the maf unless you use the whole goddamn can of filter oil in one application but even then they have yet to see a failure in the maf. Engineers have submerged gm mafs in filter oil for extended periods of time and they still function properly when placed on a flow bench, I have never had an issue with oiled filters on dozens of vehicles I've owned or worked upon. I simply prefer the ease of maintenance on the aem filters specifically, all the other dry synthetic filters pale in comparison

As in selling the vehicle??

Never. Front mount turbo + 4L80 seems to be the next step so I'll start with the trans first + the plate kit that has been sitting in my garage for 6 months
