Just traded my 05 Silverado SS, with a VaraRam CIA, a Zippy tune, and an upgraded muffler, think it was a 40 series Flowmaster. In on a 2011 tahoe LT.

I need the room for family, and we are happy with that aspect. I miss the get up and go my SS, and the darn mod bug will not leave me alone.

I am looking to purchase a CIA, I am thinking a Volant, a Cat-back exhaust, thinking MBRP or Gibson (sorry no money for the Corsa) and either tuner(thinking Edge CTS2) or a tune (think Blackbear, Zippy, PCMforLess).

Sold the wife on it, as more gas mileage......

What do you guys recommend.

From someone who does these upgrades to ever vehicle I've owned over the past 20 years.....save you money on the CAI....just weld in a Magnaflow muffler and delete the resonator......get a Blackbear tune (best upgrade by far than anything else....besides a supercharger/turbo)

These CAI and Exhaust systems don't do enough...if anything...to justify the cost. This is just my opinion.

If you really want a CAI go the airaid MIT with drop in AEM/KN filter. Those gain just as much result as a full up CAI.

Blackbear tune all the way, by far and away the best thing you could ever do. Trow some headers and y-pipe on and you will have some good gains for reasonable money.

Get a catch can too.

Catch, Can? Is a Tahoe Cooling system, just not up to par? I ran Purple ice in with the coolant on the SS, and run it on my Impala too, and it drop the temp bu 15 on the truck and 25 on the Impala..... If this would help on the Tahoe, I guess I will learn.....

Sorry for being vague, oil catch can for the PCV system. These engines like to blow by a lot of oil. some benefit from DOD removal in their tune. So far I have DOD delete and it still blows oil by.
