Best air intake system

[Timmer22]

Looking to put an air intake system on what should I get?????

 

[boostaholic]

Aem brute force part # 21-8000DP

Really easy to install and about $240 online.

I like the AEM intakes, but I would say K&N, I just helped a buddy install one on his 08 Denali and you definately notice the difference. Also K&N practically invented the custom Air Intake market. Good Luck :Chevy:

anybody know what is the cheapest site to go to to get the K&N intake system

I think Summite Racing has the best price, if not try Stylin Trucks. Good Luck! :Chevy:

The aem not only filters better but it is also a synthetic filter that flows better than the k&n without the need for oil. I could have bought any intake but chose the aem based off dyno results, design of kit, and the parts associated. We carry afe, k&n, air raid, volant, s&b, etc at my work and I went aem. Research which system is best for your needs but I'll stick to my brute force :thumbsup:

thanks for all the info

For sure best to do the research yourself and base the decision more fact then word of mouth.

I have haad the best luck with www.performancepeddler.com and www.autopartswarehouse.com. I got the K&N series 57 (50 state legal) for my 02 for $238.56 shipped.

I am a big fan of the S&B intakes. I ran one on my ford f-350 and really liked it.

How can the AFE magna force stage 2 say it will give an extra 50 hp.That is crazy as hell.When even K&N only says 15 hp but I do like the stage 2 with the enclosed filter.For $455 thats a little much,has anyone used these

The afe claims are based on an engine fluid dyno and not a conventional means of baseline whp vs modified whp. Afe flow tests everything at 1.5 h2o and has come up with some goofy numbers even though it is a proper means of measurement. I would look more at the real world test results for each manufacturer as some companies can provide information which is easily misinterpreted.

:iagree: Yea, definitely look at real world numbers, and if comparisons are available, look at those. i.e. baseline stock rwhp/tq on chassis dyno compared to rwhp/tq on same dyno with intake installed. S&B had comparison charts available that not only showed peak numbers, but the entire rpm range, which is why I chose the S&B system. Plus it is an enclosed system and has a composite tube rather than metal, which helps to keep the incoming air a few degrees cooler.

 

[ZIsbell]

See I'm not the only S&B fan! LOL I believe it the only 8 layer filter out there.

Well I still like K&N, but there so damn expensive. So seeings how I just bought an Airaid, I would say there the best! :Chevy:

I have an Airaid MIT (uses stock air box, just replaces the factory silencer tube from the MAF to the t-body) on my Sierra 6.0. I got it for a bit less than $100 shipped. I do notice some extra noise, hard to say if I gained any power as the truck weighs 5740 lbs. I'm not sure if an extra 7-10hp would really push the truck any harder when it weighs so much to begin with, but i like the old school sounding induction noise :cool2:.

 

[bigblackchevy]

I have a TrueFlow intake and it's similar to the Airaid MIT in the previous post.
I also have an Airaid Throttlebody Spacer. I've gotten 19.5 MPG on an all highway trip. I've had this setup for almost 2 months.

I have had the Volant on mine for about a year now. I love it and wouldnt have any different! Also it looks good under the hood!

 

[Getwired]

:iagree: +1 on Volant!

 

[bahollis]

I had an AIRAID on my last truck and it worked very well. I put a K&N 77 on my Tahoe a few weeks ago, and I love it!
