They are all about the same, doubtful you will even notice an increase. AEM is the best.

MPG gains are about the same for all of them. 1-2 MPG. And that is if you can keep your foot out of it... Not easy to do when you're making more power...

Whatever you do don't buy an AEM ryan :smilielol:

Why do you say this boostaholic

EDIT: Think it was a joke, yea AEM is best I agree. Justin from blackbearperformanc eis doing a test on several intakes as we speak and will declare a winner

From what I have read the AEM flows the best, and you don't have to oil the filter.

I am a reader and haven't tested them. My boss has a K&N on his Denali, he also did a custom catback at the same time.

Probably would get better mileage but now he can't keep his foot out of it.

PS It shows in his Sig that he has an AEM

The results will be posted soon. We pulled the K&N FIPK kit off of my Tahoe for the test.

AEM didn't win.

Well it's the easiest to clean and I'll just add some nitrous or a blower if it isn't fast enough after tune/heads/cam/longtubes

That's understable. IIRC, it did come in second, and a VERY close second place.

Any update on this comparison? I am getting ready to order a CAI and programmer for my 2001 Tahoe and I would love to take advantage of this research.

Thanks,
Aaron
