I have a 2012 5.3L Police package tahoe. Today I installed a Volant CAI. After the install I started it up and my check engine light was on. The vehicle had a very rough idle and drove very rough with constant hesitation. Almost like it wasn't getting enough air. So I put the factory air intake back in and it still does the same thing. Anyone ever have this happen and what could it possible by? solution?

Welcome to the neighborhood!
It IS possible that you were supplied with the wrong intake for your truck. Did it throw a check engine light? You may want to first, clean the MAF sensor, next, try disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes and reconnect it in an attempt to reset the system. It is possible that the positioning of the MAF sensor in the intake tube was off or wrong causing it to send a bad signal to the ECM which would effect how the ECM adjusts the tuning for the flow of air.
