Thanks, the JB-weld is just a temporary fix. I'll drill and tap the holes for a more permanent solution.

It sounds completely stock, but above about 50% of the throttle, I can hear some growl, not too loud unless I'm at wot.

I wanted to get rid of that ugly and restrictive box shaped stock intake tube on my 2014 6.2L Silverado, but didn't want to go aftermarket, mainly because they are overpriced for what they are. I wanted my engine to look oem, so I looked into the Airaid intake tube, but it was only available for the last gen trucks. By looking at the install pictures of different intakes of both NBSS and K2 trucks, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Airaid intake tube (200-996) from amazon for ~$130, and do a test fit. If it didn't fit then I'm out the return shipping. Both NBSS and K2 use a similar stock airbox design, but I was afraid that I'll have clearance issues with the alternator, since it's mounted on the passenger side on the K2, while it's on the driver side on the NBSS. So I got the intake tube, removed the stock tube and did a test fit, well, to my surprise the fit was great, like it was built for my truck, the alternator cleared by a mile. But the problem now was that, the NBSS use a single 3/8 breather hose, but the newer trucks use dual 5/8 breather hoses, so I bought a couple of 5/8 fittings from the help section at autozone, and 3ft of 5/8 hose. I took a 5/8 drill bit and drilled the existing hole, plus another spot that was right under the existing hole. The fittings were cut and JB welded to the tube. Meanwhile, I took one of the stock breather hoses and sliced the plastic tubing, that will be used to connect my hoses. I installed my modified tube, and took the truck for a test drive, the throttle response is slightly better and it sounds great, plus the engine bay looks much cleaner. The cost of the fittings and tube was less than $140, I decided to keep the stock air filter for now, but might get a nice dry filter later down the road, too bad it got dark and didn't take a finished picture, I'll try to post a couple more tomorrow.

I have the 2.5" RC lift with stock wheels and slightly bigger tires, went with 275/60R20 instead of the stock 275/55R20, I have some pictures here in post #198, I might replace the 2" block in the back with 2.5" to gain some rake. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/153363-2014-leveling-kits/page-14

I was between the AVS and the GM hood deflector, but I guess that I'll go with the chrome AVS for my ruby red silverado after I saw yours. Your truck looks SHARP. Thanks.

The underseat storage looks great! is that the AVS aeroskin hood deflector on your truck? how do you like it? was it hard to install?

My truck came with GM under rail lights, I bought another set from ebay for extra lighting. It was quite easy to install, I used stainless steel self drilling #10 screws to attach the lights, and spliced into the original lights, took me 1 hour to finish both sides. I still don't have any bed liner, but I'll have the Line-X sprayed next week. And here is the tailgate handle..

I just had my tailgate handle paint matched and added an extra set of GM under rail lights..

I picked up a second set of GM bed lights to install in my truck, it has factory installed bed lights but I want more! I'll cut off the plug that goes to the module, and hardwire into my current bed lights. If someone is interested in the plug, PM me and I'll let it go for almost free plus shipping.

Speedometer will be off a little bit with 275/60R20, about 1.5-2%, no big deal. Here are a few pics taken with my phone.

I have 275/60R20 Cooper AT3 with 2.5" RC lift kit, no rub at all and looks nice. 275/60R20 was the biggest size P tires that I could find, as I didn't want to go with LT tires and sacrifice MPG and the soft ride.
