  1. Looks awesome! Trying to do same on '18 Yukon Denali, did you use letter inserts or replaced the entire emblem?
  2. You're not crazy as they also fell short of my expectations. Though it's a great upgrade and would do it again, I was hoping the unit would project the light out with cutoff on top only (such as projector normally do) yet shine a sliver as ppthere's a bottom cutoff which would be useful to illuminate the road lower/closer to the front of Yukon. Regardless, total output and lighting is more than stock and worthwhile to do. Here are pics, first of just Morimoto LED fogs and 2nd with stock lows on garage then fogs only on road.
  3. I'm experiencing the same vibration and found the issue to be the mounting of catch can to brake booster. Now looking for a better place to put the can. Where did you end up mounting it? Overall, UPR can kit is great just fixing this bothersome detail. Funny, I also ran CRC cleaner prior to installing can and thought I had somehow messed up the engine...
  4. I'm looking at getting some of these XB headlights also and wondered how one finds these promo codes? I wish I'd seen this weeks ago...
  5. ONLY negative issue of this installation is that after mounting the catch can on the brake booster, I started getting a vibration in the brake and gas pedals. After unmounting the can from booster, the vibration went away; so temporarily have it secured to upper rad hose as I need to find somewhere else to mount. After searching online, I have found other people experience this vibration as well. Fortunately, UPR stated they can send longer hoses, if needed, to relocate the catch can. Doea anyone have a mounting location that would require drilling a hole?
  6. The stock intake tube/resonator is not too bad as you can see it fairly smooth except for the flex section. I was surprised to see that it sort of has "catch" areas where the fittings from the valve covers plug into box in an attempt to slow carbon/sludge build up (I assume). When looking at the the wetness inside the intake, I tilted stock tube when some oily residue dripped out. So hopefully the UPR kit will keep me clean for the years to come. Prior to install, I put in a can of CRC GDI Intake cleaner to make sure everything is clean as possible. If anyone runs a intake cleaner, you can place plastic hose thru the manifold port where PCV would fit as it's perfectly placed in middle of manifold and should eventually disperse cleaner (see last pic thru throttle body)
  7. Complete install of Airaid intake & filter and UPR catch can & CSS took me about 30 mins at a "take your time" speed. I also put a trace film of silicone grease on all fittings that had O rings to prevent seized parts later. UPR kits easily installs with its plug n play connection.
  8. Airaid kit quickly installs with a smooth out intake tube and high-flow filter media. You reuse the stock box which is suffice and already is cold air with inflow come from fender. There is slight increase of "intake" growl that I find enjoyable without the loud drone. TIP: carefully tighten the plastic fittings into the intake tube as I broke one by accident and had to put lots of plastic-weld to make it work.
  9. Hello everyone! Finally installed my UPR can and Airaid intake last week and wanted to give some feedback to anyone interested in something similar. Back story is that we bought a 2018 Yukon XL Denali in Dec then had all lifters n cam replaced 2 weeks after due to dreaded tick on engine with 33k miles. As tech said internals are clean, I decided to go with a can to protect investment especially aftering asking tech and service manager about them and its impact on the warranty. They stated as long as warranty claim isn't affected by catch can, there wouldn't be any issue. Anyways here's some pics of the installation (plenty of videos are available to walk you through it) The UPR kit is well designed for a clean and OEM look.
  10. Thanks for the feedback!!! Got next to an Escalade and sure enough its headlights are same shape yet bigger... damn it. After checking out reviews on D3S, it seems Osram Night Breaker Laser and Philips XV2 are the only bulbs that put more lux than stock. As for highs, still thinking of Morimoto 3.0 LED. However, you planted the seed of just getting the Morimoto XB complete units; especially when I consider the cost for the bulbs alone. I've searched for any review on those awesome XB LED headlights yet can't find any beside Morimoto's promo video. I'll hold off until some real world reviews/experience come back on their actual performance. Hopefully they'll be on sale soon too; along with their LED fog assembly. FYI, I got GTR Ultra LED in plate and reverse spots and boy what a difference in look/style as well as light output. Here's some pics for comparison:
  11. Has anyone put the Cadillac's LED headlights into a Yukon? I've got a 2018 YukonXL Denali with HID's yet always liked the stacked LED look/output and, while expensive, thinking of offsetting some of the cost of the Caddy lights by selling the HID's... Otherwise, I'll just upgrade the lows D3S to Morimoto XB, high 2Stroke 3.0 LED(bought housing extension just in case back of bulb is too big for tock cap) and fogs HID XB all at 6k color temp all from TRS. Are anyone aware if a separate CANBUS capacitor/module needed for non-stock bulbs? Also getting GTR Ultra LED back up bulbs as it's hard seeing at night even with camera. Feel free to feedback if anyone has used these types of bulbs!
