Anyone have any experience with the Cold Air Inductions intake? Looks similar to the Rotofab, but uses the factory lower box. Considerably cheaper, but looks to be well built. https://www.coldairinductions.com/shop/cold-air-inductions-products/cold-air-intakes/chevrolet/silverado/2019-2020-silverado-and-sierra-1500-6-2l-truck-cold-air-intake-textured-black-512-0105-6-b/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

These look as good as any aftermarket option that i've seen. I would really like to keep the red and only black out the chrome part. I may be resorting to plastidip at this rate, but those look good.

Lol, I wish brother. Unfortunately I'm right smack in the middle of the country. Field trip? ?

Any updates on your thoughts with this system? What are you experiencing at highway speeds, any drone, louder in the cabin than expected, etc? I am most intrigued by this system and wanting to go with the S-type over the GM option, but I do frequently make trips to our lake house (about 3.5 hours each way) and I don't want it to be obnoxious on longer road trips.

I haven't been around a 6.2 with either of these exhaust systems yet to hear how they sound in person. Has anyone heard them in comparison to the Toyota TRD Performance dual exhaust? I had this on my last tundra with the 5.7 and was wondering how the GMPE compared in tone and volume to the TRD exhaust?

I'll be interested to hear your feedback. Also interested to hear your thoughts on CAI with factory exhaust, and then CAI with borla exhaust. Any "noticeable" performance differences from stock? Which Borla system did you end up going with?

I remember reading the thread about the cab popping when backing out of the driveway, and that crossed my mind if it was the same sound. Mine just happened running down a smooth highway at 70 mph, so I wasn't sure if I was experiencing the same thing. Hadn't read anything about the exhaust "complaint" yet, but if this is all common knowledge, thanks for the heads up and I apologize for repeating another thread. At least my mind can rest at ease now. lol

Has anyone else noticed the condensation from the A/C dripping onto the exhaust after they have been driving the truck and hearing the sizzling sound every time it drips when you get out and shut the truck off? I've had my truck for a little over 3 months now and this has never happened until this past Friday after about a 3 hour trip. Now it does it after every trip, even to and from work. I had my first oil change done Thursday morning, but did drive the truck back and forth to work Thursday and Friday before the road trip and still never noticed it. At about the 2.5 hour mark into the drive Friday night, I did hear a loud metallic sounding "pop" that sounded like a rock or something hard hit the top of the cab. It was loud enough it startled me and made my dog jump up from a dead sleep in the back seat. It did echo somewhat in the cab, so hard to pinpoint exactly where it came from, but it sure sounded like the top of the cab right behind the front row seats. When I got to my destination, that's when I noticed the sizzling sound for the first time. I just assumed it was residual washer fluid dripping onto the exhaust as I had just used quite a bit attempting to clean some of the bug splatter off the windshield. I looked the whole truck over searching for a rock chip or anything that might have been the source of the loud pop that I heard, but I could find nothing. Not sure if it is all just coincidence or not, but does anyone have any ideas why the route of the condensation would suddenly change and be dripping onto the exhaust? It's not that big of a deal I don't suppose, but kind of annoying every time you shut the truck off and it is a constant "drip... sssss... drip....ssss" for several minutes until it cools down.

Picking up rock for a landscaping project a couple weeks back. Truck tows great, even without having the Max Tow Package. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

How are these holding up, and what are your thoughts after having them for several months now? I really like how tight these sit to the rocker panel. I'm about to pull the trigger on them, but thought I would ask a real world user their experience with them.

When I purchased my truck a couple months ago, there was about $1,500 difference between identical trucks.... 1. with the 6.2L and 10 speed, 3.23 gears and 2. with 5.3 and 8 speed, 3.23 gears. I drove the 6.2L first and never looked back. For 99% of what I do, would the 5.3 be more than enough? Absolutely. But the 6.2 paired with the 10 speed is a dream to drive. I agree that the transmission should be given as much credit, if not more, than the 6.2 for the power and quickness. I can also say that towing a 6,500 lbs trailer through the hills of southern missouri was no sweat for the combo (even without the max tow package) and did not have to turn near the RPM's of the 5.3's that I've towed with in the past to maintain speed up long steep hills. At the end of the day, drive both and see what you like. It might be worth it to jump up to the 6.2 or it might not. That's why we have options. For what it's worth... I'm 2,800 miles in on the new truck and averaging 18-20 mpg consistently with a combination of city/highway driving Good luck with whatever you decide to go with

Installed a Bedrug bed liner this weekend. Not hard to install, just a pain in the ass to get perfect fit in some of the corners. Overall, I am very pleased with how it turned out and the product quality. Highly recommend pulling the 12v outlet out, d/c the plug, cut the liner to match the inside perimeter of the cutout in the bed and then reinstall the plug. This will help hold the liner snug to the wall as it tends to lay loosely from the sidewalls in areas where there aren't velcro strips. Gives it a cleaner look as well IMO.

New to the site and this has been the WORST, best idea that I've had since buying the truck. I had a lifted tundra with 35's blah blah blah before and got tired of the 12 mpg, so I told myself when i bought this truck, "I am not lifting it, I am not putting bigger, heavier tires on it, I am keeping this as efficient of a daily driver as possible." After a couple days browsing this forum and that train of thought is out the window. ?? Anyway, only mods so far have been OEM rear wheel housing liners, Undercover Ultra Flex bed cover, and FINALLY got a shipment confirmation this morning that my Bedrug Bed Liner has shipped after being backordered for 5 weeks. Future Must-Do Mods: Running boards, Chevy full floor liners front and back, clay bar, polish, ceramic coat, stubby antenna, 2" stick-on convex mirrors (got that idea from a post earlier in this thread), GM Performance Exhaust. Still debating on blacking out Z71, 6.2L, RST, and Silverado emblems Suspension, Wheels, Tires, CAI still TBD. ?

Thanks. It was cloudy and cool all day that day, and with nothing better to do right now (quarantine), I figured why not give her a good bath. Planning to clay bar, polish, and ceramic coat (or sealant) before summer. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Picked up a new RST with the 6.2 about a month ago. Loving the truck so far! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
