Intake Guinea Pig- 2010 Yukon Denali

[Jennabear]

We have yet to see an AEM on the 2009+ 6.2Ls, so we figured we would be the guinea pig. I had an AEM Brute Force on my 04 5.3L Tahoe, and was real happy with it.

 

Since our 2010 Yukon Denali is still stock, this would be a good time to throw an AEM on there and see what gains are to be had.

 

This should be here next week!

I have an AEM Pro Dry S Drop In.....I did it mainly so I don't have to buy new paper filters.

 

Didn't really feel any gains

Installed (without engine covers):

 

 

Impressions prior to being tuned for the intake: AEM, hit the nail on the head with this design. Very OEM looking, clean and fine attention to detail. Also includes a filter minder, letting one know when it needs to be cleaned just like the factory does. The AEM is definitely throatier at throttle, but nothing really noticed SOTP.

 

Impressions after being tuned: The throttle was much snappier, and pushed through shifts more seamlessly. SOTP say that that there were gains, definitely not huge like a cam or a blower.

 

Final thought: Would definitely purchase this kit again.
