I was thinking about modifying a Injen Cold Air Kit and cutting it right near the MAF....looks like their MAF placement is closest to the factory airbox location. It fits our trucks and has the proper fittings for the breathers off of the valve covers. This looks like it may work. It comes in black and polished. INJEN PF7064BLK

I just checked it out with excitement and noticed that it looks like it's metal of some sort. The metal intake tubes tend to heat soak quite a bit so I tend to steer away from them if I can find a plastic one.

I can tig up some nipples on an aluminum tube and buy rubber boots all for under $100 but haven't went that route because I want plastic.

 

Good find though...

Zero benefit other than not having to replace a paper filter every 24K. Most dry oil filters actually let larger particulates in the engine....IMO these products are snake oil and the benefits are no

Installed an S&B tonight. Install was easy. The air box is a bit bigger than stock, rests pretty close to the headlight plug. Have the butt dyno scheduled for tomorrow:).       Sent from

Just installed the AFE Stage 2si.

 

Impressions:

 

Build quality- (A- )It's pretty good, there is a gap on the seal to the fender.

Intallation- (A ) Pretty Straight forward...I broke one clip on a breather hose before I figured out that all you need to do mash downward.

 

Performance: N/A.....Sounds cool, no difference in the butt dyno, Seems to keep it out of V4 longer...but then holds it longer once it's in

 

MISC: The danged thing vibrates BAD under WOT throttle....I had to make shift shim it to get it to stop. I'll be getting some thick window gasket weather stripping to finalize that part. Other than that...we'll see if there is a difference in mileage. I think it might return some gains w/ a tune perhaps...stock not so much.

First... Why would it vibrate under WOT? Do you know what's causing that?

 

Keep us posted on any real world gains.

Yep, the feet aren't snapping into the stock location holes at the bottom....it's like the "AFE feet" aren't tapered correctly. I've pushed pretty hard on the sucker and it will not "snap" in like stock would.

 

I might go back out and try to force it harder.

Well, the thing sounds awesome wot....nice and deep.

 

Bad---- my wife hates it, son loves it....wife wins. I'll throw it up on Ebay and/or here. I need something quieter.

 

Power wise....nothing high, nothing low.....does feel more responsive at around 2300-3000rpm. Rarely allows the truck to swap to V4...I dunno if that's good or bad.

 

Quieter options??

 

I will say this filter is HUGE.

Can you use the intake tube to go straight to factory air box...

I ran the Airaid for about two weeks and ended up taking it off and going back to stock. It was a piece of cake to install.

 

Power wise, I feel like I lost a ton of low end torque. Had trouble breaking the tires loose from a dig. After going back to stock, no problem lighting them up again.

 

Gas Mileage, Lost 1.5 MPG, got it back after going back to stock.

 

Sound, Varied from sounding awesome to sounding terrible. Depending on throttle there are times it would sound like a drowning wookie.

 

Looked good under the hood, but the airbox didn't come close to sealing on the hood. So I know it was drawing hot air into the intake. I didn't throw any codes while the intake was on, I've never had these results from a CAI?

 

Anyway, Back to stock and happy. The Airaid will go on craigslist/ebay.

Funny stuff right there, I hope there is no patent on that saying because I'm gonna use it at least once or twice.

 

This is why I push that we only replace the intake tube to the factory box because nothing is more disturbing to me than the sound of drowning Wookies, I mean, what are you gonna do, you can't save them because they will just claw and scratch and just take you down with them...

The tube will NOT swap over to the stock air box. Good news: Put the plug on the front of the box and it's pretty bearable. Towed 90 miles today with it....def louder.

 

Towed ~4,000 lbs and averaged 13.7 MPG......and that was about 35 miles of city driving. Doesn't quite seal to the fender (just bought some rubber weather stripping). ....I'm going to give a few more weeks.

 

Also not sure it's a vibration from the airbox....it could actually be coming from that stupid adaptive exhaust valve...i've already got some clamps to keep it open.

Could you let me know the difference when you find out? I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks!! Tapatalk via iPhone 5s

 

The only difference is the throttle body size ... and you can make it fit with a little negotiating

Oh I got it on when I did initial install. I was just wondering if there would be any advantage to the one MADE for the 6.2L versus the one that I have...the 5.3L version. I have absolutely no problem with version that I have on my truck but would hate to think that I was missing something by jumping the gun.

I just installed an Injen cold air intake for my truck. Very easy to install open top but draws from the fender well. The difference in sound from stock to this is night and day when you get on it but it's not abnoxious. Dry filter no oiling and when I read their dyno test they had the highest gains I've seen and if you look closely it's around 90 degrees when they did the dyno. I have not dynoed it but I notice a huge difference in acceleration and response. Best part it was on sale for $240.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
