Last week i installed the Airaide intake pipe and kept the stock filter and box. Im not sure about power but i am at least 2mpg better already. Same route, driving style, same 87 gas. Everything same except the intake tube.

Pleasantly surprised :) The growl is nice as well. $150~ from amazon.

 

there are several people from reviews claiming 2+ mpg increase as well from the tube/tube and drop in filter...

 

read nothing but good things about the MIT/Jr Intake kits...

 

will be purchasing mine in the morning!

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

I installed my Intake before my headers and exhaust and the only sound I could hear was the growl under the hood above 2k rpm. I don't see how it would have any significant impact on the exaust sound.

 

My gm borla touring rear dual exit sounds nice but I also have a set of AR long tube headers in front of it. Go get some headers and a tune if you really want get some performance as well. Either that or get the Borla Sport or Attack.

Thanks input. No headers or tune at this point, as just got.it and want no.warranty issues.

I'd be interested to know if these mpg increases are based on the trucks display or hand calculated? I have an excel file comparing the truck display vs what I hand calculate and the truck display is always 10% higher than real world.

 

I just question if the MPG stay the same as stock but the truck becomes even less accurate at calculating the fuel mileage.

Installed my Airaid Jr intake today...

 

Very minimal sound difference

Some throttle response increase (at least I thought)

And I think definitely a mpg increase

I was on of those that claimed the 2 MPG increase with the Air-raid full kit. How did you make out?

it does provide less restricted air flow but if you actually want an increase in power go with a full cold air intake kit.
Blackbear did some dyno test on them.
I had an MIT with a K&N filter and ultimately ended up going with a full K&N cold air intake that was on sale at AutoAnything.
The airaid MIT doesnt even compare. Especially if you're going to get a tune for your truck.

I immediately noticed a power increase and then once the tune was customized to it, it increased even more!

 

I would highly recommend a full cold air intake, exhaust and custom tune from either blackbear or DiabLew.

 

I'm currently on larger tires, leveled with a camper shell and getting better gas mileage than i did stock.

i dont have any real data to compare (only about 2 tanks through the truck before I put the intake on)... but it seemed like a 1-2 mpg gain on the roads i travel every day

Did you disconnect the battery when putting the intake on?

 

If so it might be in the relearn process. Just pay attention to MPG after you hit about 200 miles and that will be a little more accurate as to what it will stay at.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
