It's only louder on harder acc.  And its more a consistent sound.  The 5.3 would make noise then suddenly get quiet while steadily accelerating.   On the 6.2 it's loud while accelerating briskly the entire time your in it. 

Thanks Silver Sled

For those that live in California how are you buying the Airaid MIT tube? I've tried Auto anything and Airaid website and neither will ship to California.

I’m happy with the s&b intake, carven exhaust, and diablo sport tune. Truck is a lot more responsive

I'm in the process of trying to solve CAI noise on these trucks.  With my Volant and its POS design, the first ingredient was isolating the airbox from the fenderwell metal.  After installing a foam lining, vibration went down pretty significantly.  My theory is most of the other noise comes from the reverberation of noise from the hollow fenderwell area itself.  I think it really amplifies it throughout the cab.  If I ever get some effing time off soon, I'm going to stuff  it with blankets.  If that makes even an inkling of difference, I'm going to line it with sound deadening material.  We'll see.

Im sure this has been covered. But does anyone have proof that any gains seen, don't disappear soon as the ecm learns...

Just seen that SLP has a cai available, on the 6.2 states gaines of 11.3 RWHP @ 3850 rpm and 15.5 RWTQ @ 3800 rpm. Sounds good, also stats does not need ecm recalibrated and doesn't void factory warranty. For what it's worth.

I went with the Volant CAI on my '17 Sierra. The install was straightforward. All parts were of high quality, and fit and finish were well above average. The performance gains were pretty noticeable. I followed the instructions and disconnected the battery, to erase the PCM memory. The sound is nice. I am going to purchase the latest Diablosport tuner to work with my '17.

I installed the gm CAI on my 2014, just purchased a replacement filter 23231630 from the dealer. 100 bucks and some change, took a week for the dealer to get it. I noticed on the box it was shipped for K&N engineering in CA. I have looked on the K&N website and could not find an exact match. 

 

So does anyone known what the part number would be, in the hopes of saving some cash in the future.

Did the K&N cold air intake. I’m a big fan of this system and my mileage has never been better.

I will say, Under about 1200rpm - 1800 or so, it gives off a bit of a lower burble or Metallica sound. Once it gets above 1800rpm or so. It sucks air like a beast and sounds great.


Anyone else have this?

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
