Why is this? Seems like nothing fits an eAssist model. Even Weathertech floormats! I’ve pestered Banks about it a couple times.

 

Look here

I've also approached Banks. They couldn't care less. Most likely because there isn't a big enough demand for CAIs on eAssist models so the returns/profit won't be beneficial to them. Pretty dumb of them since I already have the measurements and they would just need to do the piping. Heck put it on a 3D printer and then test it out. Everything else can stay the same. It's just the elbow to the TB that needs to be changed. Just tells me anyone who says it can't be done isn't really interested in performance but rather cash flow. This goes for tuning as well. Vendors need to stop saying it CAN'T BE DONE. They need to say "I'm not interested in doing in it because it won't make me any money".

 

Can't tune an eAssist they say...WTH is on the ECM? the factory TUNE, tuned by someone. They used to say can't tune the 8 speed....what happened now? someone who really cares about hacking things because they like to, want to, or were paid to...hacked it and now it can be tuned, just more money and more of an arduous process.

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

Your link didn’t work for me for whatever reason. Says it’s gone or I don’t have permission.

I really like the look of the Banks CAI too. Someone on here said the one for a 2017 will fit. But, I’d rather know from the manufacturer.

Interesting...I can see the link right here on the screen and also pix of the link.

 

It may be worth your while to search up "K&N eAssist" and you will come across it.

 

As for banks and other systems, anything from 2014-2018 will not fit for the eAssist. It's obstructed by the coolant reserve. Either get plumbing to move the reserve elsewhere or plumbing to take from CAI box to the throttle body.

AFE makes great products. Good Value all around and perform as advertised. I've had a couple of set ups from a highly modded stock box with M.I.T tube and AEM dryflow filter, Which all worked well, but the AFE momentum made a noticeable increase in overall breathing over the previous set up. The dry filter works great, no oil and can hold a large amount of dirt and still breathe because the surface area is so great.  You can spend more if you like on another set up, but will not gain anything except esthetics if you don't like the look of the AFE. You can also spend less and get less performance.

 

 

The AFE gave a noticeable increase in torque and top end pull. Needed to reset the computer to see any gains, then it shined.  Otherwise it (the ecm) just starts seeing more air and matches fuel then your mileage tanks. Takes forever to learn on it's own (you really need a tune to take full advantage).

 

Sorry for all that - your just getting the filter? yes its good. Open up your factory box and you'll see more out of it (depends on the conditions you drive in/how much you want to open it up - or at lease remove the black connector piece to the fender).

Just out of curiosity, has anyone actually used a data logger to see the difference between the stock vs aftermarket on their vehicles? I mean like logged it for yourself to see and not just doing it for e-tune purposes?

Does this really make a difference? I always regret CAI after i get them cause i wasted a decent chunk of change on basically some some but they do make the engine sound good. I've been debating on picking one up for my 18.

To me this is the same result as spending Hundreds on another plastic box with a tube connecting to the intake just like the factory setup.

Do this, throw in a K&N or an AEM dry filter and save yourself some change.  If you want a true cold air intake install a functional Ram air hood.

The only time I didn't get an aftermarket intake for my modded vehicles was for my Subaru because it was proven that the stock box and filter flowed more air than what my motor needed to produce max power on my supporting mods. I did observe the same for my Sierra, but the sound of the intake is what eventually got me into purchasing it...I'm such a sucker. If I ever get a Telsa I'm sure I would be buying an exhaust and intake for it as well.

After a bunch or research I went with the aFe Magnum Force Stage 2 Pro 5R Air Intake Systems (54-12332).  I also got the filter cover and the dry element for those times when I might be out in dusty conditions.  Living in Oregon I needed a CARB approved CAI and both AFEs and Blackbear’s dyno results show a real increase in HP. I am hoping for a little better mileage too—we’ll see.  I also am adding a Borla touring exhaust to make the CAI work better.

I have a one-week old 2018 Silverado 6.2L, and I’m in California. I’ve been dechroming all week and replacing with black components. Having said that, I want to move to Intake and Exhaust next.

I’ve reviewed the thread, but didn’t see any recommendations on the best CAI that is CARB compliant for CA.

Any input on CAIs for Cali?

Thanks,

RC

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      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.
