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

That’s damn impressive but I think 55mph pisses everybody else on the highway... lol. 55mph seems to be the sweet spot though.

So what? I drive speed limit everywhere I go. I think it’s entertaining to see all the people behind me squirming from impatience. Lol.

As long as you don’t cruise the speed limit in the far left lane, it’s fine with me! Lol. Otherwise everyone hates you.

Lol. I’m a trucker. I’m used to everyone hating me. But no, I don’t hog the left lane if I can help it. Except through Joliet on I-80. Too many potholes in the right lane.

So after reading through, I decided to go with an AEM DryFlow drop in. All I have noticed so far is loss in fuel economy. Only ran about a tank and a half of gas, does it need to run longer to reset or should I do something different? Wasn’t looking for any huge performance increase or sound, just wanted a decent drop in. Anyone have any thoughts? Also, should I be running mid or premium vs regular?

Does the airaid MIT add any drone?  

 

If I go CAI, I want to stay with a dry filter.  What CAI kits are recommended?

Made a custom 4” tube to mate up with my l86 throttle body and manifold swap. No pcv ports on it since I have mine vented to atmosphere. Also we do powder coating at my work and had mine done in wrinkle black. 72568ddc7cbc329804c8e1ee1b9ef514.jpg

they all have a hum or drone, because your removing the resonator wich is what keeps it quiet.. 

I ilike the sound, and find the Airaid pipe works great and all the pcv lines fit into it..  one trick no one really does is remove the airbox restrictor panel, this increases airflow , but to be honest , unless your running a cam with ported heads, you will not make any more power than stock set up.  use the stock paper airfilter it works great, aftermarket filters are shit and probably made in china

It's not quite a "drone" really. It is louder, but not a drone. Sounds nice. Try and ride in someone truck, or even car, with it installed. Unlike an exhaust drone, the added noise will not hurt your head. After years of being married, I've become very sensitive to noise. CAIs provide pleasant notes.

Had a full K&N CAI for maybe 2 months max. I’m not a fan so went back to stock. Waste of money in my opinion. Up for sale 

I was getting worse gas mileage 

response was horrible almost like waiting for a turbo to kick in 

noise was annoying to me. 

 

Today i installed  the Airaid MIT and K&N filter -kept the stock air box 

Test drove after - no annoying “kick in noise” and the response is so much better. 

200.00 total compared to 300 on the CAI kit.

The reason for the issue you are describing is caused by altering the MAF housing in any way from factory which the k&n cai does. It requires a tune. Even the airaid will benefit from a tune but since the factory MAF housing is still being used, the tune won’t need adjustment.

I cannot find any review on the GM drop in filter 84520923 other than it is outrageously expensive. Ok to assume that GM is just pricing because they can, and there are no tangible benefits to this drop in filter? My understanding it is disposable under regular intervals, not washable or extended run? Has anyone tried to measure this filter. I am very curious in OEM accy's as my prior experience with GMC dealers was abysmal to say the least and that if you do not want to take CAI and filters off the truck every time for service, you choice is to pay GM prices while truck is in warranty. 10% increase at 99.5% efficiency is easily beat by almost any other aftermarket intakes and filters. I have searched but cannot locate good analysis on this filter. 

 

Thanks for pointers!

The Dyno results are very good with the stock OEM Airbox with a K&N drop-in filter and the Airaid MIT.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
