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

I have a 3 week old 2018 Silverado with the 6.2L. I'm ordering the AFE Momentum GT CAI next week.  According to the info on their site, it appears to be CA CARB Compliant and Black Bear Tuning's Dyno tests suggest it's one of the best ones available. Along the lines of exhaust, I went with the Borla Touring exhaust - Dual out back and love the look and sound of it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I ended up going with a Magnaflow, and love it. Made some Factory CAI mods and added a K&N, but am still considering actual replacement intakes.

Thanks! Def gonna have to do it now. To me the back of a silver truck with the chrome bumper needs the pipes to help break up the squareness. Looks good.

Squareness is what makes the Chevrolet Silverado

Does anyone included in this thread want to sell me their stock air lid?  Mine someone has developed a crack and I need a replacement. I'm in MN but would be happy to pay for shipping if someone wouldn't mind helping!

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...

How do you "reset the computer"?  I am looking at modding the OEM box, adding the AEM dryflow filter.  Already have Corsa.

 

Thanks!

Yeah I'd like to know this as well. Ever since I added the AFE, I seem to have some anomalies with the drivetrain. Some hesitation, bogging, etc. When you floor it, it takes off like a rocket however.

True. I had an 85 short bed that was stolen. I’d still have it if it hadnt been. My 2018 reminds me of it because of the squareness. My 93 doesn’t seem all that square though....

Sorry to thread jack but will a Airraid MIT tube from a 2011 fit 2015? Airraid claims it wont but it looks like it should. Even if I have to buy another elbow or rubber boot. Figured they were just trying to get me to buy another.

Unhook the negative battery terminal and leave it overnight. This will clear all the stored memory. The re-learn will take a few tanks of gas till it re-learns fuel trims, shift points, etc.. probably will have to re set all other parameters as well (time, radio presets, etc...).

Not drinking any koolaid...plenty of empirical evidence to support my statement. Put your vette up on a Dino and remove the air box completely, and you'll see an even bigger output to the wheels. The point is, very little is gained by a CAI, Checkout bobistheoilguy.com, plenty of discussions there on the cons of any CAI. . Also, food for thought, why wouldn't the manufacturers just throw on a CAI if it improves horsepower? Chances are the long term negative affect outweigh the short term benefit

 

Better question is why would a manufacturer offer a cold air intake that specifically states that it doesn't void warranty, if it actually caused damage to the engine/system?

 

GM part number 84533096  does just that.

I've seen the Black Bear dyno runs on all of them, but am interested in the S&B setup for my 6.2.

 

Has anyone run dyno tests on the S&B CAI on the 6.2L?  I love being able to see the filter and really like the way it looks under the hood, but - looks aren't everything.

 

I'm leaning AFE Momentum w/ a dry filter...simply from the Black Bear dyno runs, but would love to save $100 and run the S&B.
