Cold air intake for 2016 2500HD

Grumpy Tooch · May 12, 2016

Hey guys. I am looking for a cold air intake kit for 2016 Sierra 2500HD 6.0 gas engine.

I couldnt find any posts about this so maybe someone knows something I do not. The only kit I could find was Airaid MXP kit from realtruck.com which turns out their website was incorrect. Airaid confirms they have not made kit for this yet, the one they sent me was up to 2015 and considerably different. All ones i could find were for Duramax. Any info greatly appreciated.

I am selling this kit i have if anyone interested. Kit info: AIR202-280 Airaid MXP intake system x/tube and (DRY FILTER, no oil needed)

Is the kit you are selling for the 2015? If so, how much?

Ya i saw AFE but shady on the reviews. Any personal experience? I also want a dry filter, oils screw with MAF I heard. What is the census here on that as well?

My bad, it does come dry...lol

Still would like to hear what you guys have to say, oil or dry

I own a 2015 3500hd. I put an airaid intake and throttle body spacer on. I will be honest and tell you I'm pretty sure I lost throttle response and power.. It seems to lag alot more. Thinking of putting stock intake back on. Just my thought.

I'm pretty sure its the spacer...lol NOT the intake. Those are proven power adders. Not possible to loose power with it. the spacer on other hand, there are plenty of posts here to read on spacers

Don't waste your money on cold air intake unless you own a diesel

Grumpy Tooch · May 13, 2016

Diesel obviously get twice as much gains but in no way is it a waste in a gas engine. The replacement of the restrictive air box and high flow filter is worth the 10+HP gain IMO.

Stihl3500 · May 13, 2016

That's what it says on the box... No way are you gaining 10hp.

Keep the 400$ in your pocket.

The stock air box/intake works well for these 14+ trucks. Save your money and put in a better filter. I installed 3086k K&N Intake and all it did is add noise. I switched back to a drop in filter and sold the cold air intake.

Grumpy Tooch · May 14, 2016

I guess for the price its worth it to spend it on a tuner.

So maybe just get high flow air filter and keep box. But why does the inlet have so many routes and is not direct. What is GM's thinking on that?

I would save your money for a tuner... I'm putting my stock air box in. All the cold air intake does is make alot of noise.
