Airaid 200-985 for 2016 Silverado??

[andreej]

I would like to get an Airaid MIT for my 2016 Silverado 5.3... But, Airaid doesn't list a tube for the 2016 and Amazon shows that the 200-985 part number does not fit the 2016...

It fits just fine. Received and installed one on my 2016 1500 this passed Saturday. Amazon's vehicle fitment is total BS with a lot of things so I tend to find whether or not it will fit from another site or the manufacturer's site and then search for the part number on Amazon for the best deal.

[andreej]

thanks! That's what confused me though, the manufacturer's site doesn't even show it fits!

Did you notice any real or perceived differences?

Just a little bit of sound under acceleration.

Yep, just a bit more of a growl to it. It just looks a lot nicer than the big plastic box does too.

Not off hand and I'm at work currently, but if no one beats me to it by the time I get home I'll be glad to post an after picture.

Sorry they're late, but I got out of work late last night. Wider shot of the whole engine bay and then a bit of a closeup of the tube.

Looks great. Is it plastic tube or metal? Also. Could you show a pic of where and how this hose connects?

Thanks. It's heavy duty polymer. There is a 90 on the underside similar to the straight connector you see just up and left of the Air-Rad logo on the tube.

 

Here's an exact copy of the instructions that came with it that show everything better:

The Air Raid tube also has connections for the air-side oil separator if you're looking at installing a catch can, etc.

 

And I can confirm this does fit 2016 5.3 Silverados.

Well I pulled the trigger on these today.

Got it and installed it today. Anyone know how long it takes my dash to quit saying it is 32 degrees outside after reconnecting battery? It is 100 degrees out and it is affecting the a/c. I guess it is tied into a/c because it won't let it blow as hard since it thinks it's 32!!

I didn't have any issues with that. It did go a little nuts and had asked me to put the driver window all the way down and then all the way up, but it seems to re-calibrate everything else just fine. Did you just disconnect the negative terminal? If so, for how long? Had mine off for a good 45 minutes because it was hotter than hell and I wasn't in the shade so I had to keep going to get a drink and get the sweat out of my eyes.
