Deciding between intakes

NYSierra4 · March 19, 2018

Not sure what your price range is but the GM Performance cold Air Intake is awesome! Goes really well with my Borla exhaust.

I don’t really have a price range but I have many ideas of things I wanna do so the more money I save the more I can do, haha. I like the look of that air box!

I have an ariaid MIT set up that is new with the dry filter that I bought for my 5.3 I wanted to put it on my 6.2 but the TB connector needs to be bigger. I've herd the tube is the same size for the 5.3 and the 6.2 so I keep the set up. I was thinking of selling it if I don't find the correct connector. Any know of the connector I need . Or anyone interested in the set up.

The Airaid site has a build your own section might check in there to see if they offer the collar separate. Thay also have a “chat” feature could ask them about it.

AFE's kit came with a reducer-tapered 5.3L intake boot and a larger straight boot for the 6.2L. I am not sure how Airaid does there kit, but it may come with both but make sure. If it was a straight boot, you could just get a silicon boot at any auto parts store but you would need the diameter of the tube, and the intake to source a boot. I still have my 5.3L boot for my AFE kit I would give away, but the tube is likely a different diameter than the Airaid.

I really like the new Intake. It’s done very well on some minor gains of mpg when I added bigger tires too. No complaints!! My advice though, buy a second air filter to swap in. Will save a lot of headaches waiting on the filter to dry etc before reinstalling

If you are using GM's filter it is disposable and not to be washable

Yep, but I bought 2 washable filters after I replaced it

what brand filters did you do with, are they oiled or dry?

Good idea bc that oil does take forever to dry and then you get oil on your sensor... warranty voided.
