Let us know your thoughts after programming. Any noticeable gains? How loud is the intake? My last truck the CAI was so loud, I had to put exhaust on it.

Flashed yesterday. It feels snappy, but honestly not sure if I can tell a difference, it's probably just placebo effect...

 

I don't notice any additional noise from the intake, just the exhaust, and it's perfect. Nice cold start rumble, growls when you accelerate hard, but nearly silent at cruise.

I just installed those on my LTZ too. I wanted the ionic 51 but they were out of stock. I’m glad I went with the 41s. They look really good with the LTZ chrome theme.

Do they sit tight to the frame, I want something that doesn't hang to far down or out more then they need to.

They can be adjusted on how much you want them tucked under the door. I currently have the driver side tucked a little more than the passenger side. I’m still trying to decide which way I like better. They can also be adjusted front and back. There is basically no gap between the truck and the running boards. They actually have a little black lip on the inside of each board to make it look even more flush looking and hide any left over gap. Also the edge shape of the chrome on the running boards matches the Silverado door handle contours almost perfectly. I’m extremely pleased how the chrome ones look on the LTZ.

Thanks, just got mine Friday and I prefer the look of the truck without the steps but don't think the wife is going to like it. Currently the truck has the factory chrome steps installed by the dealer. Part of my deal is for them to take the steps and the crappy plastic bed liner off and have line-x done.

Nice!

 

Now just watch that rear window for leaks. Because it's not a matter of IF, but when.

Yea, I liked it without the steps too. But the ionic steps are pretty sharp. They surprised

me. I would’ve went with the amp steps but they don’t tuck under the truck very good on this current generation. They stand out too much on a chrome themed white truck. Those factory chrome steps don’t look nearly as good as the ionic steps.

? I know. Believe me, I'm a positive person. 

 

But spend some time on this thread, and you'll see this is a very real, growing issue: 

Just watch for it after these Texas downpours we've been having. You'll be happy to catch it sooner vs. later, as I did. My headliner was never stained, etc. so the damage has been minimal... because I was watching for it and caught it when it started. ??

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
