Air Raid MIT


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, looking for a little more noise out of the truck and want to clean up the look under the hood. I was going to add a tube, but the Air Raid site doesn't list them for a 2016 w/6.2, unless I'm blind. I don't want to spend the $$ as the truck already has a cold air intake from the factory (plus I'm cheap). Thanks for the help.

All the Airraid MIT tubes are the same for a 5.3 and a 6.2.  The only diff is the one for a 5.3 has a coupler that necks down to fit the smaller 5.3 throttle body.  The 6.2 coupler is the same size as the tube and the bigger 6.2 throttle body.  I went through this when I swapped my MIT intake from my old 5.3 truck to my newer 6.2 truck.  I just went to a local speed shop and purchased a 4" piece of silicone hose to use on my 6.2.  There is a used MIT intake on here for sale now somewhere.

I have the tube and filter from Air Aid for my 2015 Z71.  Noticeable sound difference, slight uptick in MPG.  No notice on the butt dyno

If you really want to improve the sound and don't want to get an exhaust I recommend getting a full intake with a metal tube. K&N is the only manufacturer I know of that does this but the resonance of metal vs plastic is huge. I did a metal K&N on my colorado 3.6 and it was signifcantly louder then my 5.3 with the MIT Tube and whatever gm "aftermarket" exhaust comes on the all terrain. Also with the stock air box you don't get the swishing sound and therefore I ended up selling my MIT. On the 5.3 I opted to do a s&b intake because it utilizes a paper conical filter and while more expensive the cleaning process for the oiled filters is a pia and can be problematic. I do highly recommend my S&B intake but if you really want more noise get an exhaust.

I vote cut out stock muffler and weld in a magnaflow or flowmaster. 

 

I like to hear v8 growl above 2.5k rpm. 

 

My buddy put on a full intake box and tube. You hear a lot of sucking and wooshing. Didn’t notice a damn thing for power increase. It is nice to see filter but I’m over cleaning those and would rather just replace stock paper filter.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
