AFE Stage-2 CAI Review

Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System w/Pro 5R Filter

 

Pretty decent setup, but dont like the PVC simple tube design...its just too simple for the price of it.  Definitely let's you hear the motor alot more.  Which is really weird on the 6.2L with 10-speed and DFM.  When it drops cylinders to save fuel, sounds like your bogging out...but it's just the DFM saving gas.  Dont feel any increase in power, but to be expected with a CAI.  Waiting for tuner from AFE to get here in December.

This is the CAI I am looking at GETTING for my '20 TB LT 5.3 10 speed. Thoughts after a few weeks? Worth it?

Cant speak for the 5.3...but definitely make the truck feel like it responds quicker.

This may be a silly question, I have a 2020 5.3 Sierra. I installed the same intake but my whole system is loose and my check air filter system light keeps popping up.Where the intake tube and air filter meet in the air box is loose and I can’t for the life of me figure out what I did wrong. I’m still waiting to hear back from AFE. The weird thing is, after installing the intake, it was solid. It wasn’t til after the check airfilter system notification came up that made me pop the hood only to find it was loose.

 

Edit:

 

Went over the installation instructions again and snapped the filter into the air box. I don’t think I skipped that part I think it might have came loose while driving but I’ll have to check it again after a few hundred miles.

How did you get the check air filter system notification to go off.
