That performance shop nailed it 100%. Just like headers there only good for motors that spend their time at wide open throttle and around the top end of max rpm

Why is a tune needed for a CAI? When I had my 2012 camaro I data logged before and after and there were no adjustments required. Rotofab does R&D hasthis high performance shop? Glad they are sa

Sure, 100%, as long as you ignore all scientific testing and evidence. Ignore all of the dyno charts showing gains, even the independent ones. Also ignore GM’s own advertised increases for the parts t

Ugh. That stinks man. I have waited over 2months for mine.   It’s in route Per UPS tracking# and supposed to be here Friday. If this new one is as good as my 18s was. It’s worth the wait.

I did install the Volant. Performance wise it is very close to the RotoFab. I live in Canada so with exchange the Volant is still pretty pricey. But much less than replacing the bottom part of the air box. The performance is good. The fit and finish is good. The pipe is super smooth on the inside, I was worried it wouldn’t be but it is. I wasn’t too worried about the look. I’m not showing my truck.

Install is done. Went ok. The 10mm nut holding intake housing box is kinda a pain. Need a small socket set or wrench. The intake cupler was a pain to get around the intake. Fit and finish is good. 
 

Man does it suck in air. You can definitely hear the difference. If u have an after market exhaust it just enhances it.

or this one

I just placed an order for the Cold Air Inductions filter. Saw this video by a guy who installed it in his Trail Boss, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J05bzfs2yTE.

There's another video out there by a guy who did a dyno run with this filter and saw I think 4-5 HP at the rear wheels. Not that impressive, but meh, it's cheap enough and it's something...

 

edit: found the other video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwpDqkqBCNg

Dropped the GM CAI in this morning. Didn’t even take an hour. Very happy with it, and can’t wait to hear it paired with my new catback exhaust, which the Chevy dealer is installing in about an hour. ??

BTW, anyone who installed the GM CAI... did you put those zip ties on that came with it? I didn’t see a need for them and the videos I watched online of other people installing their CAIs didn’t show them putting them on. Just curious.

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall reading somewhere that GM's Performance Intake requires a dealer calibration?

Yes.  It is included with the purchase of the CAI.

Thanks Nick,

That being said, wouldn't any CAI require the same?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
