Thanks!  I of course found it right after I replied.  Man it sounds sick.  I was debating on getting the OEM one from GM but this one is cheaper, bigger, and louder.  Seems like a no brainer!

It's legitimately huge (yes those are 5 gallon buckets it's nearly as tall as one) I wasnt sure it would fit until it did.  Here's a link to it for the 6.2L version.  https://www.sbfilters.c

Just installed mine last night. WOW! Directions are crystal clear, install took less than an hour, and it looks fantastic! The sound is incredible. If you DON'T want to hear it sucking air when you ge

That's usually how it goes... For the price, this intake is great. The fit & finish is great as well.

S&B Made one

Is that with any kind of exhaust modification? Sounds good!

This is with stock exhaust... It is a LOUD intake.

Oh wow, that is crazy the sound difference it makes. I am on the fence between the AFE Power Momentum gt and this one.

AFE shows HP gains on the dyno with 12% air flow improvement. S&B only shows 51.69% air flow improvement with no dyno results.

 

End of the video shows the sound somewhat. Pretty similar to S&B.

If you had to choose, which would you go with?

I'm happy with my S&B so far. Had one on my last 2 trucks with no issues, and its cheaper. Hard to say which I would go with since I haven't tested the AFE in person.

Were there any check engine lights or issues with the sensor with the s&b?

I have had zero issues. I turned the filter life indicator off, and have had no CEL's.

@GA_LTZ   You have to make sure you disconnect the battery for 2 1/2 hours on these new trucks. I spoke with the technician at

S & B. This allows the computer to relearn the new air flow of the CAI. And also turn off the filter life, and you're good to go! 

 

I have had K & N and Spectre CAI's but after installing and having my S & B on my Sierra, and waiting on my High Country, I won't go back. The price, fit and finish, performance, and looks are huge selling points. 

 

Now that being said, I think Roto-fab, Cold Air Inductions, and AFE all make very good products, so close to one another, it really comes down to PRICE!!  Good luck with your purchase! 

 

Have a great weekend!

Very informative post, thanks! It’s down to the S&B and the AFE for me at this point. The S&B is better priced so I may go that route.

Got this bad boy installed on Saturday.  Love the way it sounds! Drove about 100 miles and no CEL and throttle response response seems the same to me.  Sounds pretty mean and truck seems a little more lively but most likely just the sound.  One thing I did notice is that I do have a little vibration in the gas pedal when I step on it.  Is that normal lol?

Just installed mine today. I’m getting the same vibration when giving It gas. Checked everything and nothing is loose. Worse obviously when punchin it. My first intake so hopefully somebody else will chime in.

Yeah I just drove the truck like 2 blocks today and didn't really notice it but I didn't push the go pedal very hard.  I can reach out to S&B tomorrow to see If they have any tips for us.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
