S&B Intake!

Philipgonzales3 · June 10, 2020

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!

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.
