I finally decided to pick up an S&B intake. Never tried their brand and they've gotten great reviews across this Forum. A couple of notes for people who are thinking about buying:

 

- I got on their site this morning and saw they were in stock. Great news! Except, they aren't. I called to double-check and their system automatically updates the website when they arrive but they have to manually apply them to existing orders. So don't pay any mind to what the site says about their stock levels. 

 

- They also said the lead time is shorter than it has been. He said they're running about 2-3 weeks behind right now. Not too bad and better than 1-2 months like before.

I waited the 2 months.... Headed out to my parents' garage (large enough to stuff the truck in.. mine isn't) Got 1/2 mile out and the engine blew a spring and took the whole motor out

You guys.   I ordered my S&B intake on Friday.   It shipped tonight. I have a tracking number. This is not a drill.    If you've been thinking about buying, now might

Put mine on and wowzas.. yeah, it's night and day.  Only time I am a bit annoyed is at light throttle it will sometimes "hunt" between that quiet intake and "let's rock"

I had to wait over 2 months back in June but it finally came late August and I love it. Worth the money to me. It’s a great price, flows lots of air, and sounds good too.

I'm hooking up my Viofo dash* cam today so will be doing a before/after on sound (stock exhaust).  I've heard some say it sounds great and others say there was no difference.  I know in the past, CAIs have added a ton of intake noise so hoping that's the case.

 

Side note:  Saw you put a "confused" emoji.  Thread on that

Gotcha Sir!  I read over your thread. Glad GM took care of you. Enjoy your new 6.2L and CAI intake.

Um...if you install this intake with the intake cover off. It is loud. There is no question about that!

 

The filter cone is as big as a small trash can and sounds great at full throttle when it's sucking in air. I've had mine for about 10k and It's easily my favorite mod...makes driving so much fun. I have it paired to a AFE Apollo GT muffler and am very happy with the overall sound and throttle response.

 

It's worth the wait!

I ordered one yesterday and it shipped out that night. Their website shows the dry filter kit still in stock if you want to order one. May get lucky.

 

Anyone put the 2019-2020 gas intake kit on a 2021? Any compatibility issues?

I bought one used but it was missing the fuel line hose and quick connectors so I called S&B. Can’t wait for delivery. Hopefully it warms up just a little so my fingers don’t freeze during install.

There are no changes between 2020 and 2021 as far as I know.  Should be all set to go

Would you mind taking a quick video inside on say, a highway where you're maintaining speed?  Maybe a quick "drive by"  I ❤️ all the guys taking video with the camera 3" from the exhaust pipe but it's not really something anyone will ever experience in real-life

Well... it's installed. Man, what a NOISE! I had my foot in the gas all the way home, grinning ear to ear. The intake combined with my Corsa catback makes for a fun truck. Nothing this large should be this fun. If you're on the fence about getting one, don't be. 

 

Also, I committed the greatest internet sin and forgot to take a picture. I'll be sure to get one soon.

Did you leave the side open or closed?

I put the S&B cover on the side but I left the top holes open. There didn't appear to be a way to close those.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
