Hey fellas, 

I'm leaning towards S&B but, I've read that one needs to choose the dry filter because the one with oil can mess up the computer system?

Also, which brand do yall like best?

S&B, AFE,K&N, Rotofab?

Thanks in advance.

No doubt. Appreciate your comment on my other thread. 

A lot of these CAI companies make these claims of gains in Horsepower & Torque & MPG!!

Easy to get caught up in the hype.

K&N filters do flow more air, BUT they also filter less and allow more particles to get through the filter.  The oil in the filter media will also get on your MAF sensor and cause issues.  This is very well documented.

 

Modern stock intakes flow more than enough air for the engines needs.  All you're going to get with an after market air intake is some intake noise.  

If that is something you'd like, go for it.  Other than that it is a 100% waste of money and could also give GM a reason to void a warranty claim.

I personally will stick with OEM filters with the OEM intake.    Maybe Purolator One or WIX air filters in the stock intake?  Probably just stick with AC Delco to be 100% safe.

The oiled filters are so overkill for a road machine and can only cause issues.  We used to oil our dirt bike filters back when I raced but they are ridden in very DIRTY environments and are two strokes so no maf or any other electronics to get messed up. 
I stick with stock. I’ve never even revved my truck past 5k and 99% of the time it’s 3k tops. Stock set up is more than enough

      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.
