Gmpp Cai Installed

bschott · August 17, 2007

Just installed my GMPP CAI kit. Installation was fairly easy and the directions were spot on. Took about an hour to install. Now waiting for my Granatelli Spark Plug Wires to arrive so I can install them...

Also on the List is a new Granatelli MAF (due out in about 3 or 4 months according to Granatelli Support).

The installation looks nice...you need to clean that engine compartment now.

FYI: I have never read a favorable report on a GRANATELLI mass air flow sensor...you might want to do some research on that product before purchasing.

Owners of LT1 motor '94-95-96 Impala SS and LSx motor Corvette owners all recommend staying away from that product line.

Nice intake. I wouldn't waste my money on the new MAF sensor though, you won't gain anything. Use the money towards an exhaust system or better yet get a custom tune.

I installed mine last weekend, though mine has a white paper filter rahter than red/orange in color as your pictures show. Does anyone else have one with a white filter?

The only ones I have seen with the white filter have been for the 800 series trucks.

Yes, I've been negligant in cleaning the truck lately. It's been too hot and I just didnt want to deal with the heat. I'll clean it up.

As far as a sound clip, I'm sure I could accomidate. It will take a me a bit as I need to find a cell phone or otherwise to record audio. I can tell you that like all "CAI" installations, you'll hear the engine more through the intake. Although this one isnt nearly as loud as the FIPK I installed on my '02 F-150 a few years back.

Probably because there's a lid on it, where the FIPK was exposed in the engine bay.

I can say that with the CAI, and the GMPP Exhaust along with the 87 Octane tune on a Diablosport Predator, this thing runs like a raped ape now. I was cruzing on the highway a bit ago, and was doing 70, then I mashed the throttle, and I was at 80 miles an hour in about a second or a second and a half. The Diablosport programming allowed the tranny to drop all the way to 2nd, then it just took off...

A better question, is how/where do you obtain the replacement filters once this one is dirty? I'ts not like a K&N where you can just wash it out (I'm assuming)?

Mine has the white paper filter too. What's really interesting is the fact that Brian bought his from the exact same eBay seller as I bought mine from.

Hey whats the parts number and the GM CAI for the 6.0L. I was at the dealer last week and they told me that they don't have a CAI for the 6.0L yet only for the 4.8/5.3L. Is there and difference?

Very interesting on the color. I picked up mine from GM parts direct about 2 weeks ago. Maybe the orange/red is just colored paper to make it look like a k&n...
