Cold air intake

Which cold air intake is the best on the market?

 

None. Comes with one stock.

Lots of info about it already on here, you can search the whole forum in the top right of the page

 

Aftermarket CAI's on this truck are just noise makers.

 

AFE, S&B, Injen have the best aftermarket CAI for our trucks. Some will be louder than others at full throttle.

Any open-air filter with shielding like K&N will be very loud, will allow normal heated engine compartment air to be sucked in the engine making less power.

 

you forgot that you can get them with cool colors and logos

Depends what youre interested in? If its cost/performance - just do a drop in filter and call it a day, but if you want da bling bling then pick the one that tickles your fancy, as they all will yield similar results.

 

A snorkel

 

The most expensive one

 

get some neo piping too cause bling bling

 

Each one works different depending on the ambient temperature and barometric pressure. I would advise to buy 4 different ones and build an isolator manifold. Turn a knob to open up the one you need for the season.



By the way, the stock set up is best left alone unless you just like throwing money away.

 

And it’s seals pretty tight on the hood, sucking up air from the factory hole in the fender. Maybe not as tight as factory. But not exactly sucking up hot engine air.

But yes I agree it’s just noise and no real difference. I always choose K&N because of the reuse able filter.

 

I've heard these give great results. Let us know if you go ahead with the install.

 

100 horsepower gained. Don't listen to these guys saying it only makes noise. Nonsense. I had it professionally dyno tuned by my butt.

 

CAI are for people who don't know anything about cars but still want to feel like they've "modded" their truck.



Edit: I fell for that crap when I was a teenager too.

 

The best Cold air intake is the one that uses hot air to compress the cold air. Then force feeds it into the engine.

 

Snorkel is probably the only way to yield any extra power
Maybe 3 WHP

 

They say all dynos are going to register slightly different numbers. My butt dyno only came back with 85 hp.

 

That's cause you got a small butt. My ass is huge more sq ft coverage for measuring HP.
