I like it a lot. I will let you know that if you do get this setup, be sure you have seated every connection nice and tight. Be careful with your install and you wont be a negative poster on this product.

For me it was very much what I expected.

yea, the only problem i've had is at the filter, it likes to come undone every once in a while... I've had that setup for about a year now

What about an intake from an HD truck for a Tahoe? I found one on Ebay, but the Volant part numbers are a little different. Anyone know the differences?

I probably should clarify. It's a Volant intake for an HD, but I wondered if it would fit on my Tahoe.

The 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 are all going to use part number 15153, the 8.1 uses part number 15981

:smokin: thats all well and good if i was buying a volant system, the reason i was asking however, was because i found an intake setup on craigs list that is coming off a 4.8 and i just wanted to be certain.

I thought the HD models used the 15053? Maybe I misread it on you guys' website.

Well if the Volant intake is universal among the 4.8,5.3,6.0, you can assume any intake could be. ;)

I'll sell anyone an aem for $220, I'll check cost next week but pretty sure they're 220-230 shipped after I whore the price out. Brand new sealed from AEM yo, forum discount FTW.

The only difference between the 15053 and the 15153 is the 15153 includes a new throttle body grommet. All of the 15053 are 15153's now
