Subscribed. Can't wait to see it move along!

Why did you go with the MIT instead of the Jr. kit? (I only ask because I'm looking to do an intake soon)

and what to do pay for it and get it from?

This is a good build list. We have similar tastes in Mods. Just got my airaid MIT on today. I also got the SynthaMax (dry) Filter which is very nice quality. I was surprised to FEEL the difference with it, it was awesome!

Why dynamat for the doors Lee? Do you find the cabin to be too noisy or is it for the stereo or something else?

Thanks.

I got it from Amazon 112.67 Out the door free shipping.

I read a lot and saw that the tube is what really sucked in performance.

Also, I HATE the ways it looks.....


That looks like the stock exhaust Bro with a Resonator delete, but thanks VERY much for the Pics.

I think so...... Plus yours is Grey too or Black?

I did the Dynamat to improve how the crappy stock stereo sounds, and also to make it a little more quiet in there. More Escalade like :)

Yes sir, BLACK.

Nice call on the dynamat. X2 on the crappy stereo! Did it make a big difference on how the stereo sounds now?

Btw I posted some pictures on my Airaid thread in the PERFORMANCE section if you want to take a look. I'm going to post a couple videos of how it sounds too.

Please go back and look at my pictures of the door panels. See all the holes before OPEN and after COVERED. What this does is make the entire door a huge "speaker box". This in turn improves the efficiency of the stock speakers. They still distort at full volume but the bass hits much "fuller".

So I thought I would post this here too.

I got my Airaid MIT only on yesterday. I give it TWO THUMBS UP. If you are on the fence about this, go ahead and go over already.

It is NOT loud at all on light to part throttle, actually no one can tell it's even there. Hit the throttle and wow...........

I have noticed it goes into V4 very easily and quickly now, and it seems to "pull" at a higher RPM.....

I did not post any pictures because there is a million better ones out there already.

Next is the muffler upgrade.
