Now that I am finally ready to purchase an intake I am reading mixed signs on this intake.

BB got the best results out of this intake. However I am reading about several fitment issues.
Some place else, at sometime, I read someone cautioned against using an oiled filter which is the 54 comes with. The 51-74104 does not.

When checking into some of this on Amazon their website cautions me that this item does NOT fit a 2015 Yukon.

So now I am back to square 1.

Sounds good as well!

I was actually thinking about that one. But their test mentioned 'constant knock retard at 5600 rpm'.
Although I'm sure their custom tune would adjust for that.

Ended up going with the Volant. $300. More torque and 3 less hp.

Please give an update with the performance and fit of the Volant.

Has anyone ever had their throttle reprogrammed after installing a CAI? Had a GM mechanic re program mine after installing new throttle body and it sounded like a turbo winding up. Seemed like it was being used more efficiently. Anyone experience this?

I did in another thread. Nice intake but had some fitment issues.

I assume an ECM/TCM tune will accomplish this.
