I have a spectre, what is the mod for these?
Yeah I have one too but never heard of a mod for it.

Talking about the mods that @ezdaar posted about doing on his vehicle. Seems like it works pretty well. Quoted his post from another thread below

Thought I had more detailed pics. This is the closest one I currently have.
Will try to remember to get more asap.
This was my first CAI tube wrap, SO I didn't wrap the couplers.

This is how I currently Wrap CAI Tubes.
Coupler, MAF. From end to end.
I also wrap ALL Hot Lines and hoses. Under hood heat reduction has been substantial!

Coating the Tube and my old set of headers.
Its Sprayed inside and out, then baked with the heat gun.

Use this stuff and 3M super 77 spray adhesive to stick it on the box.

Oh...I'm not that obsessed with mine! I hate header wrap too. Used it on motorcycle exhaust once, never messing with it again.

It'***** or miss. Had a check engine light on my 05 with a full k&n cai kit. Either because the maf gets too much air or the oil residue fom the filter is hitying the maf wires .
It doesn't hurt anything but for me I won't drive around my truck with a check engine light on the dash. So I took it off and sold it.
That's why I'm getting the air raid jr.

Just don't over-oil the filter. And if you do, clean your MAF - it's real easy with my Spectre. But I've never had a problem anyway.

Been running my K & N air intake for years now and never gotten a code from it (plus I always make sure I never over oil it). Also, if you have to clean your MAF, be sure to get the cleaner specific for cleaning MAF's and let it air dry (no compressed air, had a friend do it and it was no good! lol)

I'm currently in the market for one as well. Think I might see if I can find that GM intake online. Does the stock airbox bring in cold air from the bottom of the box somewhere? Like is there a tube that leads to another area? I haven't had a chance to even open my airbox yet since I just bought my truck very recently.

I have the k&n cai on my 01 tahoe and it's given me nothing but problems, check engine light is on, bought 2- ac delco maf sensors along with maf sensor cleaner spray, still running like shit

I may sell it and try a different brand

Id check the code, may be another issue. I've been running my Spectre Intake for years now without an issue.

I've been running the Spectre also, which is just like the K&N, and no problems. It's been on a year and a half.
