Well some of you may remember this topic, http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=521
Today the CAI made its way here. The install process went flawlessly. Though the instructions and pictures could have been a little more of the actual product. It seemed as if the instructions were taken at the time of the CAI design and fabrication process.
I did need to use the OEM MAF, which was a PITA to remove from the stock air cleaner lid.
Though you can not really tell from the video, the air being sucked into the throttle body sounds wicked under WOT. I am very pleased with that. The throttle response is definitely improved over stock. You can definitely hear the CAI doing its job from the inside of the truck, which I thought I was not going to hear. It's not as prominent as my brothers K&N CAI he installed on his 5.7 Hemi Charger. I think that may be due to the truck having more sound deadening materials and being BOF.
Overall, I am very pleased with the fitment, quality, and overall performance of this CAI system. Not too bad at all for a total of $67.00. I highly recommend this product.
On to the pics and videos:
The box it came in
Taken out of the box
Disassembly
Step 1; Remove stock intake system
Step 2; Remove filter hold down tray
Step 3; Install heat sheild
Step 4; Install supplied rubber isolator.
Step 5; Install 90* elbow and intake tube, tighten clamps loosely
Step 6; Assemble MAF and filter using supplied parts. Leave all clamps loose til final fitment.
Here are the videos. I'll take more if need be.
Stock start and rev
CAI Installed and Drive
