There are none. Many people have installed and then dyno'd with zero increase in torque or hp. It's louder though.
I think Blackbear did a comparison through a dyno awhile back and there were some increases, although I think most of them where when the CAI was used with other modifications.
I will say this...I have had to of these air coolers on two different Yukons. I have had a total of 4 Yukons over the last 10 years. On this 2015 Yukon I could tell the difference immediately. But then it again....It works for me and may not work for others. The $300 wont set me back on a $50,000 truck.
I have them for $330 shipped
Do you have instructions for removing/installing grill? Considering this.

Hold one of those aftermarket CAI elements up to the sun and look through it. You will see the sun streaming right through most, K&N being the worst of them all. If you want an aftermarket CAI that won't let in grit, you need at least a 6 layered oiled gauze product that actually filters. By then, you are right back to stock flow.
The new stock air filtration elements flow incredibly well. More air than what the engine can process, and do the job filtering out the tight tolerance wearing grit.
Personally, unless it's a high performance engine that has had head work and cams to dramatically increase flow potential, there are ZERO gains to be made from a CAI, and not worth introducing dirt into your new engine.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was going for.
This is what looks bangin imo 2014
Old wheels on a new car make the car look old.
New body style wheels on a old car make it look newer.

This... but hey like you said, it's yours just do your thing. Still trying to figure out what wheel I want for mine.
Interesting that rims invoked so many reactions. This truck is for towing a boat and I see no reason to drop $2000-$4000 into some "updated rims." The ones that I have serve their purpose and get the job done. I have one of the only Yukon XL around and frequently people stop me because they want to see the vehicle and ask questions.

Well, because they are garbage and make the truck look tacky. Return the stupid cold air intake and sell these wheels + $2k and boom.

Any chance someone has the steps for removing the grill? I want to paint mine body color and replace without breaking it.

Remove the front bumper cover and grille bolts up top. Then unsnap the grille from the bottom tabs. Easy job. It just takes a little bit getting to all the bolts.

The only thing "hard" is finding the right bolts, but once you've done it is an easy job.
Iirc these are pretty much the steps.
1. Jack up one side or both. Doesn't matter but I did only one side.
2. Remove wheel(s).
3. Remove bolts/screws from the fender liner. I only did the front half or so, just to allow me room to work.
4. Remove 2 bolts (7 or 10mm) I don't remember, they hold the bumper facia in place near the headlight. Again I only did one side.
5. Remove 4 or 5 bolts that run under the suv that hold the facia in place.
6. Pop the hood and remove the dust cover.
7. Remove the 4 or 5 bolts on top of the grille holding it in place.
8. I then just hinged the loose side of the bumper outward to give me access to the Row of tabs on the bumper facia that the grille snaps into. I used a bucket and towels to rest the bumper facia on while I did this, but an extra set of hands would be ideal.
9. Once the grill is out snap the new one in and reverse the process.
Once you've done it, it's not at all difficult and anyone with the most basic of hand tools and ability can tackle.
