AEM or K&N

[gtbigup01]

I'm about to pick up an intake now but it seems like the most folks g with AEM, well I see the K&N claims 11HP at like 5300 rpm and the AEM claims like 12 at 4700. Well we all know we'll hardly ever see those numbers, so what reason most of you chose the AEM over the K&N? Sound / Quality? Oh is $285 shipped a good price for the AEM brute force

i just went with aem cause my local hook up was $190 picked up. check out autoanything.com as they have %15 off today with free shipping.

i went with AEM mainly because of looks. i got the silver powdercoated version. i wanted a metal intake tube, unlike airaid, and i didnt want chrome cuz im probably gonna get the tube painted.

that Spectre brand someone was selling looked pretty good for WAY less. gains were very close. there were a ton of reviews of people that have them and love it. what do you think?

seems like there is no option for the denali when asked to choose sub-model. Only 4.8 and 5.3

 

[Narco]

i bet it would still work. i think most these CAIs works on the 4.8 and the 5.3 so it might work on the 6.0. i dont know anyone personally who has used Spectre though.

All 4.8 and 5.3 systems will work on the 6.0, I love my AEM easier to maintain and made good power on my 02. Oh and K&N bought out AEM because they couldn't compete with their filter media...if you can't beat em, buy em.

So what ur sayin is AEM is the same as a K&N, just the Luxury brand, Like Toyota and Lexus, Honda Acura, Nissan Infiniti. You get the picture . Oh well I'll buy the AEM one

Aem is better You should be able to find one for $250 or less.

$250?? The cheapest I saw was $285 shipped. I'll keep looking. TNX

 

[Rivieraracing]

I like my K&N but am not partial to them

Don't go with anything that just sits under the hood. A guy I knows has some old intakes not made anymore. he picked up 15hp from it. No tuning. He works with Patrick G and they own a shop together in TX.. They know there shit. I can get you info to order one if you want.
here:

99-08 Chevy/GMC 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 Truck/Tahoe/Suburban CAI and filter ($225)
(Black/Clear/Carbon Fiber/Chrome)

I did back to back dyno test on the my Tahoe with the stock air box and the 5.3L CAI and picked up 15rwhp/14tq.

I got the Spectre brand CAI from a member here and an AEM filter from amazon.com. $120 total, can't beat that. Not installed yet but will be this weekend.

Do it your self...

www.airflo.com

$130 total
4in diameter Pipe
If you do it this way the only draw back is you have to cut or remove your fan shroud if you have a mechanical fan... but im extremely happy with mine.

 

[puckhead]

Ive got the AEM Brute Force and I can tell the improvement especially on acceleration

 

[DREADMAN109]

I went with TrueFlow...I'm impressed with it...paid under $200 for the entire set up and installed myself...

I got a Spectre of eBay for $75 shipped and it works excellent, I notice the performance gain and the intake "growl" sounds so nice over 3k RPM. Save your cash and get the Spectre :IMO

I'll pay extra for the AEM every time, filter is the best made
