Another air raid jr thread

[Walkercraig01]

Ok so ... gathered thay oiled filters are a no go.would utmbe ideal to just buy the MIT first. Then when my paper filter gets bad replace it with a dry flow filter from airraid ? I am after gas.mileage w this even if it means the motor doesn't kick down going up the hills to work. I don't see why if in have more usable 0ower. Then it would he less likely to kick down. As well as adding a muffler I am hoping it will eliminate this going down the highway and be more efficient. In town I could care less heavy foot in town

Pretty sure your hoping for more out of a intake and muffler...

Would be better off keeping that stock and just getting it tuned if you can't afford it all right now. You will notice a bigger driving difference from the tune alone than you would a intake and muffler. I didn't feel like paying for a intake so I used some pvc pipe. Not as good as the air raid but much better than stock.

You want mpg? Get a eco tune and install a vacuum gauge, drive with the intake vacuum as high as possible.

Do no other mods.

Well as of now I have a few guns I'm picking up and school starting so I'm trying to go cheaper route and prolly holding off on tune till spring if I do it

 

[ezdaar]

good choice.

 

[Walkercraig01]

I'll probably grab the MIT soon Tho

I got the Airaid Jr. kit with the dry filter, part number: AA201-712. It was cheaper than buying them separately.

 

[Walkercraig01]

How do you like it. Have you noticed any changes since having it.

 

[jough]

It is much louder than the bizarre looking stock intake tube.
It is now much cleaner looking under the hood.
The MIT seems very well made and well designed.

If you still have the mechanical fan, some other company products have had fitment issues between the fan shroud and throttle body. At least that is what the reviewers say. It is a tight fit, but Airaid's tube design is pretty clever in that area.

The Black Bear Intake tests showed it to be the best on a dyno (about 10 hp).
It does seem to rev quicker.
My only concern is that a dirty dryflow might not flow enough to comfortably feed my 6.0 based on CFM required. I guess that I will clean it fairly often.

 

[Walkercraig01]

Awesome. I'm excited I've narrowed it down to a borla muffler probably an xr1 for the sound. To mate with it.

 

[ezdaar]

Lolz in here.
Get a specter intake, coat it with VHT then wrap it with ebay header wrap.
Coat the steel box with VHT and insulate ot with hush mat high temp door kit.
Use stick on round rubber door seal to seal it to the hood.


Highest flow, coldest IAT, and CHEAPEST!

**** all these tests in a controlled environment that can be manipulated.
Use a data logget to log tour MAF grams per sec and Intake air temps.

High maf gps and low iat wins everytime.

 

[Walkercraig01]

Wouldnt ut be easier to skip wrapping the metal pipe and get the airraid jr MIT . Makes mo re sense I would think

 

[YukonXL04]

Honsetly... I would do what doug says lol...

More info in this rubber cap please? I might swap over to that setup, the only reason I haven't is cause the filter is open to the engine bay with a wannabe heat shield...

06# 80" 2M Automotive Engine Door Tail Seal Strip Weatherstrip Trim Lock Rubber

Example, but whats needed. The real deal is almost 2" od rubber gasket. It closes up the gap perfectly and is cheap.

I guess I can't picture it in my head

I got ya, I was thinking a rubber cap to seal the top, but your sealing it to the hood. my question is does the rubber reach all the way to the hood? lol

 

[ezdaar]

No hood seal in this pic.

Where is the best place to hook up my vacuum gauge to my 17 5.3 Yukon?

You might do better to post this in the section that includes 2017 vehicles. This section is for 2000-2006. As I have no vehicles newer than 2005, I'm not familiar with exactly where you should post. Good luck, in any case
