S&B Intake

[Danimalx87]

Well she fit. Got up to 19.4 mpg on a short trip to Costco. Only broke two clips, and the '23 doesn't have the extra support arm to remove.

It does sound way louder when you get on the gas, even my wife noticed.

Glad to hear the good news.

I'm getting 20mpg combined. 22-24mpg while on the highway at 55-60mph. All stock.

Is that with the 6.2? If I drive 60 mph on the interstate here I'm likely going to get run over or shot

I have the 5.3. I use the cruise control as much as possible.

Might be going the S&B route since Corsa NEVER has their CAI in stock.

Got mine 2 days after buying straight from S&B with their free shipping option. Hope to install this weekend.

Volant is the same thing and cheaper.

Looks to be one in the same; Volant is most likely the child company both owned by TMG Performance Products Company.

The Volant is about $40 cheaper. I'll be changing the plexi window anyhow..so the $40 Corsa sticker is not needed lol.

Volant has been around for 20 years tho. I remember seeing them when searching for an intake for my 2006 Silverado back in 2006.

RotoFab makes the nicest looking kit IMO. I had a paint Red Jewel Tintcoat matched kit on my 2010 Camaro SS.

I got an Air Raid Jr kit recently. Haven’t put it on yet.

Well I canceled my Volant order after informing me there was an 8 week lead time....inline with Corsa. Apparently they (maybe) only drop ship (this seller on eBay), so I opted for the S&B intake which was delivered yesterday and will be installed tomorrow morning.

@Fast_AT4 How’d your install of the S&B go? Any difficulties? How does it pair with the Corsa exhaust? Sound? I’m looking at this option as the Corsa CAI seems unobtanium.

Install was straight forward; scan QR code on cell phone and followed directions. Sound...Corsa exhaust over powers it to be honest.

I installed an S&B CAI on my 2021 Tahoe High Country. It didn't intefere with the hood and it has turned the Tahoe into a Beats!!!!

I chose the dry filter instead of the oiled one.

Got the S&B in yesterday afternoon. Put about 16 miles on it and popped a check engine light, fault P0106 Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

I was able to clear the fault. Wonder if it’s everything readapting or if the MAP sensor has randomly or coincidentally failed.

Anyone else experience this?

 

[Jimbo123]

Update: put about 140 miles on it today and no check engine or faults returned. Must have just been readapting.

I had a Volant on my '09 Tahoe, and it threw codes. After clearing a code, I'd soon get another. So I removed it from the truck.

I'm interested in hearing more about any codes anyone is getting, regardless of the manufacturer. Thanks.

So I was getting a CEL and after many days (and new MAF) at the dealership they suggested I get my stock air box back on to see if the CEL returned. After having it installed for over 2 years apparently the S&B intake was causing the CEL after a GMC update. So I rode around on the stock air box for better than 3 weeks and no CEL. Last night I reached out to S&B and they had me snap a pic of my air tube. It was an older version that apparently on the newer version the MAF is located in a different location. They are now sending me the revised version. For reference, here is my "old" tube that needs to be swapped out.

A+ for a great company doing the right thing even 2+ years after said purchase.

Appreciate you writing this up and giving them props. Very few companies would do that on their own dime these days, and so many people are so quick to write a diatribe when they’re inconvenienced but not a follow up when they get help.

Yeah, hard to "really" hold any weight on feedback systems. As many never come back to speak good, only the negative. And when people do come back to leave positive, I think they were sponsored to leave said feedback.
