What is the best cold air intake for my yukon

[S.L.A.B]

I been looking around for cold air intakes and i like the K&N FIPK intake but it says i will only get 12 HP which is nice but when im spending 300 dollors i like to get out What i pay for it. So, what do yall think is the best cold air intake for my 05 yukon SLT 5.3.(looking for HP)

Doesn't really matter cuz ALL of those claimed HP gains from the CAI kits are way over exaggerated. At MOST you'll get 3 or 4 HP gain with just the addition of a CAI alone so if you're going for HP gains or MPG gains save your money.

With that said, if you're dead set on getting a CAI then the K&N you mentioned or airaid are probably the best for the money.

love my AEM Brute Force.

Save your money and get a K&N drop in and use your money elsewhere.

A pipe is just a pipe.

Buy the cheAp one, specter from autozone.
Save the extra cash for a servo kit for transmission, you will gain more with these two
Than a 300$ CAI. And cost will b cheaper.

I really like my Banks Ram-Air

Exactly what I did. CAI's on these trucks don't get you much of any gains outside noise.

so other than an CAI and a chip, what else could i buy to give me more HP.

 

[ezdaar]

Best bang for your buck is a BLack BeAr tune, vette servo, specter CAI and swap in magaflow muffler.

You will have bigger gains in both power, feel and sound over anything else other than a forced induction kit.

You WILL like what you get from just those simple mods.

no chip, a real tune will be far superior.

 

[07Burb]

no chip, a real tune will be far superior.

Totally agree...I've never regretted my BB tune.

i have an S&B with a Magnuson TVS1900 super charger... i have had it on for over about 12 years and over 160k miles (185k miles overall), still works great and S&B still sells parts and supports it, i just ordered a new filter, plastic top and screw set to refresh it...

here is a little update... i had the wrong K&N filter on it, i didn't realize it, when i got my new S&B filter, the new one was much much bogger in diameter... talk about waking my truck up.. i don't know how much HP i just gained putting the right sized filter on, but it is significant... power and throttle response are dramatically better.. yay!

Are the K&N filters oiled? Are the S&B filters also oiled?

I've found the K&N stuff suffers as they age out and clog no matter how much you clean them....

 

[homesick]

I don't believe that reusable filters are much better than disposables; and certainly not better enough to be worth the clean-up hassle.

Have any of y'all ever heard of correctly changed dry filters letting dust ruin an engine?

im not a fan of oiled filters... i live in a dusty environment, so i think will suffer from clogged... and yes the one i removed was oiled... and much much smaller that the stock S&B oiled or not.... i prefer dry disposable filters and my power and throttle response woke up bigtime... i love it newly
