I'm surprised there isn't more info when I searched on here about these. I saw the supposed test reviews that are never coming....So....

I just got a 15 Yukon Denali and want to get a CAI. What are you guys running and why? I've heard of some fitment issues and others that had computer issues after install. What's the low down? Who's got the best? Who's a forum supporter?

I also have a procharger just sitting around....Just the procharger though no other pieces and I have no clue how to install it...lol

I have the airraid. fitment was perfect and its 50 state legal. I had no issues with the ecu when installed.
The reason I went with it was price, review of version for the pre 2014 trucks and its what a bunch of companies use when they offer a rebranded version.

Volant. Used them on my previous generation Escalade as well. Good price and sounds good even when not at full throttle. Oh and they had a $50 mail in rebate.

You cant really go wrong with any of the name brands. They all do their tests tunes. Looking at their main website you can usually get a good idea at the "performance" adds you get from them but for the most part unless you are running tons of power along with other bolt on upgrades and a tune you will be good with w/e catches your eye. CAI add MPG most times, especially with the newer age vehicles, but adding a cotton/fiber replacement drop in filter does almost the same if not better in some vehicles.

When is comes to CAI I usually go with the one that looks the best and if I can I will add a K&N but would require modifications. I have always liked the Volant, and for this truck I will be getting that one eventually. I have seen a mod that someone did on my year model adding a plexiglass cover the box and customizing it some. Looked clean. I cant find the thread but maybe who did can chime in.

Was looking for the one done on a stock '15 sierra/Silverado 5.3. Was just done last week but I've probably got motors switched up anyways
