2014+ Intakes (CAI) & Air Filters

caskey_b · September 6, 2017

Last week i installed the Airaide intake pipe and kept the stock filter and box. Im not sure about power but i am at least 2mpg better already. Same route, driving style, same 87 gas. Everything same except the intake tube.

Pleasantly surprised The growl is nice as well. $150~ from amazon.

there are several people from reviews claiming 2+ mpg increase as well from the tube/tube and drop in filter...

read nothing but good things about the MIT/Jr Intake kits...

will be purchasing mine in the morning!

I installed my Intake before my headers and exhaust and the only sound I could hear was the growl under the hood above 2k rpm. I don't see how it would have any significant impact on the exaust sound.

My gm borla touring rear dual exit sounds nice but I also have a set of AR long tube headers in front of it. Go get some headers and a tune if you really want get some performance as well. Either that or get the Borla Sport or Attack.

Thanks input. No headers or tune at this point, as just got.it and want no.warranty issues.

I'd be interested to know if these mpg increases are based on the trucks display or hand calculated? I have an excel file comparing the truck display vs what I hand calculate and the truck display is always 10% higher than real world.

I just question if the MPG stay the same as stock but the truck becomes even less accurate at calculating the fuel mileage.

Installed my Airaid Jr intake today...

Very minimal sound difference

Some throttle response increase (at least I thought)

And I think definitely a mpg increase

I was on of those that claimed the 2 MPG increase with the Air-raid full kit. How did you make out?

it does provide less restricted air flow but if you actually want an increase in power go with a full cold air intake kit.
Blackbear did some dyno test on them.
I had an MIT with a K&N filter and ultimately ended up going with a full K&N cold air intake that was on sale at AutoAnything.
The airaid MIT doesnt even compare. Especially if you're going to get a tune for your truck.

I immediately noticed a power increase and then once the tune was customized to it, it increased even more!

I would highly recommend a full cold air intake, exhaust and custom tune from either blackbear or DiabLew.

I'm currently on larger tires, leveled with a camper shell and getting better gas mileage than i did stock.

i dont have any real data to compare (only about 2 tanks through the truck before I put the intake on)... but it seemed like a 1-2 mpg gain on the roads i travel every day

Did you disconnect the battery when putting the intake on?

If so it might be in the relearn process. Just pay attention to MPG after you hit about 200 miles and that will be a little more accurate as to what it will stay at.
