Here is a link to the Airaid intake tube: https://www.airaid.com/200-983-airai...ar-intake-tube

 

Thank you but no stock

 

The Airaid intake does clean up the look. Funny I read an article some time back the GM spent a fortune developing the Air tubes for a number of their vehicle (The H2) was one of them.

A whole bunch of engineering when into negating as much intake resonation an noise as possible. Kinda funny, I guess it looks like crap but it works. lol

 

As a retired engineer I can say those GM engineers needed a little supervision. Lol

 

I imagine you could easily make your own, but I kept the stock air box, filter, etc.... another slightly cheaper intake tube is AirDoc that's InStock 😁

 

I think I would spring for the Airaid over the AirDoc, specifically because the Airaid is a molded composite, the AirDoc though very nice looking as well is steel which will transfer under hood heat to the incoming air.

Looks wise either of the two definitely beat the hell over the factory intake tube. I am curious if there is really any advantage's other than the cosmetic and under hood de clutter value.

 

I'm going to paint the original intake silver sprinkle white powder on it and sell as a Hunter.....😆

 

I also preferred the molded composite construction, plus it included a port for the factory filter minder. Not that you can’t drill a hole in the Airdoc if need be.

i doubt there is any real measurable performance advantage. The swap was driven by aesthetics and in that respect was a Win!

 

Unfortunately airdoc only fit 08-09 due to 03-07 is on mechanical fan. The fan shroud get in a way.

 

Yep..My 2 makes me want to fall asleep while cruising ....I especially like the Gi-Normis Muffler that is still in excellent shape. Nice and quite. You could probably use that Muffler on a Diesel Bull Dozer...
