is the decent amount of improvement like that? i might order the tube off of summit soon, or try to make something close

like yall guys were sayin earlier bout the air intake kits. sucks up some of the heat in the engine compartment makes since.

 

I still don't think there is a huge improvement to be made with any of them over stock. Still waiting to see proof. I suspect about 10 hp at the most along with more intake noise. Actually the only reason I finally broke down and spent money on a new tube is because my stock one didn't fit very well after the TBSS intake went on.

 

so, just to clarify...
(since my stock intake tube is missing the rubber at the TB & causing a vacuum leak)

to make an intake tube for my 2001 5.3 (with fan shroud), i'll need a 4" 90* elbow and a 4" 45* elbow (like seen here) and a piece of 4" pipe to the air filter, connected to the MAF by a rubber boot.

is that correct?

 

wow, this thread is a fighter.

 

anybody??

i kinda need to get this done - the truck's been idling around 450-500 since i got the engine running & even stalled on me once when i put it in neutral coming up on an exit ramp. not to mention, it's been jumping straight to 2000rpm & hanging there a couple seconds on cold starts

 

It is disconn - no longer avail

 

I have a 2000 Chevrolet. 5.3. I wanna do something with the intake as well. What kind do you guys recommend? I've heard Aem is good, and that sticking with the closed box configuration. is that true? thanks folks

 

I modded my stock airbox, which works great (according to datalogs)

 

thats pretty much what i did

 

i will try to get some pics up of mine tonight my stupid work has web sense and it wont let me go on photobucket or see any pics on pt.net anymore
