hey guys,just bought a 02 yukon with 5.3,has borla duel exhaust,also hypertech tuner,owner removed k&n intake system,said did not run has good,have you heard of any problems with system or what is the best system for truck,looking to put one back on,also whats a safe tune for that motor,with shift points,rev lim,etc.thanks

 

Never heard of any issues with the k&n systems....your improvements are a result of the smooth elbow comming off the throttle body in the aftermarket systems......all of them will be close in terms of performance. Now i have had issues with K&n filters throwing codes due to the oil on their filters. What you really need to look for is that smooth elbow. if your looking for a new sytem Volant's have become increasingly popular.

 

^ What he said- I had a K&N and it was fine- just not my first choice, and that's what a lot of it will come down you, choice.
As for a tune, there are several sponsors on the site that can help with a quality mail order tune. I have a Wheatley tune and love the way my truck runs.

 

yep....the mail order tunes are much better and usually less expensive....GO WHEATLEY!

 

thanks for info,already have the hypertech power programmer3.looking for safe tune.who do you recommend for buying the air intake,thanks again

 

probably didn't run good due to a dirty MAF and the Hypertech PPIII....

Any name brand CAI, Volant, K&N, AEM should be fine.....and a Wheatley tune too.



Where are you located on LI?

 

I'm in yapank

 

has anybody heard of the slp air intake? how do you guys think about that intake?

 

i made one from scratch, works just as good and cost less than half as much.
