Default 2011 Suburban 2500

Any recommended performance mods for the L96 engine? Vehicle tows a 27 ft, 6600 lb travel trailer. Can't find any CAIs listed for it. Thanks in advance.

The L96 is an iron block 6.0 with L92 heads, but I cant think of any reason that any 1/2 ton CAI wouldn't work and I also suspect it would be very responsive to headers and a tune.

Tune by far the best bang for your buck, 160 degree therm, and if you spend the money on headers you will not believe how much your truck wakes up and how much you will enjoy driving it.

Tune, drop in K&N filter, headers in that order. Intake systems really dont have a very good bang for the buck.

depends on how much you can spend on them
from 500 pacesetters to 1800 american racing headers
and the 6.0 loves a cold air intake...youll find them as cheap as 200$ i would go with airaid or afe KNN is too pricy

I did a drop in K&N and a tube.. keeps stock airbox and all that jazz and just replaces that gawd awful tube from box to TB..

If i had to buy Headers i would do ARH or Dynatech..

Dynatechs are made right here in Indiana. Stainless too..

Between the ARH and Pacesetters in price..

Good quality, ive been to their place but have yet to buy headers for mine..

Stupid house payment

Time to put the foreclosure sign out front and mod the truck.

You'll want a 3/4 for pulling a travel trailer a burban will work good for pulling a travel trailer due to the wheel base length.
