Air Intake 2007 NNBS?
Well traded-in my 04 GMC yesterday for a NNBS 2007 RCSB 2WD Z71. I just got out this morning and swapped in the True-Flow drop in filter into the stock box, same setup I was using on the GMC. Was going to see if the Air Aid Intake Tube would work also, but man there is a maze of baffles on the stock tube. There is a long narrow baffle that runs underneathe the engine cover all the way to the back of the intake manifold and stops. About mid-way back there is a hose line that runs in plugs into a grommet in that baffle. I assume that this is some sort of a vaccum line.
I haven't seen any of the other intake systems for these new trucks. so I didn't know if that was a needed thing or what, so I just left it alone for now, but would really like to get that snaking *** intake tube off the truck, I KNOW that thing is restrictive as hell.

Check out the AEM. I looked at their site and there install instructions show a nice looking product. It is the best looking I have found yet. Air raid may be a good choice also if they have they tube ready.

I really like the AFE, but man I have issues spending that much $$$$ for just an intake. I would go with the true-flow if they were still using the composite tube, I think they are using an aluminum one now. just not sure how that is for heat disappation.

the volant has a ram air effect without any tubes. the hole in the front of the box fits perfect between the headlight bucket and the rad support. just cut a hole in the flap between the two and it takes its air through the grille.
