Looking to get a new exhaust and in cold air intake. Already have the exhaust picked out which is the aFe hi tuck one but not sure on which air intake the purchase.

Was looking at aFe and then also airaid. What are your guys thoughts on both of them and which do you prefer? It has to be compatible with a snorkel kit because I am going to purchase the AEV snorkel kit later.

I am leaning more toward the airaid but like I said I am open for ideas

 

Honestly? Skip the CAI. It will provide nothing with the snorkel unless you plan to disconnect the snorkel for DD use. And then it is debatable what it provides.

 

It would be disconnected when it's my DD. The snorkel would only go on when I'm going out with it. The snorkel I'm getting as a gift so I am paying for the CAI. So is it still worth it?

 

I did a thread about my AEV snorkel AIRAID CAI combo a while back. I cant seem to copy the link. Check that out...
Thx

 

If like to look at that also. I have an araid.

 

CAI's are just a waste of money and they offer no performance upgrades

 

Only thing that might be true about that statement is the waste of money part.

 

well if it did offer an upgrade then it would not be a waste of money then, right?

 

Your saying there is no performance advantage at all? I'm not looking for mpg but just to have it breathe better which is why I am getting the intake and exhaust

 

You can search a plethora of posts & threads on this. There is no performance gains to be noticed. 12-15 hp on a 5000lbs vehicle is hardly noticeable, if at all. No gain in mpg, no gains in torque to improve your 0-60 times. Unless you are reprogramming or dropping the FI and installing a carb you can jet, you won't feel anything. Even if there were 25hp in the motor, the power to the wheel is far less. Add in some elevation, and it's even more so.

With that said, no, there isn't a gain you will see for performance or mpg. Or, tell you what. You buy it, put it on. Take it to a dyno. Mid you net more than 15hp to the wheels, I'll pay for your CAI. That's how confident I am in this answer.
