It's pretty neat when done - the truck growls like a tiger from behind, howls like a banshee up front - they put so much restrictive, acoustically matched CRAP under the hoods and into the exhaust on these machines. It does not take much to undo what the GM gods have saddled us with and let your ponies run free.

I wanted to do ram air induction originally. I sat out there in the parking lot with my intake in pieces, pondering over what would be needed. Thought of taking an under-hood scoop off of a Camaro or Firebird V-8, adapting the tubing, etc. Then realized..."It's a truck!" Would not be able to make it work without modifying the core support and the hoodline. Not to mention, think of the things trucks are exposed to - Rain, mud... And nothing dampens spirits more than accidentally sucking up a kid into your intake.
