Cold Air Intake [suggestions?]

[bigry2004]

i am thinking about getting a cold air intake. well highly leaning towards it... i looked and found a whole K&N setup for like $200. then i stumbled upon a few on ebay ranging from $25-50. heres one for $15 thats almost identical with not a K&n filter but still better than the stock and its a cone filter. is this worth the $40 [15 +25 shipping] ? i think it is, but i would like suggestions please.........

Nice intake with both pipes (before and after MAF) and a K&N filter, not a cheap worthless filter like theothers offer.

just remember... ive posted in tonz of CAI posts, personally i like them, they add a throughty sound, BUT if you have MAF, be VERY careful, the oil in the filters (k&n included, they are probibly worse then the cheeper filters because they wouldnt "cut corners" as much) will mess up the maf badly, and they aint' cheep

for sure, NEVER over oil your filter.

okay. so just install it as it comes?

[BlazerLT]

Yea, they usually come pre-oiled.

But check though.

[dmbrisket 51]

they come pre-oiled, and you re oil them, and wash them instead of throwing them away for a new one, and that is where my warning was i guess, when you finally need to clean and re-oil, dont over do the oil, it will cause over 300 in damage

ahh so no difference until i get an exhaust?

what it comes down to is breathing, your truck can already breath good, it cant exhaust good... best analigy i have for it is open your mouth and take a deep breath, then breath out of your nose,... your truck in action...
