Don’t forget to post that catch can install video. Sounds like a good addition for the new truck.

Question for you after you did the cold air intake and the exhaust did you do anything to the computer system or did those two things affect the computer system at all?

[@unixdoes]

done this a few times, and with just CAI + exhaust you can just run stock tune (giving it time to relearn for max gains, after the battery disconnect) or do a simple over the counter "performance tune" from reputable tuners if you burn high test.

[@bigchief596]

I worked for k&n for 12 years in maintenance, great american product, and truly made by hand in the usa.

[@franciscodomenech1922]

I agreed 👍 💯 the k&n works excellent my mechanic installed the pedal commander and the Corsa exhaust system is a excellent combination. 😊🤝🤝

[@kcscustom9759]

Cool stuff! I’ve never heard of cold air inductions. Looks like it’s actually quality though unlike some other cold air intake companies that we all know that just give you either slightly better plastic crap or a very thin aluminum tube and a small/medium filter... Either way being a fabricator and studying to be an automotive engineer, after a little research I made my own for my 03 Silverado as a fun project and somewhat of a test and between that and a ported throttle body I surprisingly improved my no load/no trailer city/highway cruising fuel efficiency by about 1.76 MPG. Obviously not my main goal but I’m certainly happy about it! Unfortunately I don’t have a dyno yet or access to one though so I don’t know how much power it added. I know not a ton, lucky if it’s even double digits but it has to be something.

[@markmanning5683]

Any Check Engine Lights or need for Chevrolet Tune after install?

[@ant2464]

I'm also curious. Any word?

[@ant2464]

I've heard it throws zero codes.

[@BryceT_19]

It won’t throw any codes unless you do not have the MAF sensor plugged in correctly. They have these things tuned really well now to work with OEM CPUs. They had to get with the program because the 2019 and above Chevys have 14 CPUs (computers)

[@dicklarge1901]

Replace charger with a corvette. Stick to Chevy.

[@unixdoes]

or a fully built camero for a working class car like the charger -- not that fully built cameros are working class budget anymore. whatever it is, stick shift for sure. who cares if modern autos are faster, sports cars need a stick -- it's about connecting with the machinery!

Just bought a brand new 2020 blacked out trail boss 5.3 and this info is priceless. Definitely will be getting the cold air intake (after my truck bed spray, truck bed mat, tonneau cover, 1.5 inch level kit, and, uhhhh, wife isn't happy)

[@supertruckerrolling]

Go with the 2" it totally levels it

[@Bradbssargdons]

K&N 63 series, (3) mesh resonator deletes, and 18" Magnaflow muffler - perfect combo for me. Quiet at idle speeds/rpms with very little drone (but still slightly noticeable), and roars like a throaty beast with super low tone on medium to high acceleration. 2019 Silverado 5.3.

[@cecilotto504]

k&N is all that he needed too 😂😂

[@travispoirier6234]

Regardless of what you get next it has to be a chevy . . . . Truck

[@Todd_S]

The build quality is nice on the Cold Air Inductions kit, but the K&N servicability is better. I'm happy with the K&N intake on my 2012 Silverado.

[@robbaker1726]

Congrats, CAI is a great system. Added one to my 2019 LTZ, Silverado along with Magnaflow exhaust system. I love the sound and definitely can feel and hear the difference.

[@Todd_S]

That horrible ugly thing is a resonator to reduce intake noise. Basically a muffler for the air intake. All cars have them from the factory.

[@ted101975]

I own a Ford f150 and test drove a Chevy on Sat. The Chevy was a lot quieter.

[@troylopez3099]

Does your trail boss have lights on the sun visors when you open them? If not, do you know if there is a way to put one in that looks factory-ish? May be a good idea since there is nothing out there on this topic that I have found. Awesome channel.. keep it up brother!

[@rhoonah5849]

Did you happen to look into the warranty in terms of making these mods to the truck? I'd love to add a cold air intake to my 2020 Trail Boss but I'm concerned that the dealer will void my warranty if I make those mods. My son was just told by Honda that they won't cover an issue in his Civic SI because he added a custom blow off valve. Just curious what you think or what you have researched. Keep up the great videos!

[@Lifehackz137]

thats why you get one that can be interchangeable in case something goes wrong. swap the oem back and nothing happened

My favorite mod I've done to my 2020 Trail Boss is peel off those ugly Trail Boss stickers. Both your trucks look great!

[@EliteThrowsCoaching]

That’s one of the reasons I love my trail boss. The ugly ass stickers. But I also love the old renegade stickers on Jeep CJs, the trans am fire chicken, and old 80’s ugly stickers. I guess the trail boss reminds me of the ugly 80’s stickers growing up 😂

[@bigski990103]

You have a coupon code for this intake?

[@unixdoes]

after installing CAI and catback (no lift, on my back in a much dirtier garage lol) on a couple vehicles i'm wondering how this compares to just getting the performance package from the factory. "better" is relative -- one thing i've noticed with various CAI brands over the years is it often adds more cabin noise than the exhaust since it's closer to the driver. sounds cool to me, makes my wife pissed on road trips. :-D looks good, sounds good! might have missed it, but anyone doing this (or anything) be sure to check tightness of everything after the first few drives since it can loosen up from temp change and vibration.

[@ethanhoullahan5423]

Definitely get a catch can! On top of the cai you could also heat wrap the intake pipe to further keep the heat out of the intake charge.

[@fishinthesticks8139]

Awesome bud! I have the KnN, and borla s-type. Im curious about your shift patterns at cruising speed. Mine is awesome if i stay heavy on the pedal, but i get "dead pedal" at cruising. When i want to GO it downshifts 2 gears then im gone, but not what im trying to do. Want a tuner, but we know they can't seem to crack the code. Although AEV, and Hennessy seem to know how. Also my mpg went down with both mods at first, then computer figured it out. 96 miles a day during work week some expressway, and I average 19.5mpg. Nice Truck!

[@fishinthesticks8139]

Sorry mine is a 2019 Custom Trail Boss, 5.3 new gen. Like yours, KnN CAI, Borla S-type. Mines on 22's, Really like the 18's. I might swap those out little wider, maybe taller tire?

put a cold intake on my 2007 Silverado. 2 weeks later. I was traveling down a road and it just stop raining. I could see water crossing over the road way. The water was about less than a quarter thickness. When I crossed over the water area, my engine shut off. Rolled to a stop, I tried to start my engine. It would start. engine made a bump sound while trying to start..Called a friend of mine that's a mechanic. Friend told me that I had a hydro lock. My reply " what's that"? . It's when your engine sucked the water into the intake of the engine. Engine unable to compress water, snapping the engine rods out the side of engine.....now, was air intake in a box? Nope. If it was then that would take away of getting as much air into cold intake. Take this lesson from me. DONT PUT A COLD AIR INTAKE ON YOU VEHICLE'S!!! PERIOD!!!

[@danielreichek6562]

Also, the air moves through the intake tube so quickly during acceleration the temp change in the plastic intake tube VS the metal one is negligible. If you’re a top fuel dragster then you’ll care about that 1/2 degree difference but for reg people it’s not really going to matter. If you want to you can take some fiberglass exhaust wrap for motorcycles and put it around your K&N tube. That’s what some of the drag cars do.

[@SergeyPupkoMusic]

I put a JLT catch can on my Jimmy 5.3 bit that's on driver side only. I haven't seen passenger side catch cans, at least not ones that were designed specifically for that engine... Of course you can do a DIY, or at least change the PCV pipe configuration to fit passenger side... Though I've heard that the passenger side is not the worst offender... The one you gotta worry about is the driver side because it goes directly into the head, at least the passenger side plugs into the stock intake so it had to go through the intake before it goes into the throttle body... With a custom CAI, might have to put one on passenger side as well.

[@motodrip1643]

Did the CAI cause your check engine light to come on?

[@RoadGlideST23]

You talk a lot, explaining like you're pretty diligent in what is best investment for the "efficiency" of the power. But apparently you didn't search very long or thoroughly for the system on the 07. I had brand new 07 HD (6.0 gas with first gen 6spd auto) and had Ram air for it. As well for 09, same air intake. So I'm wondering if you're doing what you're paid to do on this truck or what's best available. As well as the repeatedly remarked "enthusiast", why didn't you get the Sierra AT4 with 6.2?

[@BubbyPlaisan]

Put a CAI System in my 6.2 Midnight Edition TB with a Pedal Commander. Wasn’t satisfied with CAI and slammed on a K&N. Not that CAI didn’t perform, it did I’m just a K&N Fool. Borla moved in. Now I’ll pick up some Hookers and Whipple

[@MunkeyRC]

Pretty disappointed in this product from CAI and their customer service/company. I had worse gas mileage, my shift points were horrible and almost felt like my transmission was slipping at times. I was told by customer service to remove the item after 1200 miles of it trying to, "Learn" the computer and re-install my stock in take. Then after 200 miles re-install the CAI intake. I had to pay my own shipping back to the company for a refund and then wasn't credited a full refund. Awful experience.
