Airaid200-912 M.I.T. Modular Intake Tube

Airiad's website is a total mess, and very outdated. The box come stating this only fit 2007 Gm vehicles with a 6.0, but the instruction sheet included said it fits the 99-06 Gm 5.3 haha. Airiad needs to get thier act together. Install was a simple 10 minute excercise. I could tell the fit and finish was pretty shoddy, on the trimming, but everything fits as it should PN 200-912 fits out 2004 Chevy 1500 with the 5.3 perfectly. These setups are all prettymu chthe same. GM used the same airbox and intake manifold for all the LS based truck engines. Noticed a good high RPM growl and maybe some throttle response pickup.

I am not, nor was I expecting MPG or HP gains. I just did not like the look of the OEM pipe. You can hear the intake a little bit better now though.

The product is as advertised and was delivered in two days. Installation was quick and easy. I ordered for my 2003 Avalanche Z66 that I mostly drive in a mid size town with moderate to heavy traffic. Lots of starting and stopping rarely getting much over 50 mph or over a mile without stopping for a light or something. I don't drive it hard but run with the flow of traffic. This truck is well maintained and totally stock with original tire size on it and about 130,000 miles. I am still using the stock air box and filter. I always have between 4 and 5 hundred pounds in the back as I use it as a work truck, I was hoping to add a little zip and maybe improve mpg a bit. I disconnected the battery to let the computer get a fresh baseline while I was installing. After about 180 miles of driving my normal routine the truck does seem more responsive and I don't have to push the accelerator quite as far to run with the flow of traffic. It goes through the gears a little quicker and is a little zippier than before. Although I know they are not always accurate the computer is reporting average 14.2 mpg against a about a flat 13 before. I got on the highway today for a few miles and was able to get into the throttle little bit and you can now certainly hear the engine drawing air as you accelerate hard. To summarize, For the price of the MIT and 15 minutes in the garage I got more zip, maybe 1 MPG and a little growl under the hood.

Super easy install, less than 10min with common tools that even your mom has. If you don't have the tools, you shouldn't have a truck. But I digress.I installed this in my Yukon, behind the stock airbox and a K&N filter. There is *slightly* more intake noise under normal driving (like an old lady) and considerably more intake noise during WOT acceleration. But, that's what you want...you're just telling your wife or parents that its about gas mileage. I got you bruh.Mileage did improve! No kidding. I didn't expect that it would but I saw an improvement of 2-3mpg on the interstate, with cruise set at 70mph. With my gear ratio and oversize wheels ('Merica!) that translates to 2000 RPM.The engine is 5.3 liters of twisting steel and sex appeal and it can now suck more wind than a new recruit at Parris Island.Buy it. Your wife can't stay mad forever and if she tries to, fear not. The sweet music of this intake will have the ladies flocking to you like the wild salmon of Capistrano.Red-blooded American badassery for $150. Do it.

Best performance per dollar modification that I've made to my 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71. The Airaid 200-912 is well constructed and easy to install (maybe 15 minutes), and has resulted in much improved throttle response and noticeable HP/torque gains (~10 RWHP and lb-ft) under open throttle conditions. I'm not sure it has done much for my 0-60 time (hey, it's a 5500 lb truck), but I did see an improvement at highway speeds going up hills where the truck can hold 4th gear more often and quicker acceleration in passing situations. The engine does make quite a bit more noise now under acceleration, a bellowing growl, which may not suit everyone's tastes. I did not see any change in fuel economy. But all in all, this was a great modification that I would recommend for GMT800 trucks if you're looking for a bit more power. Combine this with a quality paper or dry synthetic filter in the stock air box will yield just as good, if not better, results than a full aftermarket CAI. Next up on my to-do list is the electric fans conversion and a custom tune to get the most out of my 5.3 liter V8.

I am impressed that I have seen better mpg on my Tahoe. It's a 2002 Chevy Tahoe. Granted it's not a 20 mpg increase. However, I have noticed that the gas needle is not in such a rush to get to empty. Also, the response when pressing the gas pedal is much much better. The truck is definitely more responsive. I love it... it's not such a slouch anymore.The install was very easy and it was done quickly. About 15 minutes...I did leave the stock airbox and have an AEM filter in the box. Decided to go in this route: 1 keep cost down, 2 for peace of mind, making sure no water gets into my engine.

Installation on my 2004 GMC Sierra 5.3 was easy, and as others have mentioned, use silicone lubricant or something like it when installing and it will make the process that much easier. I paired this with an AEM high-flow dry filter. Not sure what horsepower gains I got, but it sure sounds good inside the truck from 2000-3500rpms...and the it came with a sticker, so I'm definitely happy with the purchase. Throttle response improved as well.

Awesome. The only thing l wish it was black.

Takes longer to remove old one . Goes on easily , just make sure to lube rubber connectors with silicone / silicone grease ,

I had to modify and use my old joint at the airbox as the one in the kit was so stiff that with vibrations it pulled my MAF sensor apart and i had to replace it. Nice pipe but the joint is too rigid.
