The closed box ones are technically the best as they force the air to come in strictly from outside versus the engine-however I installed one on my Silverado to get rid of the clunky stuff that doesn’t need to be there
I bought a 2001 f150 king ranch, named it Gary from your build Larry. I actually ordered this same I take for my truck and it still hasn’t even shipped yet. Glad to see the build though keep up the good work.
Super clean truck 🤙🏻I love this gen. They are very good trucks! There are 2 local to my town in Alabama that are just like this and stupid clean. 1 of them is a red 4 door 4x4 6.0 maxx. 1500. Super rare.
is it possible to get that plexi glass cover? i just ordered me one of these and accidentally got the one with the chrome top :( too late to cancel the order
Gotta love the simple but good install videos. I’m considering getting one for my ‘07 F150 King ranch and this makes me want one more lol. I’m so pumped to see when you buy a new f150😉😉
My biggest thing on the cold air intake is to make my exhibit sound better. 2014 Silverado 5.3 short tube headers Borla atak exhaust system. SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!
Im at the point as well in my stage of biulding up my GMT800 escalade AWD 6.0 and this Intake looks to be the part. Im deff getting this to compliment the performance pipe setup after it gets done. Awesome man. good review Also i might custom modifiy the hole at the bottom of the box and make it 3 in hole and place a tube about 5 inches down so it can soak up more air directly.. dam i cant wait to get my hands on this for my truck!
Would've been easier to line up the maf. If you put the screw through the maf. Put gasket on throw it through and repeat. But either way very helpful and well done videos love them, have the same truck but a 3/4 ton, stumbled upon your videos and loved them finally given me the motivation to do the small odds and ends to beef the truck up and save her from the rust belt.
Looks good, I see this and think: "if I got one id be able to see if something is trying to make a nest without unbolting the box to look under the stock filter every time I check" lol
Hey Man Love the videos just bought a 03 sierra 1500hd am definitely gonna put the Volant air intake system but had a question what long pipes did you go with for the headers I want to do the same with my exaust
I have a cold air intake (along with many other upgrades) and it MOST DEFINITELY helps. Better mpg, turbo spools faster, and the turbo sounds a ton better.
@@josephmimun9427 it’s got a lot of stuff done. Injectors, full system, fuel delivery spring, upgraded turbo, tuned. But I had all that with a normal intake and I noticed a difference after putting on the cold air
Hey brother was watching you other videos and I had a question I got a 2 wheel drive 2015 GMC Sierra I recently installed a 3 inch leveling kit stock back I know you recommended to upgrade your upper control arms if I should how soon
What’s a good cold air intake for my 2013 5.3? It’s completely stock right not but I’m gonna change that and it’s getting exhaust work done to it next week so I’d like to get a cold air intake asap
Since a Cold Air Intake is suppose to take cool air from the front of the Truck and not the Engine compartment, if that is the case then my Silverado came with a Cold Intake from the Factory. The Air Box only receives air from the Front of the Grille, no engine hot air involved. Yes the Air Filter is not exposed and flat, but it operates on the same principle.
I think they definitely look cool but honestly doubt it's giving any mechanical benefit over a high performance filter in a factory air box as the airflow is the same only the surface area and filter material would potentially effect airflow. Then even it does breath easier that would only improve performance if the factory one is so bad that it forces the ecm to reduce fuel flow to get the proper air/fuel mixture.
I got a 2016 5.3 Silverado with a k & n intake, Tune, and throttle body spacer, with dual exhaust and I don’t notice much gains. I’m starting to think without headers and a cam the little stuff is useless.
If you have the 5.3 then I'd suggest you find the 6.2L intake and throttle body. They bolt right up to the 5.3, it's a pretty easy swap, and you'll get noticeable gains throughout the powerband.
If you improve air in such as intake, throttle body, and intake manifold then you do need to improve air out with headers and less restrictions(cats, muffler). Cam is always going to get great results in a ls truck bc they stock cams are a joke.
I bought overtime every CAI you possibly could for an 05 cateye that I had, the one I hated the most is this one you just bought lol I'm just lookin out, but your going to start finding little blue pieces of that honeycomb filter in your throttle body and intake once you start putting some time on it, that was my experience with volant, I bought it because I liked the sealed box as well
@@lmfscrew what is the update? I just refound your channel after getting my 05 Sierra SLT Z71. It needs quite a bit of work but I’m looking forward to working on it with my sons and friend
They came on the truck if you watched the video of him showing the new truck they were already on there. But if you want headlights like that go on google type in your year sierra and they will show you all the headlights they make for our sierra’s. And then you pick your poison
After having a S&B on your old truck what made you go with the Volant this time? I’m looking for a cold air intake for my truck to replace the eBay hot air intake that was on it when I bought it. I was looking at the S&B but the Volant looks better to mr so I’m just curious why you made the choice you did
I have the same question. What made you choose Volant after having multiple S&B’s? On my ‘17 Silverado, I tried the Airaid and added a better filter, and have the RC CAI now. RC sounds better, but Airaid felt like it pulled better. Considering the price jump to S&B (after watching you rave about them lol) but independently considered Volant. Now I see this video, and am even more undecided lol. Is the a noticeable difference between the two? Thank you!
@@lmfscrew Awesome! I am personally fixing up an 02 f150 right now, its been wrecked bad, but I'm following what you do on larry to kinda see how stuff would look on my truck! Thanks for the great content!
The closed box ones are technically the best as they force the air to come in strictly from outside versus the engine-however I installed one on my Silverado to get rid of the clunky stuff that doesn’t need to be there
I have a S&B should I remove the bottom plug in it?
Dose this work for a 2002 Cadillac Escalade
Chase these are my favorite videos of yours, I know I’ve said it many times but it’s true. Your tutorials and explanations are on point!! 🙂
That cold air intake looks great ! I’m sure that it will increase your mileage and throttle response! Thanks for sharing your video! Handyman Dave!
I have S&B closed box on my ‘16 Silverado. 1 thing we can all agree on is they definitely look better than the big ole factory set up
I really like this truck. The way it is set up is perfect.
I literally bought this exact same CAI for my 5.3 Yukon like a month ago, crazy I found this channel from a blown up Silverado.
I have the same one, back when I was just intake, tune and exhaust it made the engine sound wayyy better
I bought a 2001 f150 king ranch, named it Gary from your build Larry. I actually ordered this same I take for my truck and it still hasn’t even shipped yet. Glad to see the build though keep up the good work.
I’ve always used k&n with an open filter and loved it. Intakes are a must
Love your videos I just bought one these thanks to you I’m try it out
Super clean truck 🤙🏻I love this gen. They are very good trucks! There are 2 local to my town in Alabama that are just like this and stupid clean. 1 of them is a red 4 door 4x4 6.0 maxx. 1500. Super rare.
Ready to see the leveling kit vid and I think we all needa see the 24s and 33s on the Sierra! keep up the great vids chase. Loving em
if you put 24s on something it needs to have at least a 35, lol
@@lorenzoholt5053
That’s your opinion.
@@Jay-hp6pu that’s the opinion of anyone who wants enough sidewall to know ride like crap lmao
Volant powercore is the way to go. Looks clean. That clear cover is sick… Got it on my 05 LM7 might need to get that see thru cover
is it possible to get that plexi glass cover?
i just ordered me one of these and accidentally got the one with the chrome top :(
too late to cancel the order
Most definitely Larry video. I like the intake look good on the 5.3 I might put that on my Tahoe withe the 102 throttle body set up.
Gotta love the simple but good install videos. I’m considering getting one for my ‘07 F150 King ranch and this makes me want one more lol. I’m so pumped to see when you buy a new f150😉😉

Just bought one for my 2005 GMC Sierra crew cab SLE
Identical to this truck
But all blacked out
Love your truck and these videos
U recommend feel any more difference like power?
Looks sick love the content man
My biggest thing on the cold air intake is to make my exhibit sound better.
2014 Silverado 5.3 short tube headers Borla atak exhaust system.
SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!
Volant’s power-core seems like a really solid choice
Im at the point as well in my stage of biulding up my GMT800 escalade AWD 6.0 and this Intake looks to be the part. Im deff getting this to compliment the performance pipe setup after it gets done. Awesome man. good review

Love the vids man keep it up!
A tune with the intake would make more of a bigger difference
Clean truck, thats exactly what im looking for
Looks good, I see this and think: "if I got one id be able to see if something is trying to make a nest without unbolting the box to look under the stock filter every time I check" lol
Clean ass truck man. Props.
Colored matched finder flares would look goof
It’s like a dagum slip and slide 😂😂😂 I loved that part
Gonna be getting a cold air intake on my 5.0 in the near future. Hopefully it’ll liven it up even more.
Love them gmc just got one just like that and I love it
Great motors to.
Dope man keep it coming!
Good choice I had a 2005 and a 2006 cateye Chevrolet I put that very intake on them it is a good intake
Hey Man Love the videos just bought a 03 sierra 1500hd am definitely gonna put the Volant air intake system but had a question what long pipes did you go with for the headers I want to do the same with my exaust
Are you gonna put the 24x12’s on the sierra? I think it would look awesome
Need to put those 12 wides on the gmc 👊🏼
My 01 has a open box k&n it only has it because it was in when I bought It. I want to do a closed box eventually
I’m thinking slap the wheels and tires that were on terry on to the GMC?? 👌🏻
5.3 runs hot. You need to box in the intake. Volant is $$$$ but the clear lid looks nice! My suburban isn’t a garage queen tho
I have a cold air intake (along with many other upgrades) and it MOST DEFINITELY helps. Better mpg, turbo spools faster, and the turbo sounds a ton better.
What other upgrades?
@@josephmimun9427 it’s got a lot of stuff done. Injectors, full system, fuel delivery spring, upgraded turbo, tuned. But I had all that with a normal intake and I noticed a difference after putting on the cold air
Volant intake?
Same here bud 😎👍
Does this kit have all of the factory connections going to it? Thanks for the video by the way!!
I would say closed box would work better than open filters engine heat is the killer.. free flowing closed box would be good
Is the filter easy to clean is the question, K&n has a good cleaning kit for there products. I would disassemble and clean.
Hey brother was watching you other videos and I had a question I got a 2 wheel drive 2015 GMC Sierra I recently installed a 3 inch leveling kit stock back I know you recommended to upgrade your upper control arms if I should how soon
How do you compare to the cold air inductions intake?
If I get this for my 04 5.3 cateye, will I have to get it tuned for this specific cold air intake?
Does that truck have a clutch fan or dual electric fans
I am suprised you do not have a pro charger on that thing yet how sweet would that be?
awesome vid what size hole is the ported hole on the bottom. thnx
Did you install the air deflector on your lower valance? If so where did you get it
What’s a good cold air intake for my 2013 5.3? It’s completely stock right not but I’m gonna change that and it’s getting exhaust work done to it next week so I’d like to get a cold air intake asap
Any luck finding a good shop for a sunroof?
I was just looking at that system. Looks like you're in the South, bama Road signs looks like. Reckon I'll subscribe
What gas mileage did it end up giving you? Did you get an increase?
That exhaust needs to go! True dual axle dump!
Did it help with mpg any if so how many did you gain?
seen those wheels and tires in the back👀
Wow that is a lot different from the one I had the one you showed a picture of at the beginning that was the one I had

but it doesnt have a plexy glass cover,so there s that
May get this for my 06 Sierra! Any affiliate link?
Stock ls intakes are good for 450 hp… should have spent money on a tune….. good luck with build
I just started following ya,I. Thinking about this for my Cat Eye....how has it been to date?
Thanx in advance

Where you buy the intake can’t find the clear one?
Is it much louder in the cab under acceleration?
S&B FTW
I'm thinking of replacing my core paper filter with the oiled filter. Do you know if it will fit or do I need an adapter?
Do you think that intake fits a 90mm throttle body I’m looking at cai now for my truck
You got the part # for this specific one? I have same exact truck as you.
Which do you prefer? Volant or S&B?
Could you tell me the part number on this? I just tried putting the wrong one on my cateye

Do these void warranty
You have to tune them with a exhaust and feel a real difference
Should have done a 0-60 before and after
Will this fit a 6.0?
You should put the snow flakes on the gmc
Where is the link to buy?
Should have cleaned the Mass Airflow sensor with MAF cleaner spray only. Don't use anything else to clean it, unless you want to F it up.
Hey man, did you have to tune this thing?
I'm seeing some people claim you have to tune it.
please tell me this is just bullshit
why do you unplug the negitave term i did mine with out doing it and nothing happened just don’t see the point
Can we please get some more larry vids? I really enjoy them!

What's your opinion on the Rough Country intakes for a 16-18 silverado
I installed one on my 2019 5.3 Silverado. Nice clean look, better throttle response and added a little rumble when accelerating.
Good old Betty White in the background at 12:09😥
You diggin it ?
Looking for a good option for my 2013 5.3 vortec. Out of the ones you’ve tried i.e. Volant, S&B, Afe, ect. What ones are the better options?
Volant
Cool ya fixing up the ole style again !Just don’t watch last Whistlin Diesel vid lol Trucks looked decent ( you can unsquatt them ) sad!
Thank Goodness GM got rid of those dreaded side posts
When lol
