K&N Cold Air Intake Purchased.

So I finally made the decision to purchase a CAI and I have to say that right now after having it installed for about a week I am happy that I did. I have increased my fuel mileage so far by more than a gallon per mile and the truck does have better response in the throttle as well. I was weighing the pros and cons and was trying to decide if the cost was worth it for me. Well after having it installed I have to say that it will pay for itself in no time. I know that there are a ton of videos and opinions on this and for me I have to say that it was worth the purchase. Say what you want but I am happy with the results and the truck has not thrown any codes either like some others have said has happened to them. I disconnected the battery prior to install and it has not caused any issues for me. Just offering my experience with this if anyone else is considering the purchase of a CAI.

 

I had a K&N CAI on my ‘01 5.3L Silverado and I loved the sound it created, I might get one for my Tundra.

 

Hey Bad Cow, to each their own. My fuel mileage has improved now to 2 MPG more and still climbing so that's an improvement in my book. I have not changed my driving habits either.

 

Moo!

 

If the genius engineers at Toyota couldn't squeeze out a few more MPG's from the cold air intake they already designed and incorporated into our Tundra's, I'm sure an aftermarket company surely can.

 

i did an intake on my 03 Silverado and saw massive improvements, because the GM stock intake tube was restrictive design. The OE tundra tube is great as is

 

Must be some fat squirrel stuck inside that intake then

 

Such downers everyone. I like it and that's all that matters.

 

Well of course there won't be much enthusiasm over it when you mention that you're using more than a gallon per mile.

 

If you read this correctly my fuel mileage has improved so far by 2 mpg since installing the CAI. It has not gotten worse.

 

The K&N CAI made my V8 sound mean, too bad it was really just a HOT air intake that made mean noises. Got the Stillen now and worth every penny.

 

I know, just pulling on you're chain, gang

 

Wasted money. Your truck already had a CAI.

 

Congrats on the MPG gain. Some of the CAI's can def give the engine a growl and if you are getting MPG improvement that's awesome.
