I have full PPF coverage on my ZR2, and it’s had no issues with it sticking to the crinkle paint near the rockers. There is a spot here and there, near the edges of the space between the cab and box where it’s slightly lifted, but I’ve had zero issues so far. I highly recommend getting it.
Don't waste your money on an intake. The OEM airbox is a very nice airbox. If anything, remove the baffled airbox connected to the throttle body and do this to clean up the engine bay a bit.
From hanging around here, it seems like Volant is a commonly preferred CAI option and from my research provide solid filter options which is appealing (dry, oiled, and a power core) I’ve been in the world of Duramax since ‘06 and have always used S&B with extremely good luck so might check there as well. KN has been around along time but not sure how much true innovation and incremental improvement they are bringing to the table these days.
Dang! Should have known you would beat me to the draw @securityguy !!! Lol All joking aside, seriously I would recommend starting a thread on your strong opinion here “Merits of a CAI” or something similar. And I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything, it’s just that we go through this cycle so often…let’s just dedicate a thread to the debate, discussion, learning and we can assume folks know that when they ask for a brand recommendation. Again, just a suggestion to help us keep things organized and efficient.
We should never assume anything my friend. I just stated an opinion, which we all have, and the OP can take it or leave it. No arguments coming from me
His truck...his money!
Fair enough on the assumption and completely agree on the opinions, and your reply wasn’t arguing the merits just offering a cheaper alternative which I should have recognized…We should never assume anything my friend.

) is we seriously beat the snot out of some dead horses and should consider dedicated threads and just direct folks to them. I’ll digress…sorry for the hijack, back to the reruns….
It's all good my friend...it's nice to have folks like you on the forumFair enough on the assumption and completely agree on the opinions, and your reply wasn’t arguing the merits just offering a cheaper alternative which I should have recognized…
My opinion (as we all have them
Good stuff. I’m curious how you like the SB? Easy install? Fitment solid?
The SB was pretty straightforward. Watch a couple videos on the install (SB. Puts them out). The hardest part was sliding the box in place. It tight and the rubber grommets that lock it into place kept falling off and I had to fish them out of engine bay or find them on the floor. I would recommend supergluing them on before trying to slide it into place. Fits and looks great in my opinion. Not sure if I tell much of a difference either way, but put it on within a couple weeks of purchase about the same time the exhaust system was installed.
Thought I had to wait till Monday, you don’t realize how much you need your truck until its gone for a week.
I want this on my Sand Dune. Mind me asking what this set you back for whole truck?
Worth it! That thing is clean, literally and figuratively!
