K&N drop in is what you seek. The open element filters, especially in AZ, get loaded with dirt, especially if you roll around in the desert. Also, most of those open filter just become Hot-air intakes.
IMO of course. |

This. get a K&N filter for the stock airbox, then get a straight tube from the airbox to the throttle body to eliminate that stupid baffle in the intake stream. |

DO NOT PUT A K&N AIR FILTER ON A GM TRUCK!!!!!!! Or any vehicle with a mass air flow sensor. The oil off the filter coats the MAF sensor changes what the ECM is seeing and causes all kinds of drive ability problems, especially transmission issues with shifting causing it to bang very hard when shifting. Once a sensor gets coated you can not clean it, you need to replace it.
Just use stock AC Delco filters they easily last 30,000 miles. |

Only thing K&N's are worth a shit on is motorcycles and old air cooled VW's. |

Op buy a non oiled filter of your choice and a MIT tube. It’s just the pipe that goes from the stock air box to the throttle body. It’s a bit smoother and gets rid of the resonator in the intake. If you want an open element for the sound(which I get, and is a valid reason IMO) then find whatever used one you can on your local classifieds. A tune would do you a whole lot better if you are after power.

Thanks everyone for the responses.
I have had an aem dry filter before which was great because i didn’t need to oil. I’ll see if they have a drop in for my truck. I’ll also look into the MiT tube. |

Is air raid the only one making MIT tubes ? Seems excessive to spend 160 on a tube.
And AEM does have the dry flow drop in filter. 40 bux! That’s a great price considering a paper one is 15 bux |

That’s a great price considering a paper one is 15 bux I believe so, you could always try Amazon or the Chinese equivalent for a knock off version considering it’s made over there anyway. |

I think I installed a K&N air filter on it somewhere around the 150,000 mile point or so and I have not had any problems. It does throw an MAF sensor code every once in a while. That is actually my cue to clean and oil the filter. |

Stock air filter isn't very restrictive at all. That just marketing bs for the most part
That no name rough country kit will likely be more restrictive. All you will get is more noise. If you get a air intake kit get one from a big name in filters Volant, s&b, banks are a few good ones. Oiled filters typically cause issues with the maf sensors |

I recommend the Magnuson Intake, they'll ship with pulleys making around 11 PSI manifold pressure, which you will enjoy.
If you are willing to run very good FUEL, you can change pulleys and make 14 pounds of boost- you will have to be more careful, regards traction, and drivetrain weakness. |
