Hey everyone brand new to the forum and just bought a gently used 21 elevation, haven’t even seen it yet and I’m researching lol been a member of many many forums over the years, I’ve previously owned 2 Chevy 6.2s, 2 Chevy 6.5s, 1 duramax (05) 3 dodge cummins (2001, 2006, 2011) and a Chevy transplanted with a cummins, a Jetta tdi, a jeep grande Cherokee 3.0 crd, and a kenworth with a CAT. Lol
Can’t wait to see, drive, and mod my new to me mini-max!

Welcome from a fellow Canuck. Love your user name. First one of this colour I have seen so far and it looks sharp.
 
Gotta love them there Cats! Welcome.
 
Got a look at my new whip today finally and a little bonus under the hood is a cold air intake! I can cross that off the top of my list of things I can’t afford but probably can’t live without lol
 
Awesome.. which intake is it?
S&B I don’t know how much of a difference it makes you guys will probably have a better idea my last couple diesels people were saying the factory airbox was so efficient that a cold air intake really didn’t make much difference 🤷🏻‍♂️

You notice an increase in engine noise or is it about the same?

I just bought this truck and it came with it, it was a nice little bonus I can definitely hear the turbo a little bit sucking and whooshing… it’s the song of my people so I like that but I never drove it with the stock airbox to know what it sounded like.
 
I think most say you get some air noise.. but I'm hesitant for any MPG/power claims..

Yeah I agree my 2011 Cummins they said when It came right down to it the factory airbox was so efficient the cold air intake made no difference 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
And CAI's have been debunked as BS and maybe even hurts performance, most of the time being a HAI.

Ya if they aren’t ducted down into the grill or something they aren’t cold air intakes we shouldn’t call them that, it’s just a habit. I do think the smooth pipe/elbows are better than some stock intakes with the ribbed flex elbows. But factory air box’s have come a long way in the last decade or so and besides a little more turbo noise from the open air box I doubt there’s much advantage. Hopefully it’s not LESS efficient.
