Review on Airaid AIR 200 996 M I T Modular Intake by Bobby Aghetoni

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasantly surprised

To be honest, I had no expectations before this purchase. I wasn't expecting much from a $140 part, but I was pleasantly surprised. I installed this on a 4.8 liter 07 GMC Sierra 1500 (NBS). The impact on normal driving conditions is minimal, although my engine makes a nice raspy growl at 1500 rpm I've noticed an efficiency gain of about 0.3mpg. After about a week of regularly driving around town, I drove from Dallas to Houston to pick up a trailer full of heavy shop tools. Long-distance trips saw a massive 1-1.5mpg increase, which was exciting, but once I hitched the trailer and actually started the engine, I really saw an improvement. Where I used to haul a load at 11mpg, I got 14.8mpg, which amazed me. While the numbers may seem small, those gallons saved add up, and anyone who's ever driven a truck any distance should jump at the chance to save almost 4mpg. I think €140 is a good investment.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Useless features
