K&N 77-Series Installation
« on: November 24, 2006, 11:33:09 PM »
    For this installation we will be using a 2002 Chevy Avalanche.



1. In this photo, we can see the stock engine compartment of our donor truck with the intake system highlighted.


2. First, disconnect the mass airflow sensor.


3. Loosen the stock intake tube.


4. Next, remove the stock intake tube. Notice all of the restrictive bends and twists.(Note: Be careful not to drop anything into the open throttle body!)


5. Remove the factory airbox and mass airflow sensor.




7. Then, install the supplied gasket onto the Mass Airflow Sensor...


8. ...and install the mass airflow sensor onto the new heatshield.


9. Install the new K&N heatshield where the stock air box used to be.


10. Install the rubber boot onto the new heatshield.


11. Connect the new intake tube to the heatshield and throttle body.


12. Attach the K&N high-flow filter, then check all connections and you're done!

Not much. Gains of 1-3 ponies at most but is a start. Lots of folks do this mod for their own piece of mind. The factory filter is much limited on breathing air at WOT.

The most common mods are:
-Cold Air Intake
-Cats,pipes,muff

Hmmm...I was looking at the Volalant CAI.   :o

I noticed the They offer a cold air intake that resembled your post on the poor man's air intake.

Maybe I just need a new shop vac too!! :dunno:

What is the deal with the water getting into the intake??  They all breath moist air at some point.  Don't they??

If I just cut a hole in the bottom of my stock box, and run an intake like yours will it improve the stock setup I have? ???
