Air filter Replacement
Are air intakes really worth getting? Or should i just get the Air filter replacement?
I saw that K&N has a replacement filter and so does Airaid, Which one is better out of those two?
I drive a 2012 silverado crew cab/4.8l. by the way
Thanks in advance..

total waste imo. In addition, alot of cai systems will set numerous drivability dtc on the newer trucks. You will not notice any power increase; all they do is look nice. They are not functional. Some cai don't even isolate the filter from underhood hot air. Oiled filters crude up the maf sensor...only use these on speed density fuel metering systems. Stick with a oem air filter only...not even conventional aftermarket filters made to fit the oem air filter box.

Write the date that you installed the filter on the side of the pleating of the filter, that way when you check it and even if it looks clean if its more then a year old you'll know to replace it... my 2¢
On a side note, some CAI systems remove the stock air baffle(s) so the air coming into the engine can make a throat-er sound much like changing the exhaust...
