TB spacer and CAI ?
 
hey guys i have a 04 2500 hd and im wondering if i put a volant CAI and a throttle body spacer on if it will hit the fan blades... it looks like it might but i want some other opinions before i go and order my stuff

The shroud will need trimmed. If positioned just right it will not hit the fans.

I bought the volant CAI and a TBS also. Volant says you can't use both. I'm not willing to trim the fan shroud to get it. I unfortunately ordered everything before i discovered this, so now I have a Trandapt TBS in the box the I can't install.

Thats a real good question. I have a cold air ind. and Iwas thinking about addinga spacer. I was gonna do some measuring first. Im not willing to trim the shroud either so now I have my answer, guess I'm not getting one- thanks guys.

You might want to contact S&B intakes and ask if there would be any compatibility problems with their kit. S&B is just as good as Volant and cheaper.

my S&B intakefit perfectly with a Airaid Poweraid TB spacer on my 07 silverado nbs 5.3, i have some pics but i was unable to load them last night, check out my thread in the next day or so, S&B CAI and Poweraid TB Spacer, i will have them posted there. The intake took a little adjusting but i had no issues once everything was said and done. Hope this helps.

The TBS spacer basically does nothing... and it won't fit with the CAI. Just stick with the CAI and return your TBS ... its about as useful as a box of rocks.

You know I hear a lot about TBS's but I am not completely sold on them either. Does anyone that has used one have any feedback on after you installed it? Did it make a difference at all??
