I am about to start building a Custom forced air intake on my 04 2wd 4.8 hoe. can you guys post pics of yours or others to give me some ideas. thanks alot!!!

Home Depot & hardware stores, bahh, use www.intakehoses.com they have good stuff for you DIYers on intakes. You know they just make noise and dont give you any noticeable HP right? If your looking for a HP gain, all you can do is chip it without doing internal engine work.

Mike is right the engine already has all the air it can use!!

I just did mine for looks & sound, it sells for $149 out the door at Pepboys with air wall & all. I will be changing the filter it came with, I am ordering a K&N 4" clamp-on.

Is it K&N? One for mine is 300!

My intake & filter is all made by Spectre, but the filter is so so, kinda thin. It was on the aisle, not a special order either. Did not cause any CE lights either at all. My old Home Cheapo( Depot) one did.

4.8L... well there's your problem

I wouldn't bother w/home depot solutions for cars, they never look right...

If GM could spend $5.00 and get more HP from your truck they would have...

less restrictive exhaust and or a chip might add HP... but might make it louder and or sacrifice reliability...

Huh i think I am going to make one we have a CNC bender at my work so I could make one and put a K&N Filter on it!

i have a k&n replacement filter already installed and a magnaflow muffler. chips are kinda expensive so i was gonna do the least expensive things first. any other ideas? and what is the best chip for the money right now?

Mike Sigmond

You get what you pay for, I dont know much about specific chips for your engine, I like mine stock, I am about longevity, but thats just me.
