Spectre Performance Air Intake Kit: High Performance, Desgined to Increase Horsepower: Fits 1999-2007 CHEVROLET/GMC/CADILLAC (Silverado, Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, Yukon, Escalade) SPE-9900

Summary: Really nice unit at an excellent price. Fits perfectly on my 2005 Tahoe 5.3. This is a quality piece of hardware--well thought out and nicely manufactured. All of the pieces fit correctly with no slack or misalignment, and there clearly is a high level of engineering put into how it is designed. An anti-vibration fitting and an attachment point for the existing radiator hose "clamp" are very nice touches. There are pros and cons to the aluminum (shiny/pretty but theoretically more heat transfer), but it sure does look better than the stock plastic thing that was in there before. Installation was relatively straightforward, although the low contrast b&w pictures in the instructions left a small bit of guesswork. My "under the hood" time prior to putting this on is only a few oil changes, and I was able to get the 9900 installed perfectly in just over 1 hour. Someone who knows what they are doing could probably do it in half the time. Tricky parts for me included figuring out how the wiring harness can be unattached from the MAF and making sure all of the hose clamps were accessible, but other than that, a slow, methodical approach is all that is required to get this installed. Hint: take your cellphone or tablet to the garage with you, and query pictures for "spectre cai tahoe" if you get stuck. For me, I've noticed a small bump in performance. The Tahoe certainly is no Corvette now, but it does seem a bit more responsive. It is louder at wide open throttle, in a good way, and the truck doesn't seem any louder in day to day driving, which is also good. Not sure if I am getting any mileage improvement (too soon to tell), but I will repost if there is a significant pickup.

This was installed on my 05 K2500 HD with a 6 Liter. What a difference! Performance is greatly improved, much less throttle needed to attain freeway speed and get there much quicker. I've not noticed any difference in how the vehicle sounds. I will update later (when I remember) how fuel consumption changes if at all. Installation was pretty simple, dis-assembly was a pain. Rubber has a tendency to bond with metal as a result of heat and time. It was difficult to get the factory parts removed as they had bonded to their mating parts. Some patience and wiggling of parts and I was able to get things apart. Be careful especially with the MAF connection, in my case it was the most difficult to get apart and the sensor can be broken/damaged by brute force. The directions are pretty good however the images are difficult to see any detail and there are some holes. The new heat shield needed to be placed under and over the factory mounting plate in order to install. All-in-all it went well and I am very pleased with the appearance, performance, quality and ease of installation. A very quick and inexpensive upgrade for performance and economy.

2000 GMC SIERRA 2500LD (6.0L): I have no clue how Amazon does it! It's simply amazing, their prices are absolutely unbeatable anywhere! I have always been a K&N guy, purchasing one for my Hummer H3. I now have a Sierra and was wanting to upgrade the intake. I of course looked at the K&N kit but saw this one as one of the recommended products. Thank you Amazon! You just saved me about $150! Plus they have a promotion going right now. I ended up going with the Amazon Warehouse Deals and saved even more (basically a non-used return, didn't even look like it had been opened, perfect). This is an excellent kit. Being familiar with the K&N, I can tell you that the Spectre is 100% everything the K&N is! Seriously, there is basically no appreciable difference between the two, and this one is HALF the price!! I was absolutely impressed with the quality of this, from the nice polished intake to the huge filter. The heat shield is good quality and powdercoated. Good gaskets as well. I finally got to take an extended drive with the intake installed. I can confidently say that there is some added punch to the throttle with faster response for the big 6.0L. I was actually surprised about how noticeable it was as I wasn't expecting much. Overall, if your thinking of getting an intake, don't think twice, save your money and go with the Spectre, you are NOT loosing anything but the big name in the process and gaining some extra punch to your throttle. Also, the install instructions are well done and the entire process took about an hour (honestly could have taken about 20 min but I'm a stickler for perfection). 100% satisfied and highly recommend!

Installed this in my 2004 Chevy Silverado. Took less than 30 minutes with minimal tools needed. Feels and sounds better than my stock air intake. Cant really tell in my every day driving if a huge difference was made, but Would definitely recommend to other Chevy owners.

This air intake is simply great. The instructions were super easy to follow and included pictures to guide you along. The product itstelf was simple to put on and has a great look. The pipe is a shiny chrome and everything fits and just looks great. Added a small bit of sound at the exhaust, a little more rumble (very nice). The performance increase was also noticeable. The acceleration is a bit more responsive and has a little more power to it.

I never tried the famous K&* brand. This intake was fun too install, and I noticed immediate faster throttle response time. I think it gives me more horses, no way to tell, but I believe so. Silent when regular driving. Sounds great when I step hard on gas. Absolutely fantastic. Why would I spend double on K&* Its on a 3500 GMC with a 6.0L engine. Overall, I'm certain truck runs way way better. BTW. Im 60's yrs old guy, just want as much power as I can get.

It took me 30 mins it install from start to finish. Over all I'm happy with it, I sounds good and you can definitely tell the difference in power. For the cost of the product and the ease of installing it. Thumb's up here !!

Excellent product, we'll worth the money for my 02 Suburban......very easy installation.

Kicks f'n azz! Specially when paired with a cherry-bomb vortex muffler

Did not have spot for maf sensor
