  • Hey, I have an 01 Tahoe with a 5.3L in it... I need a new intake system and want a throttle body... Does Airaid sell theirs as a package? Do you guys? Thanks!

  • @vansglyde21 I checked our part number database and Airaid has both an intake and a TBS for your Tahoe. As far as I know, no one sells them as a package, but I'd be happy to hook you up with a package deal. There are several different options for your vehicle... Airaid MPX intake, standard intake, oiled or dry filter, TBS with or without nitrous port, etc. Let me know which part numbers you want and I'll set you up with a special price.

  • I just installed one of these on my 2011 Nissan frontier and I have problems with it idling too high. Its idles at about 1100 warmed up. The service engine light is on now also. Any ideas what the cause of this could be?

  • @JRTFrontier Hard to say without seeing it, but it sounds like an issue with the throttle cable. I would investigate that and make sure it's been reinstalled properly, and that there is nothing causing a kink in it. If that looks ok, you could try adjusting the throttle cable tension.

  • guys is this really give more HP or more MPG ?

  • @Aqrab1 It certainly can, but how much depends on your engine, other modifications and how you drive. I'd recommend going to our site (there's a link directly underneath the video) and read through the product reviews. Make sure to select your vehicle! :)

  • @JRTFrontier go buy a ford lol joke it could be you put it on backwards

  • This is how you inprove mpg; 1. USE PREMIUM FUEL ONLY !!!!! It eliminates "spark knock", "bogging", and poor throttle response. 2. Keep spark plugs, air filter, and cap/rotor (if equiped) clean. 3. Routine oil changes, use semi or full synthetic if possible. 4. Always check tire pressure. 5. Row up the damn window, and turn on the A/C. Driving with the window down creates a "parachute effect". 6. Run a can of Sea Foam through the brake booster vac line, with engine running at 2,000 RPM.

  • She said "helic" not "helix".

  • @89Carfreak if you really want to try it out, go to fleabay(ebay) and buy a knock off one from there, 40 bucks shipped and it look identical to this, try it out.. no help whatsoever... want to save gas? make sure your truck has a fresh tune up, clean injectors and go easy on the throttle. Want more power? A customized tune will do that for about 300-400 dollars! Dont have that kinda money to spend?? well guess what jackass, I just saved you 100 by not buying this crap, thats a start!! good luck!
