Need some advice on which intake/coil covers to run on 2005 5.3 truck engine?
So I am at a loss as to which intake cover/coil cover route to go? I don't care for the little plastic stock "vortec" plastic intake cover that came with my Engine. I do like some of the Corvette plastic and Escalade 3 piece kits but are they compatible with the truck manifold? motor is 2005 Silverado 5.3.
Accessory brackets have been changed to include a narrower footprint for my narro engine compartment. This looks like it could be an issue for some of the 3 piece GM covers that I have seen. What are my options? Thoughts?

Just a thought, i was where you are a couple years ago. I decided after seeing the costs to do some of the other ideas to just go with a new intake and Throttle Body combo. Summit Racing has some nice combos for decent price.
Anyways, just a thought. |

I like the way some of the aftermarket intakes look but was not sure if mechanically it would be an upgrade? What did you end up spending on your set up?

I was gt too be honest and tell you .....i'm not sure. I just got mine initially tuned by my tuner., so I have yet to drive and I have never drove it without. I completely rebuilt my motor with full kit including the"hot cam" kit from WS6Store. Which I do recommend them in case your wondering. So I am the one to answer that question. With that said, .....i'm overly pleased with what I've found with it! Again, I have redone the motor beyond stock. Looks il real you are 10x better that I can promise. I've seen videos of guys cutting and sanding the stock intakes to max same them look better and they really do, but for the time and effort, I just went new.
Sorry .....i'm not more help. |
