LS Swap Air Cleaner... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So for those of you who have done LS swaps, preferably with car intake, what did you use for your cold air intake?

akdg87 · 03-16-2015, 03:24 PM

on my 55 i used about 8' of aluminum piping from the turbo with the filter mounted to that

on a serious note there are plenty of options, you can piece your own together with components from siliconeintakes.com or you can try and make something work with a kit from k&n or the like thats vehicle specific. On my DD (94 Tahoe) i bought a 99-07 gmc truck CAI from spectre then hacked it up to work.

Get a k&n and a cheap Silverado intake for the tube off eBay, only 4" I could find. I used 2

Here is a sneak peak of what I've been working on, you can see the intake in this shot

Engine with intake pic. I ended up buying more couplers to replace the red/orange for black on Amazon. I also fabricated my air intake bracket out of some 1"X1/8" aluminum flat bar to help support everything.

I used that same one x2 I cut one to fit, and don't try using that cheap filter, get a reliable k&n

So you scraped the Silverado intake tube? Your engine looks nice

Robznob11 · 03-18-2015, 10:48 PM

That's 2 Silverado tubes, but I cut one into 3 pieces so that I could extend over behind the headlight, I have some coil covers done too just need to paint them then it will look like I want. Also have red to cover all the hoses. Many it will be done next week for new pics. Thanks for the compliment...

If you changed the color of the rubber and A/C, what parts did you use?
