Can anyone recommend or provide information on aftermarket Intake systems for SUV's, more specifically, a 2000 GMC Jimmy? Either general pros and cons, or specific product names with reviews would be greatly appreciated.

 

Yeah any help would be appreciated. I was trying to find some tuning options for my friends Acura MDX. I think that you whould look at the TNN website under the show called TRUCKS! i think that they have some sponsors there that offer tuning options. Also I saw a commercial not long ago for something called a power programmer, but to be honest it looked like crap. I also think that there was a company called Hyper-Tech that offered tuning options for trucks. Clearly, a turbo truck will have more room to tune than a NA engine. What you really want is a method of chipping the truck, or a new ECU. That wil get you a lot more power, but the big american engines all see to be under performers IMHO. I think that your best bet would be something like the S-AFCII, but I don;t know how well that reacts with factory ECU. Good luck.

 

Oh come on Doug, haven't you and I already had this conversation? Remember you're looking for an intake for a non-Vortec motor (unlike my 'rents Jimmy)

Take a peek under your hood since this is the bad boy you'll most likely end up getting. I'll take pics of our motor and give you a peek at what the Vortec looks like as opposed to yours.

 

excellent work. proceed. NOW.










So would KNFilters be the brand to go to?

 

i've always felt that K&N were the top producer of filtration materials and systems. i buy K&N oil filters, and my intake is a cheap (it was cheap, but damned effective) copy of a K&N product

 

well then, sounds like its onto the warranty issues..........

You should know better than that when hanging out with me...

 

So in other words, I'm good to go?

 

you're sounding like a newb, doug

i'm too lazy to read the SEMA stuff, but as far as i know, as long as the dealer can't point at it and say "that directly caused a problem", you should be ok

 

bah, i'm only a n00b when it comes to actual automotive knowledge.

 

Sorry about the pixelation but had to shrink the image. Compare the Vortec bay against yours Doug.
