I''m new to this forum but it seems like it will be helpful and a lot of fun! I belong to a similar boating forum.

I have a 2008 Tahoe Z71. I tow a heavy 27 foot boat with it. I love to add easy upgrades that will give me even the slightest performance increase- without voiding my warranty since this Tahoe is brand new.

I think I''m going to add the GM PERFORMANCE PARTS (17800809) air intake kit. I have heard from some people that it is better quality and better designed than K&N, Air-raid, etc... I don''t know for a fact that that''s true....

Will this air intake system give me any performance increase at all? I''m not looking for huge gains, just a little would be fine. Better gas mileage might be too much to ask for- but some people swear that these DO improve the gas mileage.

I want the intake/engine to sound a little louder/tougher but not to the point that it''s annoying.

Lastly- is it easy to install? Does everything line up like it''s supposed to? Hoses, clamps, MAF sensor, etc....

Thanks for any advice any of you have. I used a similar system on my 2002 Tahoe Z71 (K&N) and it worked well.

Well, I haven''t heard from any of you guys. I ordered the part today from my dealer. In the next week or two i will install it and try it out. then I''ll post my experience with it in case anyone else is wondering about this add-on.
