Cold Air Intakes- Input and suggestions

I would like to have everyones opinion on what you think is the best CAI. I am looking to either buy a kit or make my own since I would like to run mine to the drivers side since I am keeping my battery in the stock passenger location. If you ran your CAI to the drivers side, Id like to know what you did, and also what you think is a good product for the money. I know K&Ns are pricey but that seems like what everyones going with these days

In my 92 5.3 swap I cam out of the throttle body and went straight down to behind my 4x4 skid plate. Then drilled (2) 1.5" holes in the plate and put the filter right there. Works great especially since I have it all wrapped in thermal wrap.

The TRT truck is like that and that intake tube is LOUD. Whistles like crazy. I like it.

They're always a good thing to have, but that being said, You can order tubing from siliconeintakes and make your own fairly easily.

Thanks looks like they have a lot to choose from. Ill prob end up doing that, I was hoping there was a easy kit I could just bolt on that would run to my drivers side

4" silicone 90*, 4" tubing, filter, and clamps. Thats all you really need.

It's a truck that a member on here used to own. It was sold to another member, then sold to a kid, then sold to another kid. Cam/stall/nitrous in an OBS stepside.

lmao well seeing as I play in the dunes alot I dont think I want to be feeding my engine that much sand. just the maf would be good for street drivin though. And for everyone else, I dont think I am going to run the filter to the drivers side. After staring at it for 20 mins I realized it is going to be hard to do for 2 reasons...First the fan is RIGHT THERE so the tube would have to make an immeadiate 90 degree right turn. second, I wouldnt be able to do a 90 degree right turn bc my alternator is right there unless I go up and over it. So I am going to order a drivers side batt tray(which brings me to another question-whats the difference between the left tray for a 88-95 and 96-98 truck cause apparently theres a 60 dollar difference on LMC truck.)

you can get the driverside tray for 5 bucks at the junkyard , clean it and painted its much cheaper and better.

im going with the h2 kit. it puts the filter in the stock location for the obs. so i get to keep my batt in the stock location.
