It won't run right and it will throw codes, they are necessary for the computer to set engine peramiters

 

thanks i aint to up to date on these modern engines ive always worked on older ones

 

how would u tell if either of em was bad

 

My Volant CAI

 

Personally, I would stick to the GOTTS intake mod only. I recently removed the intake silencer and it did not make any gains,

After I removed the silencer, I measure the ID of my throttle body and the the ID of my silence and noted the ID of the silencer was slightly larger than the TB ID, therefore no more air can be forced into TB.

With that said, I did notice why there is a silencer in place. Now when I go WFO (wide f'n open), there is a throaty sound under the hood. Sounds kinda cool, but doesnt do anything to make the truck perform any better.

When I did the GOTTS mods, all I added was the 3" rubber joint from the hardware store. I didnt seem to need the PVC pipe as mine already lined up quite nicely.

 

If either were bad it would throw a code

 

is here any way i cud make sumthin like a cai with the original say i put a kandn filter on there but just had it to were its suckin air strait from the filter

 

Why would you want to make it like a CAI that is open? Do the Gotts mod and pull fairly cool air from the fender and not hot air.

 

The Gotts mod is the way to go and put a K&N filter in the stock housing. It still uses the stock tubing but draws more air from the fender. you have to have the sensors between the filter and throttle body either way you do it or itll throw codes and mess up the computer

 

I just recently did the gotts mod and threw in a k&n filter. My truck felt a lot smoother and it feels like it can actually breathe. I recommend it. Only about 60 bucks total compared to like 300.
