A starved turbo results in frustrating throttle delay and sluggish performance, especially when hauling heavy loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Aftermarket Intake Trap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpgrading your intake shouldn't cause a headache. Unfortunately, many aftermarket intakes for the LB7 suffer from poorly designed Mass Air Flow (MAF) housings. This causes air turbulence over the sensor, triggering rough idling, air-fuel deviations, and the dreaded P0101 Check Engine Light (CEL). By utilizing a high-flow black air filter, a black powder-coated intake tube, and a heat-blocking shield, we force a massive volume of dense, cold air directly into your turbo for instant response and unleashed power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD \/ 3500HD 6.6L Duramax LB7\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD \/ 3500HD 6.6L Duramax LB7\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision-Calibrated MAF Housing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEngineered with the exact housing diameter and airflow angles required by the LB7 Duramax.

If your truck is an early-2004 with the LB7 engine, yes. If it is a late-2004.5 with the LLY engine, no.

You will feel an immediate improvement in turbo spool and throttle response on a stock truck. However, to unlock the absolute maximum horsepower gains, pairing this intake with a custom tune is highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is a Pre-Filter included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pre-filter (filter sock) is a breathable cover that slips over the main black air filter.
