AirDoc is the best! K&N is good but it leaves your filter exposed to the elements (water/sand/dust) where as the Airdoc keeps your stock box but removes the restricting parts of the OE set up.

I used to run a K&N and switched to an AirDoc. For me I wanted the seal up my filter for any potential water crossings and after I switched I noticed that my engine seemed to run smoother and the air temps in the intake stayed within 10 degrees of the ambient air (when moving) where as my K&N temps would run all over the place.

Most of us run an AirDoc with the stock airbox. We get the benefit of a more air and a cleaner place to pull air in. I run a K&N on the road but run a paper filter when wheeling. I found the K&N got too much dust caked on it with the dusty trails here in SoCal.

For the offroad use our rigs see, I would suggest that retains the factory air box like the Air Doc or GM Performance kit (only available for 06-07's).

Seeing a link for the air doc has already been posted, here is a link to the GM Performance one

One I found on eBay for a good price

all you need is a can of Rustoleum spray on bed liner to de-bling it a little :wink:

Another option is making your own using the factory air box. Seeing you have a 06, you will want to modify the factory air box snorkel inlet with something a little bigger, a silicone reducer will work for this and is included in the Air Doc kit.

I was about to pull the trigger on a K&N CAI until I saw this thread. Looks like I'll be getting an Air Doc.
