His so-called cold air intake pulled under hood hot air into one of those crappy open element window screen oiled air filter. I bet the small debris his duramax engine is chewing on doesn't help longevity much!!
I have since looked at many aftermarket so-called cold air intake systems and hence my ls 68c10 doesn't breath through one of them.

I came back from the GM Desert Proving Ground to design that air induction system for the GMT800 models. It is still in use.
I'm not a fan of the aftermarket systems.
