To all the Experts and enthusiasts,
I am new to HUMMER and need some of your expert and experienced advice.


I want to upgrade my air intake of my 2006 H3.
I went through all the post, but still confused.
But I am confused between K&N (57-3043 or 77-3044KP ...?) + throttle body spacer and AirDoc + throttle body spacer.
I know both have their own advantages, but not sure which one to go with.


I haven't done any off roading yet, but will do for sure(not in mud though).
I am looking for some perfomance improvement in HP and in pickup or accelaration.


Thanks in advance.

X2 on the air doc. It keeps a closed system and the filter isn't exposed. Especially if you are going to wheel

AFE filter over K&N because the K&N filters dont clamp on too the air intake tube very well. The AFE filter fits exactly like the OEM filter and is alot better!

The problem with K&N and Airaid is the need for oil that can foul up the mass air flow sensor. Also, they allow more dirt through than paper filters.

I ditched my K&N also........... I ended up going Volant so I could have a closed system. I also went with their Donaldson Filter (all the mining companies use them which is a good sign since they have done a lot of research) Volant also make a filter cover for when you need a lot of protection (dust, water,mud)

here are some Youtube videos of me testing them with water.

So which AFE in particular, everybody is using (or recommending) and why...? (which will go with AirDoc)

Here is my S+B in the Stock Air Box, did the research and allot of your CAI kits don't really increase anything but by just changing the Air Filter is what gives you better performance. JMO

Super excited to see full installed...
