I dunno

I put a CAI on one truck and it was like, WOW cant believe what I was missing. I have done 2 other trucks that only made noise.

Same thing with changing to K&N air filters. Some vehicles really seem to benefit from it, others it doesn't phase at all. I guess it all depends on the design of the stock intake.

They wouldnt make them for every style of vehicle known to man if they didn't work.

Let's apply that statement to the tornado shall we.

The actual box usually isn't the problem, it it the tubing connecting the box to the throttle body.

I did actually just use the airraid jr kit on my 03 yukon. It fit me well. I didn't notice any real power difference per say, but did see a slight mileage increase.
