Hello to all out in Armada land! I currently live in Iowa- grew up in VA then moved to FL for school! We purchased our 05 Armada LE loaded in August of 06. It is probably the best car/suv we have ever owned so far. My wife likes the factory look but where is the fun in that. I personally would like to throw some 24's on it, redo the grill, and definitley retrofit it with a KN Airfilter system adding another 12-16 horses. The only issue I have with my MADA is - when it is windy i hear and feel the wind through my front passenger door. I have had the dealership look at it and they keep telling me there is nothing wrong that they can fix! It will get fixed one way or the other. well, till next time- take care. "D"

Welcome! Hopefully you can persuade the wifey :) but be careful...once you start with the modifications its HARD to stop!
Welcome to the Club!!!! :hi:
If you're going with the K&N Drop-In Filter there's not any gain over a clean OEM Filter, it just lasts longer between "recharges" and doesn't need to be replaced (I have one). ;) If you're looking at the K&N CAI, a Injen, Volant, or S&B will put the K&N to shame. You might want to checkout our site sponsors, especially Burtman.

Also, checkout the 2 Degree Timing Advance and Air Box Mod in my Signature. VERY Cheap and pretty affective.
