Default is my air filter too small for an Lq4 6.0?


My air filter has a 3.5 inch inlet and it's 5.5 inches wide. Is this bbk filter sufficient?

I'd just keep it and focus on other mods

It's pretty stock right now with just a tune and 2.5 inch dual exhaust with an x pipe. From idle to 3000 rpm under load, it sounds like a duramax diesel intake sound minus the turbo spool. It revs up fast so so far it seems fine.

That's more than plenty. Even cheap 3" spectre filters flow enough for 500hp.
