best intake.. reccomendations?
 

i have a cold air, but looks pretty home rigged..
i just bought the truck and am going to start to b uild it into a pull truck (but keep streetable for now as well)
but im going to replace it and was curious which i should go with. i was thinking afe stage 2? inputs?

also which intake elbow to get...afe bladerunner, banks twin ram...etc?
thanks for the help

the intakes have no performace gains on the 12v the banks twin ram is realy the ony one that does anything buy equaling the flow of air to all cylanders people just put them on the 12v because the look cool

:tu:icebox:choochoo:

ya dont wast your money on that, i just bought a afe filter and tore the stock box out and put the filter in with a 4" piece of pipe, just makes the turbo louder really and maybe spool a tad better or maybe thats just because i deleted my plugged cat at the same time lol, which ever it was it sound better

yea i think im just gonna buy afe stage 1 for now and maybe a torque tube if i feel the need later

ive got a afe filter hooked to my stock tube.. a piece of pvc does the connection

pic of that pvc? just curious what it comes out lookin like

the pvc is inside the filter and the hose.. u cant see it, it just gives the filter and hose something to clamp to so theyre connected

alright thats what i was confused about..how you had it off the turbo, but the way yours is is how mine is now

what he said

not 100% true they do help with air flow and if you get a true CAI it will make intake air temps go down. they do make a performance (1-5 HP) and MPG (0 -.5) gain but it is so little that is is not given credit i would go with some kind of kit imo

Oooooor you can buy the same filter as posted above for 27 bucks...

I love my BHAF!!! Ive done 531 hp with this intake on my truck

Thats all that kit is, a BHAF with a holder

looks good Jake! :tu:

me too run that with the old smokey mount on my 1st gen and going to run a BHAF on the puller too!

Don't waste your time on a BHAF if you are not going to properly enclose/heat shield it. The added intake temperature more than cancels out any gain in airflow as far as power production is concerned. You won't need that much air unless you are making 400HP anyway. The stock 1st Gen filter is rated at 450CFM, so good up to around 300HP. They were better flowing filters than what came out on the 2nd Gen's. The airbox is the restriction on a 1st Gen, and they can be fairly easily modded to increase "cold" airflow. It sounds like you already lost the stock setup somewhere along the way.

Its to bad mines going away with the twins

what ya going to run then scott?

Prolly like a AFE Pro5R filter on a custom intake tube and relocate my battery box. So i am sucking air right at the front on the truck

I agree with the heat schield as well, I'm just goin to make one out of the sheet metal... Still cheaper than most options

ya when ya do make a plate a 1in gap and another plate

can't get much better than this:c:

I like it also, its pretty good stuff. I tried to push it in to see how strong it was and its pretty stout. Should keep the big stuff out at least.

yes it is!

well im aiming for around 600 hp with my truck...

single or twins?

That filter has big holes in it....:w2: :w2:

Pretty sure the only thing thats going to "filter" is large rocks lol

and small children lol

that velocity tube is f**king awsome

single for now, twins eventually

So whats the deal with this, just let the dirt flow through the turbo ? :pca1:

"Compitition use only" :D

That would be better used for draining spaghetti.

to let cool air into the turbo while keeping the bigger things out, not as much dust and dirt get in there as you may think


hey it has a bling factor too lol

lol

I'm suprised I don't see anyone runnong a hood scoop ducted to thier air intake, like the old Ram Air musclecars. That would have to be cooler than any air comin out of the engine compartment. :c:
