I love my S&B. LOTS more noise. I think I get a faster spool. I can't really say about mileage since I put it on just before winter.

S&B's are great intakes. We have some great deals going on with Quadzilla Monster Intakes. They use a AFE ProDry Filter Element.

With Icebox you get to choose what filter you want to use, you also get to choose the color. Icebox also has a lifetime warenty even if your truck is wrecked.
Made in the U.S.A.

Some of the most popular colors are red, candy blue, white, and silver. We stock lots of other colors also. If there is a need for some out of the ordinary color there is a small charge for that. The filter that we prefer is the S&B, however filters like Amsoil Nano are also very good. The Icebox is made of 16 Gage cold rolled steel and welded together. If you have handled other products that say they are made of 16 Gage and than pick up an Icebox, you will know what who uses the good stuff. Each and every box is built and welded by hand, not by a machine. We take great pride in what we build.
