Which Intake????
 

Looking at intakes and want to know which one is best for the money. Lookin at AFE, Volant, maybe Banks, and others.....Want a good one and don't know which to go after. I like the AFE but it seems rather expensive. Any input would be nice. Thanks in advance...

I got the AEM brute force and I am happy with it. I did change to an amsoil filter once time came. I think for hte most part they will all do the same thing so iwould just shop around for the best price.

i went with the Summit Racing brand intake for my truck. it was a K&N FIPK in a white box. had all the K&N instructions, filter, stickers and everything. and it, the tube, boots, brackets, heatshield, clamps, everything was under $200 when i got it 8 months ago. they are now $209 for my truck and yours(SUM-57-1532). this thing is WAY better than the stock one.

Gonna have to disagree with Benjamin on this one. I would put ANYTHING on but a K&N...Had one on my truck when I got it, and it hit the trash can after a few weeks. They let in too much dirt and dont have enough layers of filter media for my taste.

It really depends on your HP goals, but I like the AEM workhorse (with the dry filter), the AFE stuff is good too (Proguard 7 filter or their new dry filter), S&B look pretty good as well, or you could go with the tried and true BHAF (although it may not be the best option).

I am running an AMSoil 4510 Nano filter, and it filters well, but after off roadin my truck just a few times, I went to clean it and it was dang near caked. I may go with a BHAF like everyone swears by and run the AMSoil when im just city/highway driving. The AMSoil one jsut got too dirty too fast IMO.

I'm running the new AFE Pro Dry 'S'. Always had good luck that why I went back. I made my own torque tube.

BTW, theres the guy I bought my intake from. Thanks Tye...


Fix up yer pics eh.....lol


I dont think them boys like to share pics....

different strokes for different folks.... i've never had any problems with mine.... i even had the stock replacement K&N on for 80K miles and had no problems with it..... even if you didn't want the filter the tube and heatshield are nice...... sell the filter off to someone else.... they'll bring $50 easy so all you'll have in the whole deal is like $150.... then buy a dry filter listed in the other posts.....

Yeah, just relaying my personal experience with it. Maybe it was overoiled - I dunno. I didnt oil it so thats hard to tell.

I too used to have a K&N fipk on my 06 but everytime I would take the filter off to clean there would be a grayish color film inside the torque tube. I switched to the amsoil nano and now the tube is always clean. I think K&N's are fine for gassers but not for turbo diesels due to how much airflow is required.
