Hypermax is the "best" intercooler... however its pricey... Spearco makes a nice unit...

Stock one works just fine too... I am running a stock 6.0 IC and have no real EGT issues.

I do not like the dry filters myself, I have always run the 5 layer and no issue.

contrary to CSI i love dry filters. im stupid and forget to clean my filter as much as i should so the dry one is easier to clean and that makes me clean it more. ive got the afe pro dry with a pre filter and the thing has been on there for 3 months and the filter looks clean as can be (i pull the pre filter once a month and clean it off)

Pull your filter off, run your hand up and down the intake tube and tell me if you still like that dry filter!

i've run both AFE and S&B, the S&B is pretty nice, they have both dry and oiled filters, i'll be running an oiled filter with a pre filter from now on just for the extra protection, the DIY intakes are also good

Did u notice a difference between the two? From what I've seen of the s&b setup it seems more restrictive then the afe
