I have an S&B love it so far works well and it also is supposed to clean the best I've heard of one person who has a afe and said if he were to get another it'd be S&B

i have an S&B in my truck, i love it, gives under the hood a good clean look, and it flows really well also, pick one up for around 280 bucks, or go the tymar route which is still really good and its also cheaper for around 140ish? a little less i think but hit up Riff Raff Diesel for either of those, he's a great guy to work with

Ok, starting to figure this out, a little, a tymar isnt a cold air, just less restrictive, what are the stages about, stage 1, stage 2, and so on?

Ok, so the stages refers to the air intake only, so as the stages increase it is a better air intake?
