Yes, Rich recommended. Suppose to be the best at cleaning air. Think it may also do with how much horsepower or future mods you want.
Oh those sounds are not obnoxious to me....I rarely even think to turn my radio on 'cause I'm listening to them. LOL

My Banks is open bottom too. You can buy and add a super scoop for it. Just wondering if the S & B can with a scoop or not.

Did you buy from Rich?

I'm asking because I want an elbow and for the month of August, S & B is running a rebate when you buy an intake and elbow together. Thoroughbred sells the pair for $549, the rebate is $39. I know a lot of people are high on S & B and not so much on Banks.

I'm just not sure it's worth paying the money for the S & B set versus selling my Banks versus buying a Banks elbow.

I know that certain models/years had the scoop. Can't remember if mine did or not. Would most likely say no or I would have bought one. If you find out different let me know.

Yes, bought from Rich.

I have asked Rich/and others about the elbow and was told waste of money. UNLESS, you are looking at getting into the over 500hp range.

Looking at the S&B website, seems they have changed the intake for my truck. I can update to the latest model and get the scoop...ummmh

Need to double check what model I have on the truck now!

I do like S & B's upgrade/update program. That's a great perk for customers.
