The truck has a K&N FIPK CAI (it was expensive, but definitely the best bang for the buck. You cant go wrong with K&N...)


The car has a F5 Performance CAI with a K&N filter.

Gentlemen, a similar thread on another forum is getting a lot of attention and I thought we might bring this one back to life. The Vararam is said to have some quality issues and the homemade's are cost effective and the others have their pro'd and cons.

I have a K&N-77 wrapped with isulation and it delivers ambient temperature air. Is there more a guy can ask from a CAI?

With that said, if I was to do it again I would have kepted the OEM air box and just installed a Airaid Jr tube, with the top hat removed.

So what are you running and do you like it?

I saw where the OEM airbox was used with the Airaid Jr pipe and the owner (Sil) moved the IAT to the outlet of the airbox. This looks good, but also would give the lowest signal before giving the air a chance of heating up. It wouldn't cool the inlet air but would provide the best signal.

I'm running an S&B intake and it seems to be doing it's job. Truck seems a little peppier and will break the back tires loose again like it would before adding the 35's
