I have one and it makes an instant difference in throttle response and the feel of your truck.

Have you guys noticed any difference with your gas mileage with your new intakes?

im a big fan of the AEM brute force with the dry flow filter.. but S&B and AFE also make solid intakes. i would not buy any intake that has an oiled filter because it screws with the sensors.. but hey thats just me..good luck

Default Warranty and Intake

Are there any issues with factory and extended warranties with intake changes?

"Oiled" filters will not mess up your sensors as long as you clean and re-oil them as recommended by the manufacturer (in other words: don't over oil them like many people tend to do). I have used "oiled" cotton high-flow filters for years without a single sensor problem.

+1. Never had an issue with them and I've run them since the 70's.
