I did it on my 05 and saw 0 difference. It was a good excuse to get in the garage and drink some beer though.
I cut the end off the adapter before install

Your butt dyno will see/feel the same difference with the Gotts mod and a $300 intake. Neither are going to dramatically increase hp.
Gryphon offers:
· Gains of up to 35 HP and 45 ft/lbs (5.4L 3-Valve engine)
· Gains of up to 25 HP and 40 ft/lbs (4.6L & 5.4L 2-Valve engine)

You wont notice any difference on the intake unless your very hi up in RPMs.
You will notice a difference with a tuner/ programmer. The gryphon that shotgun is telling you about is an awesome one. I just got mine last week and wow. A few other guys here have them and like them.

Mr. XXXX,
We appreciate your consideration of our products and services. Given your situation, I'll try to provide some recommendation for you.
First, removing the cats isn't beneficial anyway so we're good there. The catback exhaust systems provide enough increase in flow without severely sacrificing low RPM torque. We also generally don't recommend CAI kits as they've not show to provide any significant gains over the stock induction system... with one exception. The snorkel that protrudes into the fender is the "bottleneck" of the stock intake system. Removal or replacement of that individual piece provides the same performance increases as an entire CAI kit at a fraction of the cost.
You didn't indicate that you do any heavy towing, so I'll assume for the moment that you don't. My best recommendation are as follows:
If you decide to pursue the CAI kit and do NOT tow, I would recommend going with a custom 87 Performance program (for daily driving), a custom 93 Performance program (for more aggressive performance), and leave the original Transmission Only in place. If you do tow, I'd replace the Transmission Only with a custom 87 Towing program.
If you do not go with the CAI kit, I'd still go with the custom 87 Performance program and just leave the original 87 Towing and 93 Performance programs in place.
The programmer is $399.00 plus shipping and custom tunes are $30.00 for each level.
I hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you.
Take care.

12 Second Truck
Why true duals? The stock headers, manifold, and y-pipe will support over 400rwhp. A decent catback system from Magnaflow for instance will support 500+. I don't see where true duals would be of any benefit on a basically stock truck.
