The af1(air force one) from troyer performance is really good. I've heard whoever makes the af1 went under tho. Hard to find parts or help if something goes wrong. I would just go with a k&n or the gotts mod. Did both and stayed with the gotts. Hope that helps a little.

DO THE GOTTS MOD. a K&N CAI is a gain of about 9.44 hp in our trucks. if you do the gotts mod and silencer mod and install a hiflow airfliter like a K&N or an hpR its just as good or even better than a CAI. you can feel the power gains from the gotts mod. besides how can a CAI with and open air filter sitting on top of the engine get the air colder than cold air rushing in through the fender? Troyer Pefrormance did a test with the gotts mod vs 4 or 5 CAI for our trucks and the gotts mod beat all of em except the AF1. (i cant find the link now but if you search google for a bit you should find the article.)

Wow - another 'cold' air intake non-believer! Don't spread it around - you'll get crucified!

I was one of them until I did the gotts mod and I still have the paper filter in.

its simple, these trucks dont need a CAI. with just a few simple mods to the stock set up you can gain just as much just as much power (maybe more) as a CAI would and save 280+ dollars.
