Not gonna get any real gains from it. They make the truck sound mean though. I have an AFE intake and I love it

It's a waste of money, just do the GOTTS intake mod, it does the same thing an A/M intake does but you barely pay anything for it.

you can use 3" exhaust tubing and an intake boot. That's what I did on my buddy's truck.

Paint will do wonders my friend. Get some black paint and you'll be golden. Well, actually black but you know what I mean.

Plus would you rather pay what, $200+ for a fancy K&N intake when you can get the same performance out of $10-$15 worth of supplies? The PVC pipe isn't even that noticeable, it's just replacing the rubber boot that goes through the inner fender. If you paint it black you'll never notice it.

I was thinking I'll either do that or get PVC pipe and paint it black. Probably try the exhaust tubing though for a nicer look. Did you have to do anything to get the exhaust tubing to fit, or did it fit right in the intake hole?

Oh, also do you happen to have a picture of it done on your buddies truck? Or could you get me one?
