I've only driven like 5 miles so too soon to make a ruling on it.

It fits good and seems to be well made. There are some "optional" steps in the instructions that I would recommend as it really cleans things up and just seems like the way it should be.

You have to cut a couple zip ties that they don't include the factory style connectors in the kit so you have to remove the factory clips and use some of your own zip ties.

I would shop around and pay less than AFE direct. RDP store was great and had a good price. The shipping delays weren't their fault and they are stand up people.

 

Alright thanks for the info man.

I guess let us know once you get some miles on it.

last question, does it come with a dry filter or what options did you get?

 

I got the pro dry s filter. But you can get an oiled version as well.

Or you can get the stage 3 intake from AFE for near 800 bucks. Lol

 

I plan on getting the pro dry as well. Dont like or think the oiled versions are a good idea.

As for the stage 3 they can stick that $800 POS straight up their a**es.. haha pretty sure there is really no difference between the 2. Other than the ridiculous price ofcourse.

 

so hows it performing sir?

 

Ok so here is my 200 mile review.

The fit and finish is at least as good as oem, maybe better.

Install was ok. Wasn't horrible, but wasn't terrible easy. Instructions were ok but not great.

There is some intake noise and my exhaust is a bit louder. It seems like there is some more power there, but I have not dynoed and it's not a dramatic increase.

My fuel economy has improved a bit surprisingly. Maybe .2-.3 per gallon. Again, no hard data but I've been seeing better numbers for sure and actually managed my first trip over 20 mpg. (Flat, 61 mph)

RDP cut me a great price on this as well. I see AFE has raised the price again.

If I had to do it over, I'm not sure I'd do it again for the price. I didn't pay anywhere near the suggested retail, but I'd feel better about my purchase if it was maybe 50-75 cheaper than I paid.

The price on the AFE stage 3 intake is insane in comparison though. Ha.

 

i'm supposed to pick up my truck in the next week or two, so i'll have to see what you guys have once i take delivery. i'm local to you guys. good to know there's someone close! (also this is my first post wheeeeee)
