Quick or dumb question: Does the AFE Torque Tube fit the stock airbox??(minus all the elbows and stuff).

I believe it does. Are you think'n about just adding the tube? If so, Why? I can tell ya how to get the same benefits for about $10 bucks.

I was going to just add the tube, I'm planning on keeping the stock box for now, adding some holes.
Whaat' ya got? cheaper is better!
Thanks

Go down an pick ya up a piece of 5.5in aluminum pipe, 5'in will work. The 5.5 just fits better. Remove the plastic center/baffle section. Cut the aluminum tube the same size. Make sure you clean it before re-assembly. Then clamp it place of were the plastic tube was. You can polish the tube or paint it, I painted mine. That's it, your done. At the lower elbow there are air guides in there. You can remove them if ya want, I did. And this is what you get.




It's cheaper and I think looks nicer then the $90.00 AFE tube.

Airaid modular torque tube is a direct replacement. I just installed one.

That's cool!
So by saving $90 w/o buying torque tube, what do the remaining parts (isolation box and filter-anything else) cost?
Do you reinstall the air sensor thingy?
I sure need a intake but also the better intakes seem to cost a lot for what you get.

I bought the AFE Stage I with the new Pro Dry 'S' and then made the tube. Saved lots of money. I've had AFE on my last 3 vehicle have not been disappointed. Yes, AFE is more expensive then the other kits, but I feel it's worth the extra $$$. The way I look @ it, so what I had to save an extra month to get what I wanted and what I feel is the best filter out there.

A little heads up guys..........the vanes at the turbo inlet add 50 cfm flow.I would not remove them.Notice they were not on the lower hp versions only on the HO's Engineers do things right sometimes

Just picked up an AIRAID MIT too. I did notice a difference in the sound of the turbo. I can hear it sing to me now. Hope to get an AFE Stage I soon. Not sure if it realy helps or not but I did get a good deal on it.
