Cold Air Intake

Hey Fellers, I have a 95 2500 5.9. My son installed a K&N cold air intake on his 08 6.7 and loves it. I already have the K&N air cleaner. Motor is stock except for that. I'd like to hear from anyone who did this mod and if it made any difference in power, don't care about the mileage. I fix broke airplanes for a living and firmly believe "If it aint broke don't fix it" Thanks

It won't increase power but may increase usable power by lowering egts.
If you're presently not having to back off the throttle due to high egts you won't gain anything.

Thanks much for the info. After reading alot of the posts it made me remember something my son said "It SOUNDS really Cool" I don't care much about how it sounds. I am forced to listen to jet noise most of my work day so the last darn thing I wanna hear is a turbo whine in my rig
I have no issues with high egt's. Have a good weekend. Tim
