Has anyone installed the AEM brutforce air filter system in their truck and how do you like it> trying to choose the right air filter. for my 06

 

EQUIPPRO,

Do a search here and at TDR as well. There were two members that had installed it and lost almost 10 PSI boost pressure because of the restriction it had etc. Take a look at the AFE Stage I and II systems with the Pro Guard 7 filter. Stops the dirt flows the air too! Call us if you have any questions etc.

I've got one and have had no issues with it so far. It lowered my EGTs about 100-150 degrees. The inside of the intake tube is clean, so I don't think any dirt is getting through. I have taken the filter off a few times and wiped the inside of the tube. No dirt has come out on the white rag. I am seeing around 30-32 PSI boost at WOT on my stock turbo.

For the price I am pretty pleased with it

 

I had mine of for almost a year, Check out the pictures in my gallery. I finally removed the AEM to install a S&B system. I still used the dryflow from the bruteforce system. I finally got tired of the noise. The turbo noise was nice but all of the air sucking noise was too much. I still don't believe that the system causes any restrictions as claimed by others. My boost actually increased two psi (32).

 

i love my aem...

 

s&b air filters are now eight layers of cotton. here is an excerpt of an email i got from the president of s&b about their air filters.

If you are thinking about buying the AFE intake kit, you are right it is over priced. If you buy their “standard filter” it is very likely that your efficiencies will not be acceptable. In other words, it is going to let the dirt by the filter. If you buy their dramatically over priced “Proguard 7” filter then you will definitely stop the dirt, but the problem will be that you are also severely restricting the airflow. We have thoroughly tested AFE’s filters and intake kits and will be releasing the test results shortly. Ask AFE for their ISO 5011 Test Results for the intake kit your specific vehicle; so that you can see what the true improvement in airflow is while still being assured that the filter will stop the dirt. Again, our intake kit for this vehicle stops 99.33% of the dirt and still flows 39.2% better than the OE induction system and can be purchased on our web site for $198.97 which includes FREE shipping. Our part number is 75-153

 

This is the kit I bought. Humm, maybe I should reinstall their air filter. I just don't like the oil filters though.

 

Has anyone done an oil analysis on AEM DryFlow and ProGuard 7 filters to determine the silicate count (dirt) that is really being passed? Recently installed my AEM DryFlow so it will be a few months before I do an oil analysis.
