air intake systems

Got a new 07 Mega 5.9, what are most of you using for air intake system?
There is a plug on top of the factory airbox, what exactly is it and what do I do with it if I change the box and filter.?

Any aftermarket system will have the plug for the sensor you will just eliminate the reset button.. I would recomend the AFE Stage 2.. That thing is just huge... If you like how the ferd's whistle when they drive by you will be a member of that club... I just got one this week and weeeeeee!!!

They sound bad a@@!!

Where did you find it for $150-200? The price on BD's website is $329 and the AFE is less than that (from the DTR store).

i have a stage 2 AFE with the progaurd filter and i love it the turbo sounds like a jet engine and i'm sure people think they have a tractor trailor coming up behind them until i blow past them. i ahven't checked to see if i'm pulling any oil out of the filter and into the turbo but i know my friend john had the S&B intake and he had the oil from the filter all down in the trubo and i have heard the same thing happen with the K&N filters
