Best cold air intake
Have decided to go with either a 41" or 51" Donaldson muffler. I was just wondering what the best intake would be for my '06.
Also, will the onboard computer make adjustments for these kind of changes, or do you have to go with a tuner to get any power/mileage improvements with mufflers and intakes?
Thanks

AEM Brute Force all the way !!! Just got my first oil sample done and had a Silicon reading of 2 which is FANTASTIC !!! I was worried that the oiled filter was letting crud in but the proof is in da pudding .

Search this forum for the Swiss Cheese method.
This is free, and coupled w/ something like a tru-flow drop in, you may get the results you desire. The great thing about it, is that it's free w/ the exception of the "drop-in"...

I like Scotty's products. I used to be an AFE style fan...till I got over the bling and cared more about how often I had to clean the filter. Scotty/Uni is the way to go.

I have had my S&B intake installed for about 3 weeks now and really like it. I did not want a open element setup because of turbo noise pulling the 5th wheel. I like the clear top so I can tell at a glance how dirty the filter is.

06Bighorn,
The AFE Stage I or II is the best for flow and for stopping dirt especially if you get the Pro Guard 7 filter elements. AFE did a dyno day last year and they had a number of guys that had the BHAF type of filter set ups, in fact they had one guy that was fairly outspoken on how his filter set up would out flow the Stage I AFE. They dynoed his truck and then installed a Stage I, got a few more HP. Then they took his intake and put it on a flow bench, then even took his filter off of his tube and flowed it with no filter. Then the Stage I was flowed and it even outflowed his tube and NO filter. This is due to the engineering that is built into the AFE conical filters, they all have a velocity stack in the interior of the opening of the conical filters and it speeds the air flow just like a venturi in a carb does resulting in positive pressure that crates more flow etc. When you get a product that has been "engineered" unlike a lot of the products out there you can get some great benefits in performance.

I have the Scotty III, I like it but I put together my own system based on the S&B unit. I use the TAG (turbo air guide) a AEM/Fram dryflow filter instead of the S&B oiled filter and then added to the bottom of the box the PSM/Buick cold air intake system. This is the best set up so far. I also have the S&B, BHAF, AEM dryflow, Tag, The new fram system (Won online) and the Scotty III.

wow, touchy around here about posting information. I just ordered a ram air hood from ramairhood.com and it came out to around $1000 with paint job and new grill. It is the SRT-10 hood. they didnt have the airbox so I will have to get one from the local shop. I am pumped. This is all free too cause of hail damage.
