Cold air intake?

07 mega 4x4 with 5.9 (don't laugh but running a bully dog programmer) 35" tire &straight pipe exhaust except had to install a resonator to lower loud pipe sound as it is my business truck & I am in residential neighborhoods most of the time. Thinking about a cold air intake to help with fuel milage, any suggestions?

I like my S&B but don't buy one thinking you will get better mileage because that will not happen.

kkb is correct, the stock is very hard to beat. get a psm kit for the stock box and get the new 4" deep pleat filter wix 49946 or napa 9946

An aftermarket CAI costs anywhere from $200-300. If you're really lucky, you might gain 1mpg. Maybe. Do the math, and see how long it takes to make that back in fuel savings.

Agree with the others, do the psm home depot mod to the stock intake and be done with it for $15.
