S and B or AFE

I just sold my truck saturday and I am going to get an 06 6speed and I was wanting to know what everybody thought about the s and b air intakes? I had an afe on my old truck and liked it but I saw in diesel power that s and b is having a deal on there intakes and intake horns both for 500 bucks. So I just thought I would ask if any body is useing an s and b to see how they work and how people like them.

I have had one on my 03 for two years and like it, but dont have anything to compare to really. If I had to do it over again I would just order the biggest filter I could find and put it on the end of my factory intake tube. I read somewhere that somebody did a test and these 3rd gen trucks had made more power with an open filter as apposed to the hole air box setup.

I don't have one, but have been in trucks that have them . . . and to my ears they are much quieter than the AFE.

Louder than stock, I can't say about the gutted tube or ring, I never messed with mine prior to the intake swap.

i have the afe mega cannon on my truck now and just took off my s&b 15k ago because i thought it would be louder. I didnt notice any differance at all except that my checking account was less 450 bucks. I should have put that money towards a a3000.....i wouldnt spend the money on an afe again....oh yeah and i ran the s&b for around 90k miles
