So whats the best air intake??

Just trying to figure out which one to buy. I got a homemade one with a amisoil filter rite now. But its open to engine heat and gets dirty fast.

take the stock box and cut it so your amsoil one fits inside of it and then fab up some metal and make your own cold air kit that sucks air from the bottom of the bumper that is what i will be doing soon enough

^^^ X2 for AFE...

I dont know about them being the best but i like mine. Clean it and go.....

You may want to go with modding your stock box or something from Volant if your looking for a sealed intake...

I've also heard really good things about AFE...however, I went with a Banks and it's like having a whole new turbo. Spools up faster and it sounds like your turbo is riding shotgun with you without being annoying! Easy clean to...

I'm going to take my AFE off and go back to stock the air box and will eventually add a PSM kit at a later date.

Very satisfied with the afe megacannon, ran it for 12k and took it off to clean it and the inside of the tube is new polish black no dust at all took a cleanex to it and nothing to b seen. Although it does suck down my filter minder...beings it's 4.5" from turbo.

www.psmdiesel.com. This site outlines it,but it can be duplicated using Home Depot parts for a fraction of the cost.

Banks has a good one as well sealed off very well from engine heat and you can get a ram air that goes with it.
