like the title says, what is the difference does the magnum have a bigger filter or what? lookin for the biggest one that will fit without removing batteries or cutting ect.......

 

OK, new ? I HAVE done some searching but depending on what site you look at you get different info. which system would be better for my truck--the afe stage 2 cx,xp, or mega cannon?

 

come on! someone has to know. I would like to order one today but want to make sure I get the right one.

 

This is not rocket science, people ask about which is which and what means what.....all the time.

Just go to their website and READ:

Stage 1; Uses stock intake tube
Stage 1; 3 Sided Heat Shield

Stage 2; Uses aFe Torque Tube
Stage 2; Full enclosed heat shield

Stage 1 has CX and EZ
The EZ just replaces the stock filter housing, with a better 3 sides shield
The CX just replaces the stock filter housing with an open style shielf

Stage 2 Cold Air Intake System Type Cx with Pro Dry S
-This a Stage 2 Kit with an oil free filter

Stage 1 Cold Air Intake System Type EZ with Pro-Dry S
-This is a Stage 1 kit with an oil free filter

Unless noted, all Stage 1 kits come with an oiled filter. Some Stage 1 kits have the Pro Dty filter, but this kit still uses the stock intake kit.

Some Stage 2 kits come with either an oiled filter or an oil-free filter.

"aFe uses different oil colors to distinguish our different lines of filter products. Gold oil is used on our high performance OE replacement filters together with red urethane. Blue oil is used on our cold air intake systems together with black urethane. We offer red oil as another option because people want this additional choice. Other than the color, there is no difference in the oil."

It just basically boils down to two choices:
1) Do you want a Stage 1 or Stage 2 kit?
20 Do you want a oiled or oil-free filter?

I would just get a Stage II kit with a PRO GUARD and be done!

 

don't need a smart --I've read all that info. Still doesn't explain difference between cx and xp. They are both stage 2 and can get any of the 3 filter choices. It looks like one box is more enclosed than the other but are the filters the same SIZE-one filter looks inverted and the other is flush. I just want to get the one with the most air flow.

 

The mega cannon is the biggest filter.

 

and they're stronger and filter better from what I've seen out of the mega cannon.

 

Thank you, I'll see what I can get a mega cannon for.
