Question S&B Cold Air Intake Kit

Anybody using a S&B cold air intake on a 2012 ? Are there any noticeable results? Input is really needed ! Already running a Smarty JR.

Don't know about 2012, but I have one on my 2014 with a dry filter and I love the difference in sound it made for the truck. Didn't notice any real difference on the Butt dyno, but I'm sure it can't hurt to get more air in there. For you since you already have a tuner I'd say an air intake is a must to enable you to get the max out of your tuner.

I had the S&B on my truck. There was less smoke on WOT and seemed like more power, but my mileage went down. Since I commute about 70 miles round trip per day, mileage is more important so I went back to stock with an AMSOIL air filter. I have been thinking about putting it back on, but I can't stand oiled filters. If I can find an adapter to use an AMSOIL universal air filter on the S&B, I would consider putting it back on.

Installed the S&B cold air intake. With the S&B, and Smarty JR set at the tow setting (70 hp ) increase, I do have a mpg increase and noticeable power increase. But that is only the butt dyno. The air intake on the stock system was inadequate. Kind of like having a plugged air filter. My truck on 2 trips with a 16 ft flatbed trailer empty averaged 12.2 mpg. Now pulling the same trailer the mpg average has gone to 14.7 mpg hand computed. Can't wait to see what the truck will do empty and on summer fuel. Winter fuel mix always drops mpg. Next item in line is a EGT gauge.
