I thought I saw a K&N was out, but I could be wrong.

The reason it is hard to find (or my not exist yet) is due to it being a new truck. They have not had time to design one.

There is a K&N filter for it (stock filter replacement for the factory airbox). Maybe you meant an intake kit? If so, I think they just have not had time to develop one yet. K&N seems to take forever on some things. I have seen it be 2-3 years after a model is introduced before they get all of the products out for it.

There are 10+ drop in filters on ebay and you can get them at Autozone for about $50.

The reason why its taking so long is because they were having a real hard time making hp with an intake kit. I guess there's some intakes out there that were rushed out and didnt make power like they claimed. So after countless hours of R&D work (and me bugging my cousin everyday that works there lol!) they've finally made some good power now. And now that the testing is finally over the intake should be out in a month. Hope this helps.

Probably because the original airbox is huge and gets enough air to the motor? It's funny to look at those cai's they all get their air from the same place. When you have 390 HP is is worth 400 bucks to get another maybe 10 HP or maybe lose like some do.
Spend a few grand and get a Supercharger or Turbo or something that will give you something.

I think headers and a real duel exhaust in my opinion would give you more than changing out the complete airbox, just throw in the high flow filter(K/N) and then be sure to get a programmer and tell your truck about your new toys. I think just removing the neg bat cable doesn't really work completely...just from a nice talk with an engineer that I used to work with at the Bvan plant.

I am not sure how much HP an intake adds, but the sound is AWESOME under a load.

Default Airaid installed


See Airaid installed, and it howls like a wolf @ WOT .
I don't think I am losing any HP and Torque across the band, and the throttle response is quicker than with the OEM
