I was doing the hood and tried this first because of the P&P heads, Fastman 52mm, and custom intake but I didn't need it. This takes in as much as I need. I did loose the front cone though that helped compress the air.

Like i said I'm going to find another spash guard and re-install it a lot beter.

I like the OEM look and always have.

 

it feels a lot better man, quicker responds and you can tell how fast it picks up speed while already driving . i gotta say im in love. what i did noticed is when i turn off my radio you can hear it sucking up all the air , it makes like a whistle sound but not too much that it gets annoying.

ha let me put it this way now he wants to drive it instead of his car haha

but yea man next thing im gonna get is probably gonna be my exhaust or body lift , dont know yet. but thx alot guys for all the help and i'll try to put up the pics as soon as i can

 

Nice to see you like it!

 

Does it have to a K&N filter, I just put in a Fram Platinum filter which is also oiled.

Hey Hydra, glad I kept reading this post as I was gonna go the route mean green did, but I also have a 5.9 so I will try turning the stock intake 180 instead. I'll post back on my results.

 

yea man i have a k&n filter which is working awesome couldn't have done with everyone who helped here on these forums because if it wasn't for them i wouldn've dropped like 300 bucks for the same **** haha

 

Yea,

Those CIA kits are just to grab cash out of ya. Now don't get me wrong, if you pipe in cold air with a nice smooth intake system it's going to help and not to mention looks but you need the purpose and functionality of the true CIA in the first place.


I though the only filter Fram made was an Airhog that was oiled?

 

I had a homemade cone something like this I found:

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm in Canada...It was the first time I've seen the "Platinum" filter here's a link on the specs.

I've heared of those but can they be washed and re-oiled?

This is one of the benifits of K&N not to mention it's positively charged.

 

It think I will be switching to the K&N for the washability... with this set-up more dust and dirt is finding it's way to the filter... I like to off-road a little so dust is an issue!

I did notice a difference in power, mostly at higher speeds. I'll be watching my mileage for improvement. Currently with a mix or city/highway driving I've got 130 miles on 1/4 tank... wish mine was equipped with the digital console to tell me mileage!
