I have the 63 series filter FIPK on my truck with the K&N Air intake. I think it is not smog legal in CA. But it does help some with performance. I have cleaned my filter once, and it is really easy to clean and re-oil, saves me a ton of money by not having to buy new filters. When I first got it, I went from an avg 13-14mpg to 16-17mpg. Now that I have my BFG all terrains though i'm back down to 14mpg...

It took me about an hour and a half to install. Most of the time was spent for me was spent taking out the original air intake. I've installed 2 of them, one in my truck, and one in my friend's Ram 1500. They're pretty easy to install.

Jimbo, I agree about the install time. It took longer to take the stock out than put the new one in. But it took me about 2 hours vs. your 1-1/2 hours. It was about 38F outside and the wind was ridiculous. So, it was a case of do a few things and then go inside to warm up. Wife and I orig. from San Diego, so this cold sucks. I haven't noticed the increase in fuel mileage yet, but it could be this winter gas.

I kind of think the better gas mileage isn't gonna happen

I mean with an intake on our motors....it growls....and you wanna hear that....so instead you just keep stomping on the gas and decreasing your fuel mileage....lol

Same here, except I assembled mine in my dorm room, on the floor, cuz it was warmer than the 15 degress it was outside at the time.
