My current setup is an Airaid Modular Intake Tube from the Throttle Body to the factory air box, with a K&N drop-in filter. I'm debating whether or not to go with a cone filter set-up. I've got a chance to get a, Airaid QuickFit box with the cone filter for a really good price, but can't decide if it's worth it over the current set-up. Would a cone filter set-up really flow & perform that much more than a K&N Drop-in fliter with the factory air box?

hmmm.... not sure what to do.... any input/opinions?

 

The k&N airflow chart says this
Panel filter 441 CFM
round filter 881 CFM

so your basically doubling the air flow

 

Interesting numbers right there. What is the link to that into?

 

Flow more, maybe....

My experience has been that you lose some low end torque with more flow on these trucks. I started a thread about this last year and most that took part in it agreed. They had noticed the same thing.

I did the cone CAI first, then added a Y pipe and Magnaflow muffler....all increased flow. My high end torque definitely increased, but on the flip, my low end did suffer a little bit. I even added 4.10s and it helped a little. I did a test and put the stock intake setup back on and the low end torque came back noticeably.

Now, I run the stock airbox with a pipe to the TB, much like the Airaid intake.
