Default trueflow intakes

Does anyone have the XDI intake from Trueflow? Is it worth the extra money to go with it over their sealed air intake and can anyone beat the lowest price of $335 that I could find.

I have no idea about the XDI but I do like the closed intake system they make. Just threw one on last week. Got a new one for $160 on ebay.

I just put on the Trueflow XDI today. Easy install took about 35 minutes after getting everything together. After installation I took it for a test drive. It is quite at idle and normal acceleration but put your foot in it and it roars like a glass pack muffler. I filled up with gas and reset the over head trip meter to check my mpg. Driving the same route I do after fill up and driving 14 miles, I got 2 miles per gal more than I usually do. Now at the same time the air temperature was a little cooler today. I was driving with the cruise on at 45 mph with no stops along the way. So take all that carefully. I have never seen 21+ mpg on the trip computer before with this 07 4X4. I bought my XDI from RealTruck.com for $316.56.

I put the K&N 77 series on las week. Between it, the Flowmaster Super 40, and the super chip set on performance and filled up with 91 octane. My mpg went up almost exactly 1 mpg. This is by the onboard computer, which reset itself since part of the intake install was to disconnect the battery it had reset itself.
Sorry I can't advise on the XDI, bu thtat's the info I have. I do believe the improvement came from the intake as I had the exhaust before and the superchip on performance(I would think) would negate any gains.

Been in Ohio for a school this week. Got an email that my wheels and tires should be here Tuesday but, once again, going to be in a different school. I am hoping to put the lift and everything on next weekend. Will see how this week goes. And trust me, once done I will post a ton of pics.
