ok guys,

Should I get at bed cover or Intake?

-Erik

 

you plan on doing exhaust anytime soon? What kind of cover are you looking at?

 

I already have an exhaust. single in dual out flowmaster super 40s. I would just get the regular soft cover

 

You can get both for under $500. I wouldnt get a full CAI kit -- they cost too much and you'll never make the money back in savings. There are a couple DIY's in the 3rd Gen FAQ that will give you the same gains for less than 1/3 of the cost using some PVC pipe and a drop-in K&N filter.

If I were to choose between the two though, I'd go with the cover for a couple reasons. Not only will you get a little better mileage (up to 10% better), but it adds security as well. The stuff in your bed will thank you -- out of sight out of mind. The third reason is, although the CAI will free up a couple horsepower and get about the same mpg gains, your hood is usually closed and its not a "visible" mod. The cover will look good as well as be functional.

For WELL under $100 though, you may as well do the DIY CAI at the same time as the cover.

 

Bed cover, intake will do nothing but give you a louder moan under acceleration. No real world HP gains.

 

i would get cover, i am looking also, truck is looking good

 

i agree with with AF, make yourself an intake, and get a tonneau.
I have an acccess lorado and love it... moes has (had) the best deals on them

 

alright it looks like i will be getting the bed cover. I will make my own Intake. I just moved into my dorm room so im not sure when I will be getting it.

 

you could get a roll up tonneau for $200

 

get a roll up tonneau cover..winter is around the corner, I would take care of the intake later
