thanks..im more concerned about the tb spacer and the programmer..im totally new to programmers and i dont know about a/f ratios..would it do anything..spacer or not. I know K&N is a pretty good filter...but i dont see why they put that funky little hump in the intake tube

k and n is just a name on the tube...they make a great filter but buying a cheaper intake and getting a k and n it all sounds the same ...hell mine sounds better than a k and n....tb spacers are junk on our trucks .....im not yankin ya chain just trying save you a few buck but hey its your money....

well i know the TB spacer is a better paper weight...but thats the only way the AEM intake would fit...same with that one you linked me...so thats why i was leaning toward the K&N..I had KN drop ins before..they worked ok

Airaid is just as good, None are worth the $300+ for a whopping 8hp.
