so i have been looking at a S&B intake for the truck and have found the best price at 269 shipped on ebay, well tonight i found one for 195 shipped and its for the same year but diffrent shape. so i asked the seller and they wrote back that the more expensive one gets better flow but the cheaper one is a fraction of a point better for trapping more dirst and dust....... so im at a toss up is saving $75 or just spending it.....im leaning more towrds the cheaper one but i need your guys help on picking one


heres the first contestant:

Flows 43.0% better than the OE
99.16% Efficient
More expensive


and the second
Flows 39.2% Better
99.33% Efficient
less expensive




i know you all think im crazy but this place is great for second, third, forth, fifth, sixth, ect. opinions

 

wat can this do that a BHAF with an amsoil filter cant do??? thats always been my question....

 

AEM Bruteforce tube with Amsoil filter and prefilter

nothing that i know of.... i know i have heard bad things about k&n, i have heard nothing bad about S&B and the price range is at about a 3 out of 5 so i narrowed it down to this guy buy price mainly, but also reading in diesel power they gave it the best rating for cleaning the air

 

Well the expensive one looks to be a better made piece. The attachment of the tube to the box looks stronger, and the box has a mounting "ear" to hold it in place (important with the shaking of a diesel motor). However the less expensive one looks to have a larger filter element. Larger filter = less frequent cleanings. IfI was throwing around my coinI would chose the more expensive one. Always easy to spendsomeone elses money!Good luck!

 

I would probably want the one that filtered better, I dont know if you would notice 4.2% difference in flowing, but your engine probably wants to keep all the dirt out that it can. Have you looked at an icebox? They come with the amsoil filter and look pretty cool.

 

i seen the icebox and it does look like a nice unit but its close to double what these systems cost... i know i might be saying ya get what ya paid for down the line but the s&b doesnt look like it would be that bad of a choice for the price.

 

just wait till I'm done with my newest intake. . .it will put the *****'s whistler to shame
