I was thinking about getting a cold air intake for my 01. right now all i have is the stock air box with a k&n filter in it. i was wondering what the gains would be from an aftermarket and what one you guys thought would be the best. thanks!

 

lower egt's, faster cool down times. if you go big AND have an open exhaust (other than stock) you may see a dip in low end torque and a bump in upper end hp. (based on my endless messing around with my truck ) it will make it rev easier also.

 

i already have the 5inch duels out the back to help cool which everyone say i am goin to need help with since im adding the adrenaline.what brand is supposed to be the best and give the best gains?

 

anyone else know have any experiance with aftermarket intakes that they liked?

 

I am building my own.. pretty simple if you think about our intake design, take from the turbo inlet elbow and get some pipe and a filter.. check out this forum for *****'s whistler

 

i have an intake from bd power. i love it. but i dont see how it is much diffrent from most other cold air intakes

 

read this first
before buying:

this is one of the few honest tests
where fresh & new paper filters
are compared to a new out of the box CAI.

if you have read magazine articles
claiming that some air intake improved horsepower
you should know that the 'trick' to this scam
is that the factory paper air filter was restricted
'on purpose' before the dyno test
usually by running the vehicle on dirt roads behind other vehicles
until an OBD-II scanner read of the MAP sensor
showed that a large horsepower gain would be found
when the clogged paper filter was replaced
by a fresh out of the box CAI.

Don't be a sucker.

 

^^ good call
