I like it, definate gain in power on the top but I couldn't really tell on the torque since I had everything else on prior to the banks, faster spool on the turbo overall truck performance was better and fuel mileage def. increase
how much of an increase in mileage would you estimate? How long was the install? I'm guessing 15~20 min max on the ATS intake.

wow, 1~2? I might have to bite the bullet and stay up late for the install tonight. Just wish I had more time to check it out. I guess I could always toss in the stock manifold if there were any issues with mileage...

I was getting about a steady 15mpg in the beggining once I put on intake, exhaust went to 16mpg and then high ram it increased to a consistent 17, all of these were while running Drew's brew also. Last week I switched over to synthetic oils and my last 3 tanks have been 18.5mpg calculated by hand and that is without Drew's brew, once I put the brew back in I'm hoping for close to 20. If you put it on you wont be disappointed if nothing else the truck will be faster and that is always a plus.
how many miles on your truck? could this be a normal breakin gain? I was around 17.5~18 on average up until I put the 33's on, then it dropped to 15's. I lost approx 2~2.5 mpg and have been slowly getting it back thru synth lubricants, tonneau cover etc... if this piece could get me another 1.0 mpg, i'd be real happy.

Well, picked up my Arc flo last night, nice looking intake. Started looking at putting it on but realized I dont have enough free time to do the install (heading out this afternoon for Vancouver BC...)

I want to... damn I'm so tired right now, I barely got the camping gear out, still have to pack my own stuff and still have at least 3 MUST "to do" items that have to get done before we can hit the road.... good thing there are 3 drivers :-) maybe I can get some rest on the way
