http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...QQcmdZViewItemI found this on EBAY. not a bad deal considering 2 oil filters and 1 fuel filter come with it.

If you don't want to gut your intake, check out the AFe torque tubes. I bought mine for $70-80 on Ebay and add in the BHAF, its still $100+ cheaper than the kit you have above.

I just gutted my tube. it didnt take too long probably 15 minutes.

I'll be driving it tomorrow so I'll see if there is a difference.

Hey Drew, how long does that BAHF last compared to a stock filter? It may be worth the extra bucks if you get more use out of it.

sorry. . .I was MIA for a few days. . .two days of golf will take a toll on you

anyhoo, I drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the side of the rubber part and mounted the AIT sensor that way. it works pretty good.

also I have gottennearly 2x the life out of this filter than I did with the stocker. I was haveing to change it out 8-10K I put this bad boy on around 20 something, got 37K on the clock and it still looks better with ~17K than the stocker did with only 8K. was it worth it. . .YOU BET!!!

YEah I have been reading a ton about them and the only time they arent worth it is if you are running 500HP or higher. than it wont pull enough flow. But alot of guys have been going to a Amsoil filter that flowsmore and filters better than the BHAF.

That will be my next filter.

But I bought the WIX BHAF on ebay for $38 plus $30 shipping. It came with 2 oil filters and 1 fuel filter so I thought $70 was well worth it considering the local napa wanted $70 for just the BHAF
