Who has one?
How much HP gains did you get?

Did it increase your MPG?

Is it worth the money?

I believe this topic has been gone over a couple times. It is said that our intake box is fairly beefy and having such a intake system would be just consmetic. Better off saving 180 and just buying a drop in. It would work just as well.

Immediately after i did that i noticed a difference in throttle response, and it doesnt have the "hesitation" when you lay on the gas right away as it used to

I got a JWT Pop Charger and I love it. Sounds great and the truck def feels peppier. Was alot cheaper than the K&N too, like half the price.

Then I just took out my resonator from the stock box and ran some ducting from the front vent by the fog light straight up to the engine bay and right by the filter...a ram air effect of sorts lol....here is a thread showing what I did

I don't have a K&N... but I will consider pulling that white-plastic stuff out.
It is removeable, right? or is cutting those tubes the way to go?
