    Cant imagine it will do much of anything, there was a dyno test on here where they removed the filter and there was no gain.

    This basically is just adding more foreline to the stock intake vacuum system. Without going into too much detail, at best is will have no appreciable gain on air movement, at worst it will actually result in a lower intake velocity and result in less air movement. No way to know without measuring devices, but I'm confident in believing it has essentially no affect.

    no because he most likely using the oem filter add that hole/hose will do nothing

    I think the most gain, if any, would be seen in smoothing out the airflow after the filter where there is more bends to flow around. Doubling the amount of available inlet air to the filter box probably wouldn’t do much, but maybe a slight decrease in intake air temp here? I wouldn’t hack up a stock air box to try this on my truck.

    Anyone looking for a used AFE intake with scoop? Lol
