    I'm getting ready to place an order for this. Based on looking around the internet this is by far the best price.
    Question for those who already have it:
    Is it a definite on eliminating engine drone on the highway? I'm looking for quieter, not louder unless I'm into the pedal. That drone can be really annoying .

    I'm pretty sure I will like it. I watched some videos of intake sound and think it's an improvement. I will be disappointed though if after i start it up at idle it doesn't sound like "bro bro bro bro bro bro".

    I am working to find some spare change to have a baseline, intake, and exhaust dyno readings taken. Hopefully the IRS can return some of my truck mod budget and I can get some @ the wheels numbers. Not expecting huge gains but I will take everything I can get swinging 10 ply tires around

    Got it installed today! Install was a snap. It's been raining all day so haven't got to really push the truck. But from my trip to pick up some food I notice basically exactly what bobrown14 said in his review except I haven't tested wot yet. Overall pretty pleased with it. No it didn't turn my truck into a drag racing machine but it definitely improved the overall feel of driving. No idea if it added horsepower and I doubt if I would be able to tell 5hp difference if it did. Fit and finish was great as expected. I also can't comment on whether it helps with any issues people have been having with their trucks as mine has performed great. The cost to performance gain probably isn't there for most people but I enjoy the results and look forward to future mods like the trd exhaust. Wish I had more to say but it's hard to describe unless you drive the exact truck then 45 min later drive it with the trd cai. It's just different in a good way.

    Over time... I've come to the realization that it's quieted down my Magnaflow exhaust some and smoothed out hard excel to a smoother takeoff and transition into the VVTi changeover @ 3.5K rpms.
