    Thought I would share this Cold Air Intake "package" that AFE put together in case anyone is considering or on the fence - website shows $730 but if you call Tyler (AFE Guy) @ tel: 951.493.7145 he will do it for $695, no tax, and free shipping. If you buy everything, separate that it comes with it would cost $867. I ordered on Friday, and they are "still" waiting on the air scoops as it's part of the package - but will ship within 10-15 business days so not so bad. :) You end up with two filters, sock, air scoop, the cold air intake itself, throttle body spacer, and the cleaning kit. (scroll down on the page the link takes you to and breaks it all out)

    thanks all that have already installed and shared - I will need all the help I can get to install mine :drevil:

    Install isn't that bad, I did mine in about an hour and it was my first time doing any kind of "mechanical" type work on my truck. Here's a video that shows how to do the install: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0KBDPTb1nw
    You might be waiting a while since that air scoop has been in R&D for a while they've pushed back the ship date on it several times, I had ordered one a couple days ago and ended up cancelling it.

    Don't waste your time with the TB spacer either, totally useless.

    Anybody interested in a K&N? I got mine in a few days ago and installed it yesterday hoping it would help me out a tad with towing. It's just a little too loud for my taste to be honest. I haven't removed it yet but will be doing that this evening or Sat morning. Just getting a feeler at the moment. I would prefer local pick up from eastern NC around Jacksonville/Richlands area. I paid $200 + 2 day shipping so looking around $200. Less than 100 miles on it.

    Once removed it'll go into the buy - sell thread and CL

    I just got shipment notice for my aFe scoop. It should arrive my location in Florida next Wednesday. I'll post some pics if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

    Still waiting on mine. Not expecting much! Been driving without the cover on. Guess I am going to need to regear to get use of sixth gear on the hywy over 67mph with my lift!

    Installed a K&N kit today. Little louder to 3k rpm's but much louder above. The truck definitely has a better response and a nice growl when punched. I think I'm gonna like it.

    Thinking of buying the K&N just looking for a bit of better throttle response. I have a 6spd manual

    i'm going to return my AFE intake because I didn't like it. not sure if this is just mine but it was extremely loud. it had a drone to it where it would resonator inside my truck and really bug me.

    I just talked to the guy at AFE yesterday to see where my scoop was at. Won't be here till end of the week. He asked me how I like the intake so far and if I thought it was too loud. I told him I didn't notice much difference but I have the MagnaFlow exhaust on the truck too. It is louder without the plug not in place but only if I kick it down. I think it sounds just fine just driving along normally. If you don't want any more noise than stock, don't do a cai!:boink:

    Agreed. It's definitely louder but after a few weeks I barely notice it. Just have to make sure the plug is sealed in well

    Why are you guys spending $1000 on a 22" tube and some molded plastic? Please make better decisions. Yikes. My MR2 intake was $50 and it actually added power.

    Not quite $1000 lol. It's new to the market. It'll come down like everything else. The K&N is much cheaper but I don't think it's made as well.

    Not a $1000! When said and done, less than $450 with the dynamic scoop. Still a lot agreed, but I am pretty sure afe is good stuff and it did include the filter! I guess everyone isn't as bright as you! We will all try harder in the future! Please keep on enlightening all of us!:frusty:

    Yep, after discounts right about 300 bucks but I ordered to scoop too, so a little more but nowhere near a thousand.

    I was looking into it last night, promo code got me at $340 shipped from autoanything. Have you guys found it cheaper?

    Nope, I paid 363 a couple weeks ago but got a $50 rebate from manufacturer so brought it down to just over 300.
