    It will make it a little louder, thats all. FWIW, When I removed mine to test it, I noticed the plastic Pipe cap I used to cover the hole would work itself loose over time. If it falls out, it will allow unfiltered air into the engine.

    this may have been triggered by the silicone you used

    the check engine light went away after 1 day of driving. I used the exact silicone mentioned...RTV, sensor safe. The light has not come on since. I guess it just needed to dry out a bit more.

    I took my box out and let it dry overnight and about half of the next day. I haven't had any issues with a CEL since I've done it, just better sound and gas mileage

    Is there any difference in the noise level the truck makes? I'm reading a lot of talk about the sound of the truck. Not sure how this mod impacts that.
