and welcome!

 

AFE intake has done wonders for the "get up"

 

dont get an aftermarket intake. jsut get the deckplate mod

 

okay so what is a deckplate mod?

 

look in my original post and also in this link

edit: I just saw that you already have an AFE intake. The deck plate mod is for the stock air box.

 

x3 on the deckplate mod and a AFE Pro Dry S filter, and Also a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler!
steveO gave you a link to the Deck Plate mod.

 

Thanks SteveO. The deckplate mod seems simple enough. Just bought the deckplate at my local marine shop only $12... cant wait for a day off

 

One of my favorite mods.

 

yup best/cheapest mod ever

 

well crap i wish id known about that like 2 weeks ago before i got the intake. sounds like a sweet deal though! Go with what they said Stuart

 

Thanks everyone just did the deckplate mod last week and it was simple and seems to have been effective. Ill update on power and gas mileage soon... sounds great though...

 

I just bought an intake a month ago and I wanna know the difference between an aftermarket intake and the mod. Could u give me some stats? What kind of Taco do you have?

 

I spent a couple hundred bucks on an injen intake and I REALLY like it. Great sound, huge dif in power. I like everything about it. I still have my old intake so if I get bored, I'll do the deckplate mod and test out the differences. Once I do, I'll start a thread and tell everyone which I think is better.

 

"Shower Drain" mod works just as good as the "Deckplate Mod" and is easier to install.
Did it on my Truck and I got almost 3mpg gain and a noticeable horsepower increase--I like it because it works with a grate cover over the hole so you don't have a 4" gap in the front of the air-box constantly sucking in dirt, bugs, leaves, etc.

 

Not a bad idea on the shower drain idea. Did it come with a soap on a rope too ?

Just stick a shop vac in the 4" hole and clean it. I have had this mod for years with no problem. Change/clean the filter often

 

Ok, when you said you just purchased from local marine shop...did you just ask the guy at the counter for a deckplate or how would I go about doing this

 

I just walked in to the marine shop and browsed around for like 2 minutes and found them, all the guys at the counter were busy. but here is a pic of what it looks like....
Its easy to install only took about 30 minutes... Ive been getting about 2 MPG better, better throttle response, and better sound.

cool thanks for the info! I will be heading out to my local marine shop this weekend to purchase and then install my new upgrade.

 

I dunno, seems like you could just get the cheap aftermarket air filter parts (cone filter, metal tubing) from schucks or something for not much more money than the deckplate mod. Then at least you get a better, washable filter.
