    I'm running the AFE Pro Dry Stage 2 and Doug Thorley Long Tubes.. I personally love the sound I get from it. :burnrubber:

    Is it worth it in the dollars/horsepower gain... No..

    The AFE was on sale through Amazon.. I paid like $280 and the headers we like $500 if I remember correctly.

    I only paid $130 for it, but I'm running a K&N CAI. Love the look, performance and sound, but I hate having to clean and re-oil it after following behind someone in a real dusty meet. Kind of wish I went with the AFE dry filter so I could just hose it off and throw it back in.

    $130 for the whole stage 2 kit? That's a deal!!

    Pro Dry filter is great.. 2 or 3 times a year it gets cleaned.
    I use a air compressor then wash it in the sink. Air dry and it's right back on. Even have a couple cold ones while it drys.

    Might be a dumb question since I hadn't really looked them up but can you use an AFE dry filter on the K&N cai setup? I can see myself getting the K&N and NEVER clean or oiling the filter, lol. But for $130, you can't beat that! Especially for a cold air! I have the itch to add lower end things to the truck. That's why I bought the tail lights and maybe thinking CAI but I really want spindles and a 3" expo leaf pack so I can get rid of the AAL and then start working towards a bumper.

    Lateralus - What kind of bumper are you running? Looks like the Brute Force hybrid and thats the bumper I want. Need a rear one too eventually since I was the victim of a hit and run.

    Maybe if I beg and plead with the wife I can get a bumper for my birthday (which is friday). I'll be 30 and I want something memorable, lol.

    No idea on the AFE/K&N thing.. The opening on the AFE filter is huge! I want to say over 5".. Never really measured it though.

    Yes, that's a BF bumper. I freaking LOVE it! Billy is a great guy to deal with. About 3 weeks ago I placed an order for his High Clearance with swing out rear. Got about another 9 weeks to go before that shows up.:eek:

    Yeah, I heard he was a great guy to deal with and I love his work. I also had heard that his turn around time can be quite a while but his work is well worth the wait to me. Can't wait to see it the swing out.

    I've seen people mount an aem dry filter to the k&n intake using an adapter. I too want to look into that.

    And happy early bday! Because I'll forget.. Haha..

    It was a deal! Ha however I didn't mention I bought the kit lightly used but in great condition with only 5k miles on it. The guy bought it for his wife's Tacoma and she ended up trading it in for a Scion so my gain!

    I'd consider throwing an AFE dry filter on my K&N intake if it was interchangeable just to avoid the oiling process. Mitch, I like that adapter idea. We should look into that, you know how it is. If not I might resort to your 'taping off the fender hole' idea.
