    Right now I'm running the HKS SMF 200mm dry filter with my K&N intake, and powerade throttle body spacer (Never been much of a believer in the throttle body spacer, but it was given to me for free so I figured I'd give a try) Not sure of how much of an increase in horsepower if any, but the truck does pull harder than it did with the stock setup, especially up hills.

    Probably ordering an AFE pro dry S sometime soon. At what mileage do you guys dump the original stock filter?

    Doesn't matter at what mileage you change. Some people swap the filter out as soon as they bring it home the first time. :)

    Right, I was just curious what the "time to change" the stock one was. I think it's 15k but I forget.

    Why does everyone like the AFE Pro Dry S verses the Pro 5 R...???

    The only difference I see is that the Pro Dry does not require any type of maintence but the Pro 5 R seems to allow more air flow.

    i keep it simple with the stock one. i had a K&N drop in on my last car and noticed no difference in response/MPG. I might get an AFE dry filter just for convenience reasons though... who knows

    i think people buy it for increased airflow, not increased protection
