Cold Air Intake

Some people report lower EGTs from a better intake. While this isn't more horsepower, lower EGTs keeps things cooler and helps with the fan clutch coming on less on mountain passes.

I haven't tried it yet, just repeating what I've read.

Vehicles made in the last 5 or 8 years typically don't benefit much in the way of a cold air intake. If you are wanting for power, and don't care about a warranty, tuning is the better way to go. Intake and exhaust restrictions aren't nearly an issue as it were for cars made before the mid 2000's.

Really, exhaust and intake in most modern vehicles benefit in the single digit horsepower range, maybe very low double digit. Most people do it to have a different engine noise.

This is a good answer. I have used both cold air and exhaust on previous trucks and have lost MPgs with cheap aftermarket exhaust. The only aftermarket filter I use is a drop in K&N. Tuning is the best bang for the buck, but do not run a tune past what the engine is capable of doing. Search out the ones that work well with your truck and are reliable.

WHY?

Seriously....WHY?

What do you think it will accomplish, what are you wanting to accomplish.....WHY?

Spend your money on something else. The factory intake does an excellent job.

After markets are mostly hype.
