KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING
Maybe this has been brought up before, I re-read the beginning of this thread and didn't see it mentioned.
OK I guess I'm going to order one of these. BUT buyer beware! The H&S kit deletes the air intake valve and requires the use of an aftermarket tuner to compensate for that. Apparently the AFE kit uses the OEM connectors and maintains the valve.
I've searched around and found a couple of other brands but except for the AFE they all seem to delete that valve. So read the fine print before buying.
No, that's not the H&S kit we are talking about in this thread. The H&S kit that that is being referred to here is a direct OE replacement that doesn't delete the throttle body and requires no tuning. There is a version that deletes the throttle body and requires tuning but I don't know anyone running one or see the advantage.
Here's a link to the H&S page with all their different CAC kits. You will find the stock replacement style in two styles for 11-16 and one for 17+ trucks. None require tuning.
