Well I just installed my AFE intake. And since no one created any new instructions I went through the same a$$ pain that the rest of you did too. I guess we'll just consider it a right of passage.

Anway the install wasn't too difficult but the sealer strip that went between the filter assembly and the truck opening did throw me for a loop. I had to read this post all over again to figure out what it was used for. While I was driving it around the engine sound wasn't too bad, but I had a whistle which sounded like a turbo boost kicking in, not too bad sounded kinda cool. I'll have to see what it sounds like with the seal strip in. I went and bought some weather stripping to try and make a better seal.

I don't understand how they consider this a sealed system when the airbox has a 2x4" opening on the lower front of the airbox. Seems like hot engine air could would not be kept out and that it would always suck air in that opening vs the fender opening... path of least resistance?...

As far as extra power... don't really know because I installed the AFE and my Corsa exhaust at the same time. I actually don't know how much power it had before because I never got on it before and only had 250miles on the truck when I installed my mods....

Got on it a little today as I wasn't paying attention when the light changed green until the car behind me honked... I got a little exited and got just a little heavy on the pedal only to hear about $5 roll off my back tires.
