ATS High arc flow intake Manifold
I was wondering if any of you guys are running one and if you like it or not. My birthday is in a couple of days and i am trying to decide what i should get for the truck. Any input would be great, thanks

My wife bought me mine for x-mas. It ranks real high on my "looks cool meter" when I pop the hood up. It's the powder coated black version and it matches the black factory valve cover on my '02. I didn't get any performance gain and I didn't expect any either.
Regards, Mike.

Yeah, it would look cool for sure, i was looking at their website and they said that gained like 10hp and 15ftlbs of torque on and 05 by just switching the stock one to the high flow one

CTD2001, On the ATS web site it shows the Arc flow with the raised letters & graphics polished, but mine came all powder coated black. I took my gasket buffer and polished them off. I felt it looked better with the raised letters & graphics polished aluminum and the rest of the air horn black. My $.02. Mike.

Don't waste your money on that. It's the same thing as the banks hi ram intake or whatever it's called. It's more for looks than anything. IIRC, somebody dynoed with a banks one and actually LOST power after installing it. The ATS is nice though since it's pre drilled for boost and water injection but that's very easy to do with your stock one as well.

I agree with BB.....for 2nd gens, there really won't be a gain to be had......3rd gens are a different story.....they have a very restrictive intake horn and most certainly benefit from an air horn swap when running at higher fueling levels than stock.
