However, I consider myself spanked.

(I never thought truck owners could be such sticklers about filters, and if they are waterproof or water resistant or sponges. You'd think we were driving trucks with the hood up in a downpour) I bet someone is going to speak about how much H2O gets drawn up into the engine area next...

yeah like others mentioned....more airflow does not help much unless you are also increasing fuel to engine and likewise reducing backpressure on exhaust.....so initially you will have lots of air and more turbo whine but that is about it.....or so I understand.
I was recommended to get a set of gauges first...before I did any engine mods so I could get used to NORMAL readings.... Those should be in next month. Then a little at a time....

one very important thing everyone forgets until it is too late......you need to get some fuel line about 8 inches long. cut it down the middle and put it over the A/C line up near the firewall. if you do not protect your a/c line with a hose the filter will eventually rub its way thru the line causing a leak in your a/c system......

Yes, they're worth it, if even for peace of mind.
