I have the AFE Stage 1 with the prefilter. I like it, but I think the S&B is nice. WOuldn't mind trying it. I also like the Scotty.

I have one in my truck and it made a noticeable difference in feel and sound. My truck had a K&N drop-in when I bought it. The first thing I did was replace it with the S&B. I knew I was going to make some mods to the truck and figured a little additional clean air would be a good choice.

The elbow from filter to turbo is a hard plastic piece instead of the accordian type I have seen previously. It would seem to me that a slight increase in velocity and flow would result from that configuration. Read about S&B's testing of their filter systems, you may be convinced as I was that it is a fine product. Besides, the clear plexi top on the new airbox has a cool factor that is hard to beat.

Injectors will probably next and I will stay on the low, conservative side as I tow 12-14k from time to time. It will also preserve other things like: tires, fuel economy, clutches, etc, etc. I know myself. If I have lots of power on tap, I will use it, just like my bikes.

I have an S&B intake and like it. When I first put it on my EGT's were the same as with the BHAF. That was to be expected I suppose since it only pulls air from the stock location. I went ahead and drilled a 4" cowl hole (ala Scotty) and EGT's went down about 200 degrees. I did not use the supplied hard pipe from the filter to turbo since I run a TAG. The filter itself does an awsome job. No dirt, no dust even after running 70 miles from the Utah border to Chinle Az in a dust storm that turned day into night.
