Love the maggie, anxiously awaiting some long term feedback on that Banks, the rest is a style issue, and it differs from my sense of style quite strongly. HOWEVER, the Chrome does look nice on white. I think it would look awfully ghetto on a blue, or beige truck though...

Ok, it's been almost a week with the Banks intake kit installed.

Personally, I might go back to the stock intake. Why, you may ask?

I get a loud droning vibration in the cab when I am accelerating and it changes gears, especially when you are gently accelerating and go from one gear to the next. It sounds a little much for my taste, but I will look under the hood today to make sure everything is tight and no loose nuts and bolts. With the stock intake and the magnaflow, it sounded pretty good the way it was. Not sure if the intake from Banks was a great idea. It's not like it is a major jump in improved gas mileage or horsepower anyways.

Mind you, yesterday I changed the settings in my Superchips 1815 to the performance module instead of the 87 Octane setting I used up to that point. I didn't feel much of that vibration and droning noise, so we'll see what happens today when I get a chance to drive it a bit more.

I like the Banks intake but its way to pricey.

Aftermarket thank's for the feed back so far on the Banks. Thinking so far might stay away from it.
