I like mine. It looks much better than the stock tube, and that's mainly why I bought it. It may help some with performance but if it does it's probably not much in this heavy pig of a truck.

I put my MIT back on last month after the issues I had with the K&N CAI system. Not as good throttle response but better than stock and it won't fry my plugs and COPS.

Glad i did a search on this air raid tube before i put up a post about it.
I was searching around to find something that would fit in the oblong air box opening so i could fab up a new intake tube and found this.

Definately much better looking than stock.

heres a link where you can get it for $105 & free shipping.

Glad this thread was helpful. I ran into the same issue when I was trying to find some info on this intake. I searched without really finding much and just stuck to my thoughts and ideas of how the product would work in relation to my needs.

I ordered one as well.
I started to do the gotts mod on mine and had read some posts about others cutting the baffling off and thought about doing that as well.

decided ordering this airaid tube would be a better idea and look much better in the engine bay.

right now im running with the snorkel removed completely and have noticed a little better throttle response.

For those worried about alot of noise with the more open tube or even if baffles are removed, I dont think theres anything to worry about. I took a test drive with the entire intake tube removed from the air box and there was hardlky any noticable noise at all unless you floored it and even that was pretty mild to me.

I've been running mine with a k&n drop-in for about a year and a half. I noticed improved response and slightly deeper engine noise when accelerating but not as bad as a Cai. Only problem I had was the paint started coming off the silver badge.

Has anyone installed this unit in the colder climates, like Wis? If so did you have any problems with powder snow getting into the air filter and blocking air flow? I currently have the K@N CAI like so.http://www.autopartsnetwork.com/cata...150_year:2005_
And when we get the fresh powder snow it packs onto my filter and stops air flow. Don't get me wrong this CAI is awesome when it's 18* outside. But the powder is killing me.

Sorry, but I am in Florida so I am no help to the snowy climate input. It snowed here the day after christmas, but it was melted once it hit the ground and I also didn't have mine installed then.
