Yeah LROD, its a panel filter in the stock intake "BOX"...got it from my buddies at Panhandle Performance...I kinda wish that I woulda done a kit from PSP though...not that it'll make a TON more HP, but it looks cool...But on the other hand it still has a "STOCK" appearance with the box still in place!!!

thanks for the reply chikin1 i am running a K&N panel also with a 2.5 inch shop vac hose feeding the bottom end of box with a shop vac scoop under the front spoiler all held in place with some plastic tie strips = the mini ram only cost me $20.00 via my local harware store provided you alresdt have a 2.5 inch holesaw?, instead of $175.00 at a mod shop,some things can be done cheaper and just as good,although i am sure the tuners mods are better looking and a bit more functional than homemade ones?

Please do yourself a favor and use one, or more(as I do) of the Lightning-specific tuners. Some guys(a very few?) have tried chips, filters, etc. from some of the 'generic' retailers. When/if you have a problem or a question, who are you going to talk too? Who knows all about our trucks---certainly not the people who make products for all kinds of trucks, but the guys that develop, test, and race with their own L parts and mods.

You will be happier in the long run and, who knows, you might even end up saving money too.

Dan
