Has anyone had any experience with this unit. I had heard that this option

could posssibly give you 3-4 mpg extra.

I would recommend against buying a K&N filter for your truck unless you don't plan to keep it forever. A search on K&N around here will reveal some interesting results. And read this test.



And I can promise you there is no air intake system in the world that will give your truck a 3-4 mpg gain. Ask whoever told you that to see a fuel log.

LCrisp,



rbattelle is right, run from that place as fast as you can! There are MPG gains by allowing more air to flow thru the engine but if all it took was 300. 00 to get that much we couldn't stock them fast enough. You can get 0. 5-1. 5 MPG if you get a good feee flowing air intake system and exhaust system, air in and air out equals MPG gains etc. Check the AFE Pro Guard 7 intake systems and the MBRP performance replacement muffler systems out, that should get you what you're after and protect the engine from dirt getting thru the air filter too!

Stay away from K&N. If you hold it up to a light, you can actually see pinholes of light. If light can get through, so can dirt.



They may be great for a night at the drag strip where you need high flow, but they're not what I would want for everyday reliability.



Go for the AFE PG7 setup. It sounds great and works as advertised. Just make sure to get the pre-filter, too.
