Put my air intake in this weekend!!
Hey guys me and a buddy of mine put in a intake into my truck this weekend! its completely home made! buy my god does it ever work! the truck has more low end torque and better acceleration! she sounds meaner too!
any opinions on exhaust ?? gotta glasspack on there right sounds good but im lookin for sumthing a little bit louder!?? anyone got any ideas??

Wait till summer time, or take a trip to Florida......
There is a good reason the intake OEM (or K&N) tube isn't metal!!!!
Just another example of how to screw something up......and the funny part, the OEM intake & filter isn't what limits the
amount of air flow into the engine!!!!
So, you basically have a HAI and noise maker!!!!

K&N never made anything for the truck besides a drop in filter, thus why we made this. Granted the stock plastic pipe would do a bit better job at insulating the incoming intake charge, but it also sits flat on top the rad. This aluminum pipe sits higher and gets hit with more air coming through the hood line. You look at the K&N cone filter/adapter kit for the newer style MAF 4.0's, and it just bolts to the stock tube. We couldn't do this, so we made our own pipe. If your that worried about the temp in the summer, this is Manitoba, were lucky if we see 3 months of nice summer and nice temperatures. Last but not least its not that loud, just sounds better which is what the guy wanted.

And the worst part, as I've previously posted, the OEM intake and filter isn't what is limiting the air flow into the engine! As I have said before, you could use a sewer pipe for an intake, and you wouldn't get any more airflow!

The OEM intake DOES NOT sit on top of the radiator! I'm not worried about a thing, my truck isn't screwed up!!! You just need to be aware of the mechanical and physical properties involved when you do something like this!

DangerRanger knows about the rad/shroud deal, something with the parts place ordering the wrong one? I can't remember.

Well, if there are noticeable gains then we obviously did something right. The truck pulls harder and sounds better. If your just gonna sit there and be cranky about it and keep knit picking, then your opinion is not needed.

More noise doesn't equal more power.......Matter of fact, more noise can be due to air turbulence, which will cause your MAF sensor's reading to screw up!
So, if it throws a CEL, chances are good it's due to lean codes......
