best intake?

[HobbyStock62]

dont really believe that one is better than the other, but what should i buy...under 300 bucks.

Air raid

s&b is way better than air raid and looks much better too. plus its a sealed unit

 

[Powerstrokeracing]

I love air raid cause they fit so good.

I like S&B, I have had fitment issues with them a lot though

 

[pistonbully]

H&S..Fits good and is a sealed unit. Filter removal is very easy.

 

[JrStroker]

Doesn't matter what it is. AFE all the way!

 

[duddy]

Agreed on the AFE, when air is needed it is there. S&B filters very well but only good to a certain power range. And the H&S fit good on my 6.4, but i pulled the filter minder immediately. AFE pro 5r worked the best for me.

No Limit has one also. Not sure if it's done or not yet though.

I would leave it stock.. The stock unit on the 6.0 works well and I think changing it out for an aftermarket unit is a waste of money..

 

[HobbyStock62]

Well I plan on doing 190/100s and a stage 2 or 3 turbo and want as much air as possible. Lots out there all claiming stuff, basically want the stupid bulky stock one out of there.

I agree with atsah! I like the stock filter on the 6.0s. They filter well and flow a lot of air if you do the zoodad mod. I ran the mtw stage 3 on the stock intake for the longest time.

While the stock intake will work, I've swapped just the intake out with an AFE unit (no other changes) and there is a noticeable difference in throttle response and acceleration. Truck had a tuner on it and nothing else.

stock intakes are the best way to go to about 500 or so HP, that being said from what your plans look like, and aftermarket intake will be of some help, AFE and S&B are the two systems we go with 99% of the time. Seeing what your budgest is, S&B might be your best option for the $. For what its worth, S&B is what i was perviously running on my truck...its off the truck now becauase of the compounds

 

[HobbyStock62]

Sounds good, thanks guys!

 

[Koda22]

I got the s&b on my truck and it seems to fit good, and looks good...I am happy with the purchase

 

[sleeps]

anybody like aem? the brute force looks nice. idk, im still rolling around on stock intake but when the 72 goes on im going to need one.

 

[Bubba88]

Not a fan of AEM. I run the S&B on my truck and I know several others who have S&B and they love it. I would also recommend AFE but they're a little more $$. For $269 you can't beat the S&B

 

[Koda22]

That's one big thing, the price of the s&b, it seems to be one of the better ones and has a good price

 

[lifted350]

I am a big fan of the AFE intake I had on my truck. Ran it for about 2 year's till my current turbo set up. Most of my customer's usually go with that or the S&B. But from the sounds of your future plan's I would go with the AFE as I never had a issue with air flow. Few people I know suck the filter minder closed instantly with the S&B's which mean's not enough air flow.

The stock one is such a bitch to change, its worth the money to replace it for that reason alone, to me....
