: is this junk or not?

Is the Mac air intake system worth putting on my LLY? It is open to the engine on top, it has a chrome looking intake pipe and a K&n style filter. Will it run cooler or hotter with the intake. Will it help or hinder mileage/performance? The website says dyno tested at 18 hp and 25ft/lbs tqhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/F1E_pip.jpg


Thanks, I need the help.

Junk? I would say no.


Forget the dyno stuff ,no way. As far as mileage and performance it is nill at best. As far as faster spool up,I can't say isn't that what the VVT is all about on the LLY?

My AFE is similiar once the hood is closed it will draw more from the front. Most certainly you want less heated engine compartment draw.
