Which is the best intake guys. Lets hear some personal experience. Dyno sheets, specs, ect. Which enhances the turbo the most also?

I have the S&B and I'm happy with it. I don't have any dyno or track results though. When the mounting studs on my OEM box broke off I decides to go with the S&B which was considerably less expensive than the OEM. I fits good, looks good and so far no problems. It did make the turbo a little louder too.

There is a poll here between S&B and Banks Ram Air with some links to dyno results.

I would say stock unless you are running upwards of 600hp you don't so much need to worry about the intake.

Stock with the TxC mod, unless you want the 'bling thing'.

4in tube or bigger, and lots of flow. I like to hear the turbo but thats not as important as airflow to me. btw currently I run a stock swiss cheese box. Planning to add the TXchris to the 2005 as the fan runs alot during the summer towing and drags the truck down and I also want something like a S&B or AFE for my 2001 I plan on taking this truck to 500+ hp. Just looking for suggestions.

I have a AFE intake with blue filter and haven't had any problems with it yet!

Bang 4 the Buck... S&B all the way! Love it, cheap, looks good, flows great, sounds good, and soposta be one of the best filters around.

Pics of mine on LB7 in garage.

I have the Banks Ram Air intake and filter.........works well with my exhaust, which I had already done.......my truck's EGT seems to cool down faster than the factory setup and no codes thrown with the Banks setup
