BIG E 03-10-2005, 09:38 PM More air in more air out equals more power.

Minn-Kota 03-10-2005, 10:25 PM I just put mine on last night. I've heard that it doesn't do much for HP gains and the EGT's are down a little, but the whistle is worth it IMO. :bling:
briano 03-10-2005, 10:33 PM I just added a MAC intake to mine and I can actually tell it accelerates smoother and shifts smoother...I.E. better throttle response, or turbo response I guess. I installed it right before I filled up so I am hoping to see a mileage improvement, but not banking on it.
the whistle is pretty cool and there is a seat of the pants difference. if the mileage goes up I'll post it

Ya paid 500 canadian and it was well worth it for the turbo alone
Trippin 03-14-2005, 08:15 PM 15-18hp on my truck when I had the Edge, but most don't believe it so I quit posting about it.Oh wait, I just posted about it. :( D*mn it!
fredw 03-14-2005, 08:58 PM gtech gave me a 15hp gain over the 1/4mile, done one hour before it was installed, also noticed the turbo spool quicker(grab rubber on 285) compared to before, and i posted it as well without beleif:cool:

Got Juice? 03-14-2005, 09:41 PM Mine sounds like a Semi..... Crossed with a couple mad teakettles!
Darn thing's gonna cause an accident with all the rubbernecking.
Chad what did you think?
Sound about right?
ratlover 03-15-2005, 09:48 AM I noticed no difference at the track btw a AFE and a stocker with a hot juice witch is why it was really supprised to see my truck down close to 20hp when I swaped to the stocker on the dyno for grins. Actually the numbers didnt supprise me since as soon as the run started i noticed less boost than with the AFE. I also run a couple psi less on the street.
I used to be a d*ckhead but I have changed my tune;) :p: ):h
Stocker for DD and AFE for playing for me.
BlueOx03 03-15-2005, 10:20 AM Trippin's full of it!!! ):h ):h
specialagentPK 03-15-2005, 01:56 PM ya i didnt notice hp but i did notice the torque increase
Duramax Dually 03-15-2005, 02:13 PM It all about the TUBE. Cool intake tube... looks good... I added the AFE, the 4" exhaust and Edge at setting 3 all in the same day. HUGE difference...I got the Whistle, the power and a few more MPG to boot.:grd:
Trippin 03-16-2005, 11:31 PM Trippin's full of it!!! ):h ):h
:exactly:
DSLBeast 04-03-2005, 11:44 AM On the metal intake from AFE does it eliminate the reservoir box or must you still hook it up? I just got my AFE and it came with an ABS tube... According to AFE the metal tube would sometimes flex and move and would have problems with it:confused: Anyhow, the ABS tube still needs the reservoir hooked up. Does it need to stay hooked up or can I just cap that area off?
specialagentPK 04-03-2005, 02:37 PM i have an o1 and it didnt have the resevoir box so i cant help you there
Mark Craig 04-05-2005, 09:34 AM DSLBeast,
You can cap if off if you want. We just got a load of the last of the metal intake tube LB7 AFE Pro Guard 7 intake systems for the LB7's, there will be no more per AFE. For those that want the extra whistle and want a bargain, give us a call. We got a special deal and are passing the savings on to members etc. We are also overstocked on the new LLY Stage II AFE Pro Guard 7 and have a similiar special on them too!

Big_D_Max 04-11-2005, 09:19 PM Good Gosh i am anxious for my ups package,Tracked it today it has landed in Seattle just one more day to make it North and it will be in my greedy little hands:cool2: Now to come up with a plan to get it installed and get the hood locked down b4 the wife comes home:D Anyhow I just had to share my excitment with you all.
hdmax 04-12-2005, 09:20 AM Intakes and exhaust do not always show up on a dyno, because there is not enough air flow while setting still, but going down the road there should be a difference. I know with my truck, there was a huge difference with turbo boost. According to the G-Tech Pro Comp, the Banks monster exhaust and AFE stage II knocked of about 11/100 in the 1/4, and 7/100 in the 0-60 time. This was done while using propane on stock tires, and no other mods.
Road Boss 04-12-2005, 07:49 PM Just got mine today! I will install it tomorrow.:ro)
