i have a k&n filter on my stock hosing...wondering if a true full aftermarket cold air intake system would be better or just a bhaf......any advice would be appericated

Im sure a good aftermarket system with a sealed box would be better because a bhaf sucks alot of hot air. Look at this mod too http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/general-diesel-discussion/127696-modify-stock-airbox.html

i did a bhaf and noticed NOTING over the k&N drop in with a chopped up stock box.

I would think aftermarket piping would help a bit but the BHAF will move alot of air.

You might have not noticed anything. But I can assure you, the engine is breathing a lot cleaner than the burlap sack of a filter a K&N is.

The aftermarket systems are nice. I have a aFe stage 1 on my 95'. I'd take one of them over a BHAF but its certianly a nice first step. Only $50 too, can't beat that.

BHAF all the way. :thumbsup:

 

[DavidRasch17]

so is a bhaf better then like a bruteforce or afe?

A CAI is supposed to be better because the pipe is smooth on the inside but for the money a BHAF is really nice. You could get a afe filter and stick on the end of your factory tube, I used a S&B filter on mine. i would make a heat shield too.

The CAI is a joke for what most of them cost. The factory tube is smooth inside. Get what ever filter you like that will fit up to the factory tube, then build a heat sheild and have some pride about what you build and that you saved $250

the air is being cooled down anyways when it goes through the intercooler so it really jus comes down to how much air you can move and a BHAF is gonna flow more air than any other aftermarket so called "cold air intake"

BHAF is the way to go. I get more compliments and astonished looks when the hood goes up (ignore the rest of the motor, it's dirty right now)

I'd have to agree with ShilohSho... anybody can buy stuff and hang it on their trucks - DIY and be proud of it. I've still got the water jet program that made this heat shield - PM if interested. :drool2:

I installed a afe pro 5 stock drop in and I love it, Im thinking about doing the airbox mod, by the way you aren't gonna notice a thing power wise by buying an expensive intake, either get a bhaf or get something different than that junk k&n filter
