Ya... he has it right... if you JUST want it functional... get the homebrew... but if you want it show quality like me... ur gunna need a professional tube stuff like that.opie34705 said:Yeah. It was cheap, functional, LOUD, easy, and it doesn't melt like K&N says it does. I have been driving in Houston heat with it for a while and it is doing just fine. I painted it to match my truck (silver) and had to make some brackets to support the cone filter, but it is otherwise doing very well. I still have a stock exhaust (removed 3rd cat) and the engine is now the loudest part of the truck. I would recomend it to anyone who is thinking about getting the Shaker Hood on their truck, but don't have the $1000 to do so yet. I can't attest to the HP gains from the 3'' homebrew intake, as I changed to Autolite plugs, 180 t-stat, and bored out my throt body at the same time. All of those mods have really brought my '01 4.7 4X4 to life.
I put back the hat (square part with the 2 chambers) and the sounds decreased and engine likes it!Conman said:but I will say..this mutha is loud...almost drowns out the Flowmaster at WOT..I dare say it's amost annoying...sounds like the truck is bogging to sometimes..like with half throttle accelaration..anyway I'll give it a few more days before I decide if I'm keeping it or not...it only cost me $22 at the Depot.
