    Question Where did you buy your cold air intake?

    Two quick questions with, hopefully, some nice, short and sweet answers for future forum searchers looking for the information.


    1.) Where did you buy your cold air intake (k&n, other, etc)?
    2.) Has it added to your power and/or mpg?

    I can't remember where I bought the cold air intake, but it's a street performance electronics air intake.
    It is less restricted than the box, so yes, it does deliver more hp and I feel it has helped out with my mpg.

    * on another note, I'm about to try the forced cold air kit, by getting pcv and running it to the front of the truck and straight up to the filter which will make it more cold air or forced air oppose to the heat under the hood going into the motor.

    Woot!

    Good luck with that. I'm going to have to get under the hood and see what kind of room there is under there to get a little fresher air to where it counts.

    what makes that a 2 stage? is it the size, the setup, how is it determined what stage your product is?

    stage 1 is just the air filter and the box that surrounds it stage 2 includes that and the tube from the box to the engine
