I bought one and they are okay. I ahd to bend the first pipe to 90 degrees for it to fit. I then replaced with a K&N cause they are just better. Its you call, they will work just cheap aluminum.

I just bought one, its alright but dont buy from LIVEONSPEED, he sucks and takes FOREVER! Like was mentioned, if you got the money go for the K&N, much better.
ive got one, and i noticed a small difference. It was only like 30 bucks so i guess you get what you pay for.

i just recieved confirmation monday that mine was on its way via ups,so i decided to get another one for my other truck,paid for it this morning,he didnt complain when i made him wait until i got my paycheck to send the first payment-oh and i looked at k&n ,s version shure its nice it is way too much money for the gain they say it will give you ---------7 HP @4700 RPM

Well I bought it thinking it was specific to my truck and he ends up sending me an email 2 weeks after I won the auction asking me for all this information on the truck. I just dont understand the point of putting up an auction with vehicle specs on it and then turning around 2 weeks later asking what kind of truck I had.
made my own with a k&n noticed nothing but a ricey sound from 2000- 4500 rpm but +10 miles per tank i bested 506 per tank on the way to georgia took in easy on the speed though! i wouldn't close the filter in a box un less you plan to use ram air. closing it in would defeat the purpose. :D

O and watch out when buying from eBay, mine didn't even fit so I had to rig up the stock hoses just to connect the freaking thing.
