New K&N intake, king of cold air

YungLilYungBoiNvrYungAgen · Sep 22, 2023

Everything required some fitment, some pieces missing, but God Damn it's the best sounding intake I ever heard.

The ram air scoop is made to the same dimension as the factory one, but since it's more rigid, bolt holes don't line up easily, about half an inch off. So I haven't put it in yet.

Also, total install time was like... not 90 minutes. I had all the tools (power ratchet ftw), and had to supplement. The directions I had an issue at least every other step that kept adding 10 mins of fitment here, 10 mins there. Total time... not even lying so you can make fun of me, was 5 hours.

Curious to see what dyno numbers will be, i would expect to be about the same as S&B.

Damn! I think every time I stomped on it, I'd have flashbacks to a terrible Dentist visit I had years ago.

Was the seal around the filter compartment damaged out of the box or did that happen during install?

I've had my eye on this intake but seems the quality control (maybe on this batch) isn't quite there?

Yep. Also, what's up with the crooked K&N Logo sticker? That would annoy me. We can just remove it sure, but if they're charging $600 for these things, they should have a little better attention to detail.

Not a sticker and yes the holes it went into were crooked good eye, I actually was laughing my ass off at that last night. I feel on the contrary 600 is on the cheaper side for this truck... for some reason. If it 960$ like the afe then yeah I'd be pissed

The missing stuff I had to replace, auto body is my hobby so I had extra everything. Be prepared to be trigger when it says "use the provided".

Sweet!

Would love to get some video of you driving from behind the wheel / interior sound impressions!

@YungLilYungBoiNvrYungAgen If possible, could you please take a picture of the clearance between the supercharger and the back of the air box? I want to see if it's any better than the stock air box since I'll be installing 1" blower spacer plates.
