Intake
Hello all,

I was considering getting one of the cold air intake's for the ole 6.0....for the people here that have that upgrade, is it a good investment? What are the benefits?

Any product suggestions?

Thanks,
Gene

I used to run an AFE sealed cannister.....it did well but became a PITA after a while. I went back to the stock setup and put the AFE up in the rafters.
