nope, a lot of us use a 6637 setup which is essentialy a large cylindrical tractor filter. It's cheap and easy. I pull the whole intake out often, quick and easy.

My truck came with an AFE intake that has a box/shield around the filter in a feeble attempt to isolate it from engine heat and pull 'cold' air from the front; but it's still behind the battery. The AFE kits are in the $300-400 range, not worth it in my opinion. I'm glad I wasn't the one who spent the money on it. Just get a 6637 kit and be done!

I bought the AFE to isolate the turbo whistle from getting into the interior of the cab. I do not feel its a feeble attempt to keep heat from the filter, it works. It still wasn't enough to keep the noise out so I put a cummins turbo whistle silencer on the intake and that took care of most of the whistle. Trying to keep the little woman happy, LOL
