wicked wheel/intake

So I have a question about these two that I havent really found an answer to on the forum. First question is the wicked wheel worth it? I have am early 6.0 and the numbers look good but im asking for real world information? Im also wondering om the intake. I know the intakes are good for like 500hp but hows the performance of an aftermarket? Is there anymore cab noise or the turbo being louder?

Save your money on both and buy a billet wheel from Clay at Riffraff. You'll be MUCH happier and save a bunch of $$$$.

Can't comment on the wicked wheel, but i can on the aftermarket air filter
I've run one on my truck for about 20,000km now and first start up you could instantly hear the turbo more, engine side of course. It won't change your exhaust note. Some people complain about them dusting the turbo but i've had mine off many times and have not seen any sort of dust on the compressor wheel.
