Let's talk intakes...
Ive been shopping them recently and can't decide what to get...no limit or absolute performance. Really the only difference I can see between the two is no limit has the lower support brace which might be the deciding factor for me. Thoughts?

Much more airflow when compared to the stock intake. Won't see a real benefit until you are trying to make more power.

Agreed. More air flow does no good without more fuel unless the intake was restricted in the 1st place. If the restriction is in the exhaust you've still gained nothing. Most am intakes are more bling than power for the average owner. The truck may be slightly faster since there is less weight in your wallet.

I don't need a CAI but I do miss the wonderful turbo whistle.
Then again it's pretty cool they are so quite now.
I'm kinda on the fence myself.

In my opinion, that is correct. Guys claim better throttle response on a stock truck. I really don't know.
An A/M intake was a must on my 6.4 when it was tuned. They demanded a LOT of airflow. When I dyno'd my 2012, it made 497HP, but went into limp mode on the last run because I was still running a stock intake. I really don't see a need for em in stock form.

If it matters to anyone, removing the intake baffles designed to eliminate engine sound can be a nice touch. I enjoy my cai because I can hear the engine and I can clean and reuse my filter. I've got 160,000 miles on my washable cone and I like the deep tone it allows me to listen to.

I know this thread is specifically discussing intakes for the 6.7 but does anyone have any information/sources for either a K&N replacement filter or an intake setup for the 2017 6.2 ? I have looked and not found anything for the 2017's.
