I have an open element K&N on my truck, it has now air box or anything its simmilar to a cold air kit but for a carb. but i would do it, the only thing i notice is when its like 20 below the truck dosent run as good as when its like 30 so thats where the stock cleanner is nice, but only because it used to drag warm air of the manifold, but in your case its prob, FI so i dont know if it actually warms the air when its cold, but i would do it, more power, better gas millage and it sounds cool!

The "cold air intake" system on my F350 was simply rerouting the flexible plastic intake hose from the air box to next to the radiator, through a different hole, so it hung out behind the headllights on the driver's side.
Cost me one wire tie.

yeah, unless you have polution controll stuff in the air box, i dont know if that has any breathers in there, if it dose youd have to plumb them in sumhow, but yes basicly take out your airbox and put in some filters.

Who me?
I didn't change the hoses from the airbox to the throttle body, all I did was re-route the flexi-hose from the airbox to in front of the radiator area, so it gets colder air rather than hotter air from the engine compartment.
air box is sitll there!
