Air Induction System Q

Anyone using an Air Induction System from K & N, Mac, AFE, or others? What's your thoughts on the best one? Mac is the only one I'm finding for an 04 250. Engine is an 03.

I have the K&N cold air box. It has a big mass air and a filter as large as the stock one. Everything unbiased I've read says it's of the highest quality. I've run them on 12 cars and trucks and never had a problem.
The K&N was worth a kick in the pants 20 to 25 HP.

Don't get one of the cone shaped filters as they are too small.

And we've used in a 7.3 L on a ranch were the dirt and dust is extremely high----with very good results. Very happy with it.

I actually use the cone shaped unit on a car.....

I have too, with good results, but on these hill country construction sites, the limestone dust is murder. I just want a BIG one!
