Intake

I am looking for a new intake for my 6.0. The local shops in the Denver area are telling mt that the new AFE stage two is the way to go. I am still running the stock filter, but I have installed a 4" turbo back exhaust. Do I go with the AFE? What about the Volant system. I have done the Zoodad Mod. Will an after market intake help to lower the EGTs?

My local dealer has warned me directly that a aftermarket intake kit will void any turbo replacements under warranty. You may consider modding the stock intake, the OEM filter is quite capeable of air flow and filtering.

I have the Volant intake and like it. Any intake is not worth the money, only gain you will see is in the higher RPM's but I'm not normal.

I installed the Air-Raid, and I noticed a small difference in performance, (might be in my head), but I can hear the turbo spool up. Sounds cool, but on a long trip the turbo whine starts to bug me. The engine light came on a while back, (not intake related), and the dealer replaced my turbo. They said nothing about the Air-Raid intake. I recently installed a MBRP 4” cat back exhaust system and the combo of the Air-Raid and the exhaust made a VERY noticeable performance improvement.
