FramBoost Air Intake Experience?
Looking for anyone with information and experience with the FramBoost Air intakes on their 6.0L's. I like the idea of not having to oil the filter. Any information you can provide on performance, mileage changes, and sound characteristics would be greatly appreciated.

We've covered this quite a bit.
Why switch? The stock Donaldson Powercore filter is excellent in both filtration and flow. You'll see very little change in the sound (you won't hear it over the engine) and the performance/mileage differences are negligible.

Thanks Razorback, I think once the Hogs get their quarter back problems ironed out they will be there again. You could see the animosity between the QB's and that doesn't help the rest of the team.

Thanks for the information. Any thoughts on programmers that consider cold climates? I live in Minnesota and know the effects the cold climate can have on vehicles. I see very little discussion about how various programmers protect the engine on cold start up in the dead of winter.

Read the latest edition of Diesel Power Magazine where they compare 5 aftermarket air intakes to the stock. They used a stock Dodge Truck and dyno'd each unit. Results?
Back's up what you guys have been saying. On a stock truck, air intakes have no beneficial effect compared to the stock air filter. The engine is going to suck only so much air, and the stock filters are designed to take advantage of that. Plus, stock filters to a better job of filtering.
Now, if you do other improvements, like exhaust, turbo, injectors, intercooler, etc, then you might get some different results.
I noticed on the K&N, that the performance improvements on thier graph, where at 3300 rpm. I've never got my engine rpm's that high. Maybe if you drag, or pull a sled you might.
