Air box &

My truck has the stock exhaust with the muffler deleted. It also has stock air box. Will an aftermarket air filter/box and 4" exhaust effect the egt's, fuel economy or performance? And if so, which brands?

I am happy with the ford AIS intake. Nice and quiet and filters great.

To answer your questions, it will lower egt's, help turbo spool up, and maybe help a bit on fuel mileage.

It will filter much much better than the stock junk as well.

The best hands down is the AFE Stage 2 intake system.
The ford ais works well too but doesn't flow as much.

A cheap alternative to both is the DIY/6637/Tymar intake. Which is a NAPA/Fleetguard PN 46637 filter, clamp, and piece of 4" hose.
Less than 50$ and does a dang good job of filtration and flow.

I picked up 1.5 sold mpg's when I did the intake and exhaust. Not saying you will see this gain, but that is my experience.
