what do yall think of the AirAid Quick Fit Intake System
i did a search and found lots of info on the K&N but not on the
AirAid
i just got a call and can get one for 50 bucks installed
its a used one but i was thinking it was cheap enough
if its worth messin w/ ... its the same one the dealer sells
and lists at dealer for over 250

thx

 

Like everything else, there are people who have good and bad things to say about this item. But for $50 installed, you really can't go wrong. If it make an improvement, $50 well spent. If it doesn't, then a good lesson learned, and you can share your experience here, and probably still find someone to give you some money for it. I say, go for it!

 

ur right... i'll go tomorrow and get it
thx

 

Please let us know how it turns out!

 

sure thing .. if i can get one more mpg it will pay for itself purdy quick

 

Assuming you get 15 mpg .. so for every 15 miles you save a gallon of gas ... at$2.50 a pop .. after 300 miles of "normal" driving yes ... then lets add the fact that it adds a few ponies worth of power .. thus requiring more fuel to do so ... then you get used to the slightly more responsive truck .. so you push it a lil harder ... by the time everything is said and done you'd have to drive 15K miles before it paid for itself LOL! In all seriousness though ... enjoy ..seems like a hell of a good deal .. paid damn near 400 for my 77 series FIPK when they first came out ... speaking of which .. anyone got a $50 dollar bargain on those!?!?

 

i got it installed today
first impression is good
its not as loud as the K&N we had on the 06
seems like it runs better its no turbo tho
i filled up tonight so we'll check the mpg and see
if its gonnawork out
i have checked 3 tanks sofar and its always between 14.5 and 15 mpg
i hoping for 16mpg now

 

Hope it helps!

 

just filled up today and got 15.7 mpg and even ran the a/c this tank
so im happy
i'll check this tank also
afterfirst tank im giving the AirAid a thumbs up

 

I have also been checking into the AIRAID products. I am especially curious about Throttle Body Spacer:

As well as the Intake:

I have been leaning toward the K&N because it comes in black and I am not looking to Bling out my engine bay with chrome, red or silver so this fits with the theme I want, just would like more info on performance.

Could you post some pics of how it looks in the engine bay? Appreciated.
