True Flow intake looks pretty good- especially at this price on Amazon with free shipping!

Thanks Joe! Looks like more of the same, though...right? Not so much a "cold" air intake as it is just a "more" air intake.

Good price. If you get this system, be prepared for vibration noise from the Pssgr side fender! True Flow does not customer support that little problem. [&o]

I'm just being honest here...the piping that that uses looks like the sewage hose on my motor home...you know the ones that you hook to the septic tank and then dump into the ground at the camp grounds...am I the only one seeing that? I'd wait...Doc has something good in the works...I can just tell haha. It should be worth the wait!

The cannister is to small in relation to the filter and more than likely the cfm requirement per the revs to properly get air, I bet this thing howls when you hit the gas. CF is a good idea on the insulation from heat but to small IMO. I don't know how they dyno'd it when its always in 4wd. The hose is turbulant nightmare, if you notice most mainstream brands have smooth pipe, I wonder why?? "Go ahead" You could buy if you want to waste your money or to see what you actually get? The only closed cannister type intake that I know that works is Pipercross. One thing for sure I read the advertisment and the comparisons to weight and power make me laugh and say "SUCKER" all over it. These guys sure know how to pour the BS. Its JUNK IMO.
I got to admit the sellers name sure fits the product BLING.

If you are so impatient about getting an intake. Get the GM performance intake its an AEM dry filter that fits in the box and replacesthe flexable tubing.

Doc Olds:
Be patient, there is a better top qualityand realsystem on the way to be pricedaround $150.00. Stay tuned.
I was considering True Flow...not any longer.
Volant seems a good choice at $286. Better presentation than the other 2 contenders.
Airaid at $199.
K&N at $252. Seems to have the better filter...1 million mile warranty.

So...do we have a brand name on the new product? Expected delivery date? What kind of hp might it offer?

This isn't rocket science. All of them do a similar thing. The filter is the weekest link, then the throttle bodyresonator box with its accordian style flexible connector hoses. They take that out/off and replace it with a smooth flowing tube. Some replace the factory filter box and build a barrier over in the corner where it came from and try to tell us that they are some how gettin cold air from behind the headlight area?



This weekend looks like it will be very close to market. It offers the same the other systems do, but is built for overkill.
