Default AFE Anyone?

I've seen several threads on the AFE cold air intake, people wanting to know what kind of success came from them. But, no one ever says how they liked dis-liked them. Does any body have one and if so......

Yep, I put AFE on. Price was right, didn't cost a fortune and works great

I had an AFE on mine prior to going FI. I think based on my dyno prior to the FI I got somewhere around 13-15RWHP which is probably pretty close to the 20HP at the crank that they advertise. As far as a performance difference, I'm not sure how much you actually notice on a car that starts with 345 at the crank.

If anyone is interested in a used one for $100 plus shipping let me know. I think they sell for $259 new.

Mine is a 97 and dry. The oil ones tend to foul sensors

The filter is off a 98. I believe it is the same for 98-2004. It is the oil type. Let me know if you are interested.
