I recall reading about driving in heavy rain maybe instructions, this have any impact on bottom hole being open?

 

don’t think it gets real wet in that location.

Yeah honestly i dont see how it would help or hurt at all with the plug in or out. The instructions dont say what they are thinking, just that its optional. The truck gets plenty of air from the stock location, and the filter is huge. I only left it out in hopes it was louder that way.

Warmer day update. Its in the 60s here now and its still nice and loud, i know on previous vehicles ive had turbos get a lot louder in the cold. Averaging around 21mpg in 100% city driving.

Absolutely no turbo whine. There is more air flow sound, but not the old school flipping the lid on a quadajet, but more of a deep echo, xlr8ing . Nothing to take away from cruising 80 mph in sound co

Probably slim to none. The vast majority of the heat from the engine is on the passenger side and the air forced through the area will be coming directly from the front of the truck.

What’s the consensus on dry vs oiled filter?

This is from sb themselves 

 

Both offer similar performance characteristics, so the decision comes down to would you rather throw away the filter or clean it.

Always wanted a filter you could just throw away
without sacrificing performance?

S&B's new Dry Filter is the answer.

  • Airflow comparable to cotton filters.
  • Same great protection S&B is known for.
  • Lasts up to 30,000 miles on the highway.
  • Extend the life of the filter using compressed air.

 

Personally I got the dry as it's the only one in stock right now

Did you call and they tell you it was in stock? Their website shows both on backorder.

Dang, I usually look a couple times a day. They've showed out of stock since they started shipping them on day 2.

 

Have you gotten a shipping notification yet? They can still be ordered now even though they are backordered.

Just got a email with tracking number this evening saying my backordered dry element style shipped today.

 

Should be waiting at the house before I return.

I ordered mine last night from S&B. They showed the dry element in stock so that's what I ordered as well.

Anyone install that can provide new feedback?

 

has there been any negative impact on mpg’s for those not using a heavy foot for throttle response?

      The "source" a woman, that writes the article is not a far right person. She's pretty well known "car person". She writes her own stuff, but yes it is initially posted under the Blaze, because they purchased the right to post it first, before it is posted on her own sites. It doesn't mean the info is any less valid. the article itself is not political It's not meant to discount any current actions in the Iran   Only posted the link because that's what has to be done to be legal to post the article. The Blaze is not a site I use. Lauren Fix's page pointed me there and I have to use a bypass method to look at the article since I'm not about to join the site. I've posted articles over the years from the Lefty sites, seems you didn't have a problem with that.   But you do you, keep looking at everything only through left/right lenses.   The 3 or 4 of you that participate in the some of the comments had ample chance to read everything. Other members that don't care for it, send in comments, because as they will point out, political talk is discouraged. Both "sides" complain

      Would be cool if someone made something most people would like.   Like a plug in tune that is to the end users desire minus messing with the throttle petal factory settings. Sport, economy and WFOT.

      I don’t. The source is a far-right fake news site perpetuated by Glenn Beck. Funny how you clean up political posts and then regurgitate garbage from politically tainted sites.

      Not a distraction. You miss the point of the article. It's not just for today's situation. Another way AI is being used and it may explain some of the prices changes when there is no apparent event to cause a 25 cent jump out of nowhere, only to immediately, the next day, begin to drop by 2 cents and so on. These situations were happening before the Iran thing fired off.   I used to be in the retail gas/service business. Pretty much a $1 increase in WTI would increase my price by maybe .10 cents. Now WTI can go down and retailers can get hit with a .35 cent increase out of nowhere.   I thought it was interesting read, since this is being used on all products we buy now
