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

Thoughts on heat soak in the summer time with the plug removed?

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?

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
