Jegs Gift Certificate

66nova · December 3, 2008

I have a Jegs gift certificate to spend and I don't really want to spend anymore than I have on the certificate. So I want your opinions. If you were to have to choose between the Airaid intake tube or just buying a high flow filter, which would you buy?

Filter or Tube?

AND

Any brand preferences for filters...K&N, AEM, or Airaid

Thanks guys!

I would get a filter. The stock tube flows alright and I don't want to spend 100 dollars on a plastic tube. Get a dry filter so you never have to oil it. I got a aFe dry flow for mine.

I'd go with the high flow filter (Airraid). I've got the Airraid CAI and I'm very happy with it.

Looks like I'm in the minority here... I'd get the tube with the gift card. Upgrade the filter later, as a part of "maintenance." But, upgrade as a "gift" to yourself, to get rid of some of the baffles in the stock intake tube and get a little more sound out of the intake...

I would have to agree here. You won't see much improvement from either, but the tube sounds cool.

I have the MIT and a K&N drop-in. It's much cheaper than a full CAI and it sounds great. I think I have $150 in all of it.

That said, tube first.

I like the K&N filters but I don't like the sound of an open air filter. I want all of the sound to come from the exhaust...

Thanks for all the replies! I decided to go with just a drop in filter for now because I really wanted it now (that's just how I am) and they told me the intake tube would not probably get to me until after Christmas.

So I ordered the filter and a DeeZee Easy drop tailgate kit (Thanks Michael!). I think the kit is going to come in handy with a baby and getting stuff in and out of the back. I hate it when the tailgate just drops.

Thanks again guys!!!
