Well made, but don't expect a lot.
I installed this CAI about a week ago. It took me around 1.5 hours because I was working on a hundred things at once. It could have been done in 45 minutes to an hour had there been no distractions. It is well made, and everything fits nicely. All hardware was included with it. Now, regarding performance... I really didn't notice any change at all. Everything I had read led me to believe that there would be small changes in tone, performance, and gas mileage. Nothing drastic, but changes nonetheless. I recorded video of before and after so I could see if there was any tone change. Unfortunately, there was not. I wasn't expecting much of a change in sound, so I wasn't too disappointed. The same goes for performance. I wasn't expecting much, just a little bit more pep during acceleration. If there was a change in performance, it is so minimal that it cannot be noticed. And lastly, fuel economy. A few tanks of gas have made its way through my lines since I installed it. I drive to the same two places every single day, and I map my mileage. My average before was 15.8 mi per gallon. My average with the addition of the cold air intake is 16.3 Miles per gallon. Not a big change, but after spending $350 plus dollars on this CAI, I will take what pennies I can get.

S&B Cold Air Intake
Install was simple and looks great. Gives your truck a bit more engine noise and accelerates slightly faster, in my opinion.

Awesome product!
Packaged very well. Easy on line installation instructions. Love the new design on the (screwless) see through filter cover! My only suggestion for the 5.0 is that the intake tube extends a little bit far into the air box, which makes getting the filter on and off a bit tight! And alot of people think kind of pricey for plastic! Keep in mind the fitment and engineering involved. Overall a very nice product!

Good CAI
Works as it should. Haven’t had any issues, haven’t noticed any power difference (not tuned), and I can hear the intake whine just a little. My only complaint is that it’s a pain to get the filter in and out to clean. I wish the window was just a couple inches bigger.

Cold Air Intake Performance
Notice it's a got a tad more pep. In just a weeks worth of driving I'm up about 1 mile on mpg
