have a 2006 ford 6.0 deisel, put the smt programmer and turbo back exhaust, looking at the afe stage 2 and airaid intakes, they claim 22 horsepower and over 70 pounds of torque, they are 250$ are they worth it and which one is better thanks

Jim, I replied to your email. I will call you tomorrow.

I have the Airaid on my 06, well worth the money truck breaths easier.

If you are in a extremely dusty environment, the factory filter Donaldson filters the best. Next best filtering would be the AFE 1 and 2 breathes a little better and easily taken out and cleaned. There are alot of open filter designs, I went with mac, its the only one witha 6" tube vs 4", and clean it about every 4 mos. JIM, Talk to BUCK, he will take care of you. Jeff

thanks jeff, Buck is calling me today, will probably go with your advice, has always been good to my , thanks jim

I put a K&N FIPK intake on my Jeep and have seen a noticeable improvement in gas mileage and it seems to have a little more power, mostly in the upper RPM's. For some reason, when you get on it, it sounds like a freakin V8 even though it's an I6. So I'd imagine an intake for a diesel would have the same effect but with bigger numbers in increase. It's time for me to match the intake up with an exhaust system now.

DON'T get the K&N. Lots and lots of PSD problems with K&N. It does not filter well enough. I have a 2000 7.3 PSD. I went with the kit from www.trueflow.com . Its a new deal, that the foam flows much better than a paper or washable cotton element, and it filters much better.

the fastest diesel truck at LOTO uses an AFE intake....

You don't have to brag on my truck.

Is there any chance the truck you speak of is a "Pro Trucks" built truck?
