Quick question on S & B CAI

[Zeus1911]

A new intake manifold or air horn as some guys refer to

Do you like the GDP on drd or the Banks? I saw a youtube video called intake shootout 2017 and banks outperformed all of them, of course it was made by banks. LOL

Take a look at Shibby before you decide, Clayton @Dude's Diesel Performance is a vendor for Shibby. Lots of talk about them here on the forum.
Knowing what I know now, I would have gone the air horn direction first and also did a grid heater delete before I did the CAI.
Hindsight is always 20/20, but it also costs more in the long run.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the quick reply! Would you have any reservations on doing the deletes and tuner before the warranty is up? I have 17k and i think its a 30k warranty.

I did my truck after its first oil change. Nearly 70k miles later and so far so good. If I were to get a new truck I'd at least go for DRD's EGRless tuning. You still have to use DEF but it will stop sending exhaust back into the engine.

If you guy's had to choose from a CAI or a Airhorn upgrade which one whould you get first?

The stock airbox with a decent paper filter is good for up to around 500hp, plenty for a stock or delete tuned truck. A CAI will give more turbo sound and open up the engine bay a bit but not much else.

Doing an air horn upgrade and grid heater delete/relocate will increase airflow into the engine, especially if as a stock truck has seen a lot of time idling which allows soot to build up on the grid heater and intake.

You mentioned decent paper filter. I have the stock airbox but I have a K&N drop in filter. Is that an issue?

Stay away from Banks most of the time they are just over hyped and way over priced ! GDP Intakes are very good and so is Pusher and Shibby stuff is great just no Banks BS on a Cummins major no no everybody else stuff is great Check out Clayton from DDP he will hook you up
