You change the exhaust yet? That makes more of a difference. Straight pipe is not loud at all, turbo kills the noise.

AFE Filter top replacement. Took all of 4 minutes and seems like a waste of money. I needed a new filter and am not a fan of the factory airbox. I think I can tell a power difference... Now all I need is a bag of chips

my dad called me yesterday about a ford factory replacement airbox that costs $500. he said they changed the design so they wont break and let in lots of crap.

how much was this one and do you know anything about this?

AFE makes a great product. I really liked the one on the ford, just wish I had bought the one that was a toploader instead of the ghey canister type in the 6pointOhs.

Who's your Amsoil dealer?

Truck is all ready straight piped, being a dually you can hardly hear a difference even with the windows down.

I paid 200 shipped for the filter setup, I'm kinda disapointed in the AFE filter itself. Its the "Dry S filter" thats says its a lifetime but requires no cleanning only "tapping".

I think to actualy get more performance I also need to modify the airbox to let more air in. Would anybody see anything wrong with cutting out the side thats closest to the fender?

edit- Dammit I got the wrong setup, off by 1 part number. I should check better when dealling in person with four wheel parts. I was wanting the "radial flow wasable filter" instead of the Dry S one, and its a wopping 12 dollars difference.

i raise my flag. 7.3L also have a horrible "picket fence" or whatever you wish to call it from the turbo.

and id vote drill some holes. i didnt feel like paying $200+ for a intake. so i bought a AFE proguard dropin filter and cut up my stock airbox.

Sound doesn't bother me, I like it better than the 4 or 5 inch system which act like a megaphone.

I feel ripped off now, I like the idea of the top that seal around the hood to cut back on the heat but I was expecting a higher quality filter. The dropin proguard seemed pretty pointless to me due to the bad factory box design.

its really not loud at all. i was suprised to hear that is was straight piped

i have heard those filters are cleanable. they used to have a video on the website, just dropped in a 5 gallon bucket.

This is why I don't like leveling kits

You do realise that you have nearly a couple tonns of sand (more if the moisture content is high). You have a bed liner in that truck?

[agjohn02]

any truck will sit arse low when overloaded. ed, put this on the big dumb loads thread!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Ok, there is no license plates or club stickers in it, so I will just say somebody saw it in arkansas or oklahoma or somewhere.

I would bet it was about 5,000 lbs, 2 yards of some wet ass clay. How was that overloaded? I was nowhere close to hitting the bumpstops, tires are good and the brakes fair.

edit- The official payload is 5,000 lbs therefore I was officialy not overloaded

[Seth]

nice. reminds me of the song, "brakes are good, tires fair"
