Got one installed after the sensors on the stock manifold broke. Not sure how much of a difference it’ll make yet.
What’s your plan for this truck?

Not 100% sure yet. The stock manifold sensors broke, so I replaced the whole thing.

Are you turning it into a speed build?
@Gabi
Kind of, yeah!
How’s it performing so far?

Haven’t pushed it hard yet, but it revs higher and there’s a noticeable power boost.

I’m thinking about this for my tow rig. I’ve already got dual exhaust and 4.10 gears. Do you think shorty headers would pair well with this?
@Valor
I don’t tow much, so I can’t say for sure. It feels smooth under normal driving, but the real gain kicks in above 3k rpm.

Got it, thanks for the insight!

Cool! Did you get it tuned?

Yeah, the IRMC sensors had to be locked out for this setup.
That coupler looks restrictive. Is it a 90° boot?

Yeah, I trimmed it a bit but plan to replace it with a better angle soon. This manifold sits higher than the stock one.
With that elbow bent so much, is airflow even decent?

It might not be that different from stock. A 2018 stock intake has a similar 90° bend—check this out.
How did you handle the tuning part?

Used 5 Star Tuning. They also took care of the IRMC sensor delete.
That crimped elbow is probably holding back some gains. You should clean up the bend more.
Why do people put on exposed cold air intakes? You’re just pulling in engine heat. I’ve seen videos where folks thought it’d lower temps, but it actually raised them.
