Message:
which intake is better?? i havent heard anything 'bad' about either, of course K&N is the biggest but its also over 100 dollars more than the airaid
so my question is which is better? K&N Fuel injection performance kit/77 series or Airaid intake?

I have the AirAid full cold air kit, it worked wonders with my 02 4.7. Noticeable mid range and top end power gains.
I also have a K&N on my 98 5.2 4x4 also did wonders for mid to top end power but for a bit more money.

Functionally, I don't think you'll find much differance between the two. Then it becomes an asthetic or financial decision. Buy whichever one looks the best to you, or is cheapest.

whatever you do, if you get a CAI, do not go mudding through any kind of deep water! i have a K&N FIPK gen 2 on my 98 Dak 5.2 and twice now offraoding i have hydro-locked it. i'm lucky in that i haven't messed anything up (at least nothing has shown yet) but it was something i never xpected to happen. i'm going to try and build a shield or something similar to hopefully cut this problem out. just thought i'd give ya a heads up.

Super bee,
Does the add-on plumbing really make a difference?
I understand the theory, but it doesn't make sense where my engine lives, 2,000 RPM.
Modifying my air filter box and running a tube next to the radiator just collects far more dirt faster.
PS, the Amsoil Ea air filter is the best one to stick on the end of your plumbing.

i have an airad on my dak also. Definatly opens things up. Pretty loud, mine wissles a little through 1/4 throttle. I second the comment about being careful when mudding with a cold air intake. Even going out to the desert with mine really did a number on it. I just got the prefilter for it last week to help lengthen the cleaning intervals. I felt like I needed to clean it every time I went offroad .

The gains for this mod are mostly at the upper revs. K&N took quite a while to develop their version for the 4.7, saying the wouldn't release it until they could dyno a gain. As far as I know, they are the only intake manufacturer who claims they will dyno a gain for the 4.7 without other mods. If I cared about upper rpm mods, I'd go with the K&N; but I was more interested in mods that made good torque down low, or throughout the whole range.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

The old post, "What is the best intake?" includes some "homebrew" setups for around $100 or less. In most cases, a K&N drop-in or similar is more than adequate on a 4.7.

We've sold K&N for years but I tried the Volant intake on my Dakota. Very impressed. Similar to the old Intense Performance z-tube design. Nice kit.
Not a sales pitch but we do offer it for $199 on the Gen III trucks.

Frog,
Are you sure its the air filter?
Could be bad gas.
I mean, did you actually try with both filters and can actually say that it is, in fact, the K&N filter?
Just curious. It would just be the first time I've heard that about a K&N filter. Maybe your throttle body needs a good cleaning?
I'm really not trying to be a prick, its just, like I said, first time I heard that about a filter, unless it was dirty. Or maybe its got too much oil on it, and its choking the engine.

Either one will have similar effects as far as performance gains i would just go with K&N because of the name. But if you want the best possible intake i say go with the aFe intake i just put one on my 99' 5.2L and i love it and saw a pretty good performance change
