Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the quality, ease of installation, noise, throttle response, and fit of the engine air filter. For example, they mention it's well thought out, easy to install, and makes the engine note sound a lot better. Some appreciate the deeper exhaust tone and better engine performance. That said, they're satisfied with appearance, and performance. One downside is the alignment.

First thing I will note, there is a very noticeable increase in throttle noise when you put your foot in it BUT under normal driving conditions there is very little difference (sound wise) It sounds like the old 4 barrel carburetors use to sound, (remember quadrajet?)
Second, there is a large increase in throttle response, I actually have to remember to take it easier at take off, I was chirping the tires at take off at turns at first, (never did that before). I also have more getup at lower RPMs then I did before. Don't miss understand my point, there is not a huge increase in power, it's just snappier, it gets moving faster and has more punch, I attribute this to the better air flow not big HP/Torque jump.
Third, I did notice an increase in MPG, I am RELIGIOUS about tracking my MPG, I do it in extreme detail because I drive so much and i have been trying to find a way to improve the mileage anywhere I could, I would baby the throttle, I would try all different brands of gas, I would even research the best tires for lower rolling resistance (all helped by the way) I can tell you with certainty that I got a huge increase from where I was at just before I installed it, the only issue is that my air cleaner was dirty so I wasn't getting the best MPG or even the same MPG as when I first installed the air cleaner, with the dirty air cleaner I was getting around 16mpg, I drive both city and highway, on the highway I drive 75 (65 nets much better MPG for me) With a clean stock air cleaner I was getting 18mpg very consistently. On windy days my MPG will go down by 1 or 2 on the highway, I pay that close attention. I should mention that I have an aftermarket device that monitors MPG in real time) It also monitors other things like intake air temp, pressures, fuel consumption, also in real time, etc.
I am now getting 19.5mpg and that is with 75+ on the freeway, I am going to tweak things and retest all the things I did in the past to get the best I can, I can say that (knowing my truck) I will be able to get more than 20 MPG in this thing, Im betting I will be at 22ish by mid winter. (Proper air in tires, better gas, less aggressive driving)
As far as the product, for the most part everything was good, the instruction were very poor to say the least but if you have any knowledge of this stuff then you will be fine. The parts were mostly okay, the holes on the box didn't line up exactly but were pretty close, with some pushing and pulling you will get everything lined up enough to install the bolts without modifying it.
My truck has never been wrecked and the engine compartment is in great shape, there is no rust, there is no grease or grime, I keep it degreased and steam clean it. all my old components came out with hand tools. So the fit issues were a result of poor tolerances in the product.
The metal cover is thin metal over a thin plastic with a thin foam back. The flexible adaptor to go from the tube to the MAS is cheap thin rubber. The rest of the parts seemed good however.
I will be updating this at some point, I wanted to get something up though since there was only one review for this version on Amazon as of the time of this review.
The trickiest part was mounting the MAFS to the air filter adapter with the hex bolts.
Over all i`m happy with my purchase. The air filter cone IS MASSIVE!
No rubbing issues on the fan shroud - about 1/2 an inch of room.
Noticed an immediate tone difference in my exhaust. It`s a`lot deeper. (cherry bomb extreme to 5-inch tips)
Cruising around, there's a nice "hisssss" to the intake. When you punch it.......... sounds like Heaven!
- I will say that at about 2500-3000 rpms, based on what gear range your in, there`s ALOT of cab noise. It doesn't bother me but I know to most it will be unbearable. Noticed more on the highway way 60-75 MPH
Again - over all i`m happy with the purchase.
Noticed better acceleration - deeper exhaust tone - loud intake noise.
Cant tell about MPG - I just put the intake on last night, but ill check back in.
