I'm in north central Austin. Not far from pflugerville. I saw the Austin dinner thread but it seems only 4 members are conversatin on there recently, lol.

I just ordered jb3 and aFe intake from **********s and it comes in today!!

I watched the vid on the jb3 install but is it harder than it looks?

Any tips?

Thanks,
matt

Be careful not to break any clips that might point to "tampering" at the dealer. AFE intake is fairly straightforward - I have it on mine and really like it, although the rubber "seal" strip along the top of the airbox eventually came loose and needed to be replaced.

Any time. I'd be interested in checking out how your JB3 and AFE perform versus my Dinan S2 and AFE sometime. Message me privately if you'd like to meet up somewhere and compare notes.

The Dinan & aFe worked alright together, imho. The UR CAI is superior though ...

As far as the rubber "gasket" along the top edge of the aFe DCI .... purchase a small diameter rubber hose about 18" long, slit it down the middle and use it along the top edge of the intake. Looks better & won't wear out.

That's just what I did! Works great. Only issue I have now is that the oil seems to either dry out or discolor very quickly...ever see that happening? Mine actually looks like it's dried up in spots...not the whole cone, though.

I thought about that and checked into replacing mine...about $90 plus shipping for the 2 of them. Are the dry ones less efficient at increasing airflow than the oiled cotton?

Aniv - How do you like that diesel? I've heard they're pretty impressive. I'm in Forest Creek, not far from you.
