I know...I know... intakes don't do much. But I just love the increased intake noise they provide.

If you are running an intake, which did you get? How do you like it?

The options I currently see are AFE, Roush and S&B, anything else out there?

The stage2 from aFe looks insane, probably will be the best all around.

After talking with several individuals who know more about this stuff than I do, their recommendation was to not spend money on something that would lessen the filtration and provide little other than aesthetic value. Indeed they said it may do more harm than good, because it changes the balance of airflow and exhaust etc.

I think I'll skip putting one on my truck.

I don't see anything on that link that shows any performance gains or that ensures that it maintains the factory level of filtration.

"Flow Efficiency" is about it's capability to flow more not that it will actually flow more on the vehicle or that has more filtration capacity. Show me dyno results and ISO filtration testing results and then it might be worth considering. Until then, that's just some $900 engine jewelry that may or may not let dust and dirt into your engine.

You might be right, let's see when it's released.
