[QUOTE="jesse, post: 99617, member: 1453"] well i decided to run it again, but with the K&N before i send it off to powder coat...I saw like a 1 to 2 MPG increase with stock air filter..with the K&N, i saw a bigger increase in MPG's. I drove out to the springs, ran some trails...then drove back home...all equaled out to about 420 mile trip. before i was getting like 16MPG on the HWY with the K&N, and about 13 to 14 city...now, im getting 15 to 16 city and 17 to 18 Highway...really impressed with my entire setup so far! im way stoked...for one, with the stock air filter i get only about 14 MPG hwy max...which isnt bad at all for my elevation, as with my old truck (2005 F150) i was getting 19 MPG Hwy in California, and here in northern CO, i was getting 14 to 15 MPG..so for me to get anything better than that out here in this elevation, im waaayyy stoked! Im also stoked to keep the stock housing for offroad purposes. i feel confident enough to spend the extra dime on powder coat and so on... On a side note, for anybody wanting to do something cheaper...i saw on the Dakar Rally SVT Raptor, they used a high pressure hose, 3" in diameter...thats probably much less and much easier to obtain than fabricating an aluminum piece. I also noticed the Dakar version has the same setup...just eliminated all the air silencers and kept the stock housing... anyhow, i figured i can give an update and an honest assessment with MPG read outs.... here are some pics of it installed on truck before powder coat> [ATTACH=full]181069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181071[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
