I installed an AFE ProGuard7 filter onto 4" intake pipe and then a transition to 3" pipe. It cost me about $150 for filter and pipe. A bit more than the SSdiesel intake system, but I am confident in the quality of the filter and it is massive. It is the replacement filter for their duramax and powerstroke stage 2 cold air systems. The filter cost me $90 (79$ + shipping) ProGuard 7 Direct (http://www.proguard7direct.com/rpStoreFront/Scripts/MSFilter1.asp). The pipe and reducer/connectors I got on ebay. The 3" section was left over from my intercooler installation. I drilled a hole in the pipe for the CDR hose. As hot weather approaches I will probably make an air box for it.
I am getting a quicker response off the throttle, although I will probably not see the full benefit until I open up my exhaust and add boost. I have not decided what I think of the turbo whistle I can now readily hear. It sounds kind of like there is a tiny dentist drilling under my hood smile.gif
