Default Best Cold Air intake for 2006 6.0 PSD

Who makes the best Cold air intake for the 2006 6.0 PSD? And who has the best price? I'm going to check out the deiselstop.com too, I thought I would ask the OSO members first.
Thanks,
Dean

AFE mega 2. Largest filter capacity of all, quicker spool up especially if have turbo back exhaust and module or chip. A custom tuned SCT is the best for the Ford 6.0 litres. Read al about it on www.dieselstop.com The people I deal with is Innovative Diesel, ask for Ted or Eric the owner, they can sell everything at a package price.. www.innovativediesel.com

BTW if you are just adding a intake with out the other mods it is not worth it. Your spool up will be flat and or slower, the OEM filter is just fine. Jeff

NOT K&N. Lots of issues with K&N and PSDs.

I have a TrueFlow setup on my 7.3 and love it. Jassman is right on with www.thedieselstop.com . Do your research there.

Jeff,
Thanks for the valuable info. Yeah, I was just going to change the air filter, and figured that I might go to a aftermarket cold air intake, (IF I could be a little more MPG out of it) and no other mods. Sounds like I might be better off staying with the OEM filter.
How's the new NT? I love your set-up with the Yanmars/Arnesons, kinda my dream set-up on my next dream boat!
Thanks,
Dean

I have the AFE also. It was done by a mech. that specilizes in FORD performance aftermarket goodies. By the way ,it is great on my DURA-MAX.

So is the concensus is that I won't really see any MPG gains installing it?
Thanks for the input guys,
Dean

You will want to try and run a large capacity dry filter. The oiled ones tend to leave a fine oil film on the turbine viens that dirt and dust stick to.
