Is a air intake worth putting on?

So you got an extra 2.5 mpg by doing the exhaust and the airaid jr kit?. I am lucky to even get that much extra with my 01 truck and it has a k&n intake, replaced the stock muffler with a magnaflow, left stock tailpipe and seen a little increase not as much as you. I do have a custom tune and I was getting 19 in the summer, now its down to 17.5. How much mpg are you getting overall?

Well, a week later I installed Gibson shorties, and the next day did a Gibson cat-back. If I did pick up anything, I couldn't feel it. Might have to do with the fact that my truck is a 99....biggest gains I got was from cam, tuned 02 PCM (along with 00+ injectors...99's don't flow as much as 00 and up), and a few years later I ditched the shorties for some StainlessWorks LT's with catted y-pipe, and removed the dual tail pipes from the Gibson cat back, and the truck seemed to pull much better.
On a different note, the Amsoil dry air filter came last night, so hopefully I'll have a few free minutes this weekend to swap it in and take some pics (if I can remember to 1)charge the digital camera and 2) bring it with me when I go to work on the truck lol. The filter looks nice....looks like a blue K&N or Volant filter, only without the oily residue

Your truck must really respond well to mods...I did basically the same thing and all I got was noise lol (I do like noise though). I did my FIPK one day after work, thought I felt something, and eventually realized it was just me punching the go pedal more to hear the sound of the FIPK. My mileage decreased since I was getting on it so much more.

i just used a flat k&n filter, cut a hole in the front and bottom of my box. and bought the airaid intake tube. 100 for the tube and 35 for the filter. it was better than using a open element with a heat plate around it IMO. and not as noisy.

With my mods in my sig below I can get 20-21 mpg on the highway driving 70 MPH. The pulley, tune and e-fans helped out the most. It also doesn't hurt that I run 3.42.I didn't notice much at all from the intake and it fell off alot (K&N FIPK). So now I just use a K&N filter and Air Raid tube.
