Soooo, out of boredom I ordered an AFE magnum dry a few weeks ago. I installed it yesterday.
Here's what I have observed so far.
Decent growl on heavy acceleration. Which I always enjoy. Wish it was louder TBH, it is much louder with thw top off the filter, but you're drawing warm engine bay air in...
So far I have gained 2.5 average MPG around town in about 50 miles of driving. That includes a few heavy foot accelerations I normally wouldn't do.
Butt dyno didn't notice any dramatic gains, nor did I expect any really.
So as far as "waste of money" it depends on what your goals are. Will I gain back the $320 I spent on the intake with what I spend on gas. Eventually if this MPG gain continues. My back of the napkin math says like 45 tanks of gas (I could be wrong here IDK). Or with an avg of 12k miles per year a little under 2 years.
If your goal is noticeable power gains probably a waste of money.
Just my $.02 Cheers!
