Hey guys.
Just looking for advice on cold air intakes for my 02 1500 5.9v8.
Which one offers the best perormance gains if any, and are the BCP ones you can get on ebay for $150ish Canadian any good as a cheap alternative?
Thanks

Most cold air intakes don't give much performance gains. They mostly dress up an engine and add sound.

If it does not have an airbox of some sort, just a tube and open element filter), it is just gonna draw hot underhood air in, not cold air. I just put a k&n drop in in my 03 5.9 1500.

Airaid makes a nice one for your truck. I had one on my '99 with the 5.2L and it gave me a bit better throttle response. Didn't feel much in the way of MPG or performance improvements, however.
