Anyone use a drop-in filter versus a full blown CAI?

With that set up you'll notice a difference it puts less stress on the engine. It will let it breathe easy.I'm thinking about going with the Magnaflow B2 setup and adding an AFE Stage 2. Both together would be around $560 without any discounting. Can get both for far less than the cost of the full cat-back itself and I don't think I'll notice any difference in performance. Thoughts?

My question back is. What is your plan in the end?
If you want some rumble and growl with some gain of efficiency go with that set up.
I still believe at stock tune parameters, and not sure what your plans are for the future the truck.........
simple b2 muffler replacement and charcoal filter removal w/high flow drop in filter will be the best bang for buck. Still active the efficiency and growl your looking for. And still allows to easily keep upgrading or back to stock with no major money lost.
Aem makes a dry drop in I'd go with that.Which high flow drop-in would you suggest?

I'd say there all fairly the same. I just mentioned the dry one for less upkeep. I personally bought the Spectre drop in filter before I got my aFe magnum intake. It worked great no complaints it's only like $26 on eBay too!I’m not up on the differences in the filters. Are all the drop in high flows roughly the same? Is it just a matter of dry vs oiled. Not sure how much thought I should be putting into it.
