AFe vs S&B

[UNBROKEN]

Same car…both intakes…in case anyone is trying to choose between the two and is curious. The S&B in my opinion is better built with better components all around plus its larger and uses larger filters.

I love the look of the S&B!

I concur, based on the data, the s&b is marginally better for wise.

I have always planned to get the S&B as I've run it on past vehicles but damn there will will some great deals on used AFe's. lol

Nice! Also just curious. What is that east/west running raw pipe north of the stabilizer bar?

Hot side piping from FenFab

S&B looks easier to install and looks nicer as well.

I bet it also makes more noise as well, thats a plus on my book

They both install identical and neither one makes any noise.

Considered getting the hot side done from Fenfab since I’ve already done cold side. Question is, is it worth the $500+? Looking for an opinion on it.

If you expect to feel it…you won’t. I asked Brett to build that style just for the looks alone…that was worth the cost to me.

So no benefits from it, just cosmetic? Looks great but if no benefits then I just don’t know about that lol

I wouldn’t say no benefits. Just another piece to the larger puzzle.

I appreciate this post. I'm in between the AFE and S&B and now I'm leaning towards S&B. I do think it looks better also... BTW your ST build is awesome!

Is there any value to a mod like this if I don't plan on any other performance upgrades? The only thing I have done to mine is swapped out the mufflers/tips. Dont plan on doing a tune or intercooler or anything like that.

Only visually. You might pick up a few ponies, but peak power will remain the same.

If you’re not going to do any other mods you should skip the intake. But I highly highly recommend you atleast do an intercooler whether you want to tune or not. A catch can would also be a very good mod to have.

Intercooler and catch can are a must on these vehicles. An aftermarket intercooler is about 4 times the size of the stock! Huge bottle neck there. Also causes heat soak easily.
