Would you please post some pictures of how you did yours? I plan on keeping the stock airbox and it has a drop in K&N right now. I've just been looking for a good intermediate tube. The new MAF setup is hard to work around. If you've found a way around it, I'd love to see it.
The pics below is from when i was fitting it up and checking the connections so not all the bands are on and the breather hose is not drilled and hooked up to the tube.
I will take lots more pics and do a small write up when I get my new parts and get it all cleaned up

Most likely for comfort, which is another function. There is hardly a noticeable difference in outside appearance. Another thing... the only thing you ever need to show anyone is your tail lights. Popping hoods is for ricers and Lightnings that need to cool down.

In the stock intake tube there is a small hose that is plugged into it from the intake. If it is not plugged in, there is a chance that that it will throw lean codes. My 08 didn't throw them, but my 2010 did. The new tube needs to be tapped for that hose somehow.

Never mind I did have a pic. I had some clear vinyl tubing from another project already that was the right diameter so I just used that and a Hose Barb A-201B (5/16" Barb, 1/4" MIP) and a couple small hose clamps.

I did an Airaid M.I.T. and an Airaid Synthamax dry drop-in. About $150 if you get both together as an Airaid Jr kit, looks clean, installs easily, and flows more air than stock.

I'm new on this site but have been checking it out for a while. I have a S&B intake on my 08 SD. I do a lot of diesel performance in my shop and have had good luck with S&B's. I decided to try one out. Fitment was very good and overall looks are good as well. S&B uses 8 layers of cotton on their filters while K&N's use 4-6 depending on application. I haven't seen anybody on here with this setup so I thought I would throw it out there. They retail for $270.
