S&B Cold air Intake for Duramax L5P

[Irving]

Just installed an S&B cold air intake #75-5103D with the (white) Dry extendable filter. Got it on amazon for 399$ same price as the S&B website , but shipping took 2 days with prime , S&B wanted 40$ to ship it standard. Installation was easy , and it looks really nice under the hood in my opinion, but better yet I can definitely hear the turbo whistle even more than stock. I still have the DPF and the catalytic behind the turbo so its not a nice full flowing whistle , but its loud enough to make me smile lol. Just wanted to create this thread for those with a Duramax (L5P) that were wondering on this CAI. I recommend It, I know is pricey , but most mods to these truck are. LMK if you have any questions

I've got the same one. Was hoping for more with the turbo whistle. Can't hear it at all unless the windows are down. And I don't roll like that.

I would if only it wasn't so freaking expensive. I did my Ram for $1800 all in. It's probably $4-5k for these trucks

These S&B intakes look nice on our trucks; a friend of mine with a 2017 F250 just installed one on his, and said the same thing about the turbo whistle. I don’t think the modern diesels will whistle without a lot of cash thrown at ‘em. 
 

Besides a lower price point, is there any reason to get the S&B over the Banks? I’ve got to think any HP/torque difference between them would be negligible.

Yes you are right the only way is to put a ton of money , but i think its worth it lol. I went with the s&b because it looks nicer imo than the banks and because the banks you have to take out the box to replace the filter , on the s&b you dont , its all personal preference, but idk if they are getting better numbers
