@kilroy173 @Chaosseat - Where did y'all end up ordering yours? I think I'll be pulling the trigger but want to call in advance to confirm stock. Thanks in advance!

Got mine in on Sunday, just finished up the install!

Do you know if they shipped yours with the "upgraded" rubber seal?

Yes, same deal.

I see there are two types. The big HD one and a regular one with an exposed filter element.
The big HD one has a noted power gain while the other one doesn't. I don't really care about the power that much just want to hisssss if possible

Looking forward to knowing where these are in stock..thx!

Called AFE, they have a batch of 25 coming in Friday which are all spoken for on backorders. Another batch of 25 is being produced and anticipated to arrive end of Feb. She thinks there is space on that order but couldn't confirm.

Called S&B, they said they are two weeks out from general availability.

Sounds like after backorders are full-filled in the coming weeks, things should be cleared up for regular orders from both although S&B didn't give me any idea how many they'll have ready to ship once available.

I actually got a used one directly from AFE. I live close by to their offices and they were selling a used one on offer up that they had previously used for testing. It's practically brand new except it still has the old rubber hood seal that people have been complaining about, which I didn't plan on using anyways. I plan on installing it tomorrow.

I'm also thinking about waiting until I get the pro dry filter and the pre-filter to install it as it came with the oiled one. My question is though, AFE states that the oiled Pro 10R has ten layers of filtering, while the Pro Dry S only has three. I've heard about the oiled filters possibly causing issues but wondering if the dry filter would be worse since it only has three layers as opposed to ten. Thoughts?

I really like the idea of this intake as well. I am a little worried about water though. Do you think it's as secure as the stock intake? In terms of keeping water out?

I ordered one almost 6 weeks ago. As of early this week, they're still telling me "10 to 12 weeks" before shipment. When I say "they're", I'm talking about the AFE representatives themselves. They claim that their suppliers can't get them the parts they need to build the kits.

So, who knows if I'll ever actually get to review it. But if they send me what I ordered which is the AFE Momentum HD CAI with DryFlow filter, I'll post up a review on my YouTube channel.

For what it's worth, they've got a dyno sheet showing 39 lb/ft of torque gained at the rear wheels with the CAI which, if true, is pretty amazing. I'm already running the MBRP cat-back exhaust, so this AFE intake combined with the Banks tuner would make this truck a beast. Well over 500 lb/ft of torque in a 5,200 lb. truck.. whoa!

I won't know for sure until I install it but unlike the factory intake, there is no air inlet from the bottom just the top of the airbox.

Let us know. Very curious!

Had it on backorder from AFE since September last year.

I ordered the ProGuard 7 option with the Yellow filter, that has the dyno chart pictured on their site. The sound is defiantly more noticeable on the inside.

Got an email last night from them that my back order was pushed back to late February/early March. Since they actually reached out, hoping there is some validity to this as I‘ve gotten the same ”three more weeks” timeline every time I’ve called in the last 5 months.

Here's a few seconds idling with the hood closed, it sounds the same to me. I only notice the noise difference while driving...

Driving video would be awesome
