Welcome to the site... but try searching first, there is exhaustive discussion on this issue.

my personal feeling is that even if it gets you an extra 10-20 hp, it's not worth it as, with a vehicle of the X's weight, you'll never feel it.

i have installed a cheaper AFE intake, however, and it DOES provide me with noticibly higher -- albeit slightly -- gas mileage: instead of about 16-17 at 80 mph, i now get around 18-20. makes difference during the course of a long drive!!
