This came up on my local craigslist for $200. Wondering if it is any good? If I go with a magnuson supercharger some day, will this still fit? Would it work very well with the SC?

I have experience with the AFE set up. Its a huge upgrade in sound, but not much else, I dyno'd before and after and didn't get a huge boost.

Your truck will sound great tho.

Thanks for the info, think I'll pass then. I actually love how quiet my Jeep is, I prefer stealth if possible ;-)

It will lighten your gas pedal too.

I like the banks stuff.

X2 on banks. Their equipment does seem to be high quality, You should PM ross and see if he has a friend. Might be able to get you a price for new gear that is close to the used gear you are talking about.

but.....if the used stuff is in excellent shape, might not be worth the trouble.
