S&B cold air intake systems are a premium upgrade for truck and SUV owners who want to improve engine performance and protect their engine with superior filtration. An S&B intake replaces your vehicle’s restrictive factory air box and paper filter with a high-flow intake tube and a massive air filter, often enclosed in a custom air box that seals to the hood. The result is a supply of cooler, denser air to your engine, which can boost horsepower, torque, and throttle response – a benefit you’ll feel whether you’re accelerating onto a highway or towing a trailer up a grade. S&B is a brand highly respected in the automotive community, especially among diesel truck enthusiasts, for its commitment to quality and rigorous testing. Their intake kits are known for featuring OEM-level fit and finish; they come with all needed mounting hardware, silicone couplers (which are better at handling heat and won’t crack like cheaper rubber), and often a signature clear lid on the airbox so you can easily inspect the filter. The filters themselves are state-of-the-art, available in cleanable/reusable cotton gauze or high-efficiency dry media, both of which are engineered to trap a higher percentage of dirt and fine particles while still flowing much more air than stock. Why choose an S&B intake for your truck/SUV: - Proven performance gains: S&B publishes airflow data and ISO 5011 filtration test results for their products. You can expect noticeable improvements in throttle response and typically a modest horsepower gain. Many users also report a slight improvement in fuel economy under normal driving, thanks to the engine breathing easier - Broad vehicle compatibility: S&B produces intakes for a wide range of popular vehicles. This includes diesel giants like the Ford PowerStroke, Chevy/GMC Duramax, and Ram Cummins engines (where cooler air and better filtration are especially beneficial for towing and longevity), as well as gas trucks like the F-150, Silverado, Sierra, Tacoma, and even performance SUVs and Jeeps. Each kit is custom-designed to bolt into factory locations, making installation straightforward - Enhanced engine sound: While not as loud as some open-element filters, an S&B intake will often give your vehicle a more pronounced and satisfying intake growl when you get on the throttle. It’s a subtle change during normal driving, but when you accelerate, you’ll hear a deeper engine sound that lets you know air is flowing more freely Beyond the raw numbers, upgrading to an S&B intake is about confidence. You’re not just adding power – you’re also improving filtration, which means your engine is protected from harmful debris even better than with the stock setup. This is crucial if you drive in dusty or sandy conditions or if you keep your vehicle for the long haul.
