I have a 2006 F350 I've been looking at Banks 6 guns. Never mod any vehicles but figured I'm going to keep this one for a while so going to add a little bit of umph to it.
Read on there that high EGT causes the most deaths in diesels so any thing to get air flowing is a great thing. I'd love to see how this works out for you!

The oiled air filters kill the turbo impellers.

I tried, through recommendation of a friend, the Amsoil air filter. I can't say I noticed anything. But after I did it my wife asked what I had done cause the truck was more live and the turbo was screaming. JMO But we know what opinions are like

I had an Air Aid on my 2006 6.0 with a Bullydog and a 4" exhaust. 60k miles and it ran flawlessly..... except an alternator crapping out, which i found was pretty common thing.... if you're traveling, i highly suggest having an extra. mine crapped out with the Skater behind it --- not fun going down the highway at night with the juice trickling out!

The stock air filter on a 6.0 is more than adequate, you gain nothign by putting a K&N on a 6.0. save your turbop and just run it. Maybe do a cat back exhaust but I would leave it alone.
