S&b cai

I was looking through an S&B booklet the other day. They do have them for the 3.0 PS. I’ve never tried a CAI before. I’ve read they are not worth it for what you pay on stock machines. Might sound louder and definitely would look sharp under the hood.

Yes I also know CAI are for looks and noise only unless you are running big HP numbers. For $299 if it makes my F150 sound like a 6.0 turbo going down the road I may get one. On the other hand I may not, just talking out loud right now.

I get it and feel the same. I’m into a bit more intake noise for sure. Here in the great white north the kit is pushing the $600 mark. First comes the Undercover tonneau cover.

I am leaving the stock unit, air flows in nicely and unrestricted. Where I live, I need all the protection the factory pleated filter can offer as fine powder dust is my enemy.

I got this S&B intake and will post some pics soon. It is very high quality and looks nice. I noticed a little more intake howl and possibly a little louder turbo noise, but not much. It breathes a little better with a slight increase in throttle response at higher rpms. I feel its worth the 299 delivered price. Most impressed with the fitment of the air box and the quality feel of the parts.

Nice man!!!

Do they have a non-oiled one? I may get that.

Was the install fairly simple and straight forward?

Yeah, and looks great by the way.....

Here is install video

Thanks. The installation was easy. Great instructions and video. They do have a paper filter option. I think it's the same price.

They do have a paper filter option. I just installed it. Bummed it doesn’t give any discernible noise from the turbo like I was hoping!
