Default AFE cold air intake vs regular
Does anyone have the dual cold air intake filters on their 2.7 EB? I'm debating weather or not to get on large filter or the AFE double filter.

Getting all the bolt ons then will complete it with a tune.

The factory intake is about as good as they get on the new F150s. About all you will gain is a sound factor.

Spend the money on a tune. For about the same price you can get actual performance increase with a tune. My understanding is that aftermarket intakes basically do nothing for performance.

Not true! You also get the looks... And maybe 1hp... And being $200-300 poorer... And.......... that's about it lol

I added an AFE intake on my 14 5.0 and will be adding one on my 15 EcoBoost. Not really any performance gain, especially not unless you're tuning it also, but I just did it/will do it because I like the sound and looks of them
