Hey Leighzer where did you get those steps. They look bad a** on your truck. Do they scratch up like the factory ones?z I think my kids and wife step on mine and twist on purpose. Had my truck 7 months and the plastic treads on mine are scratched all to hell. I'm looking to replace them and yours look awesome.

Howdy all!
I'm new to the forums, literally to forums all together, not just this one (so excuse me if I do something 'newbish'), and although I've had my truck for about 6 months now, 2012 Scab 5.0L Luxury, the 'new' feel is starting to wear off, even more. While I've done some cosmetic work *cue pictures* I yearn for a little more. I don't want my mileage to plummet [even more] so I only want to do fairly minor, (if possible) irreversible modifications. Searching through the GrandWest catalogue, I found the '57 Series' K&N OEM intake replacement kit (apparently a 12HP gain). I am concerned of my warranty, although I do have some leeway, being a Salesman at a Ford dealership, it doesn't mean immunity. Does any one have experience with an, or this particular intake system in the 5.0L's? I'm getting a chip as well, I've read 5 Star has had exceptional results with the the new Ford power-trains, but the combination of a new intake and chip seems sketchy to say the least, experience and opinions on chips/programmers and combinations of air intakes would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
