Just put this Roush CAI on and took it for a cruise. Combined with my Flo Pro exhaust (true dual pipes) it makes one of a noise and I love it!!!! It is so deep and the whine at cruising speeds isn't any worse than before but when you wanna wake up all 8 cylinders, IT SCREAMS!!!!
Filter is really dirty, trust me I know, its the first thing I'm cleaning this weekend when I detail my truck.
I had a mechanic friend of mine install it so I can't speak to that aspect of it but I'm going to be sending it back in the next couple days. Long and short, it makes a high pitch "whistle" that sounds like a "squeek" at different rpm ranges. I had a friend pedal the throttle and it's coming from the filter element. Checked all the clamps and even rotated the filter element with no improvement.
Some posts I did read on here gave me the "love it or leave it option" and I can honestly say I can't live with it. Just my $ .02.
I haven't read the whole thread but just posting this up here for anyone interested. I bought a Summit (K & N) CAI for my 2006 F150 FX4 with 5.4 Triton and previously installed Flowmaster exhaust (also from Summit Racing which I love). This is the kit I purchased: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...2/applications I had a mechanic friend of mine install it so I can't speak to that aspect of it but I'm going to be sending it back in the next couple days.

Have you checked all the connections from throttle body to filter? You might have a small leak or your MAF (mass air flow) sensor might be off whack.
Not at the moment but I can get one up over the weekend for you. But i just installed my hypertech max programmer a couple of days ago as well. So been wanting to do a vid. I'll post one for you over the weekend though start up, rev, and acceleration.
