Default AFE Instake install Ecoboost

Hey guys. I thought I'd post up my install for my AFE intake. It was very easy and took only 15 mins or so. Quality seems great and makes the turbos more noticeable. I feel it has helped with the turbo lag (the little that was there). Very happy with it too.

So here is some pics. I also have a youtube video if anyone wants.

Looks good, I bet your right foot is more busy so you can hear that swooshing sound!

They use both. You can buy the pro 5 dry filter they sell or pro 5r which is the oiled and both are great. I hear the oiled has better flow and still fantastic filtering. The guys at AFE were great with explaining it all to me and said there is no way it can affect your warranty and call them for help if a dealer ever tries to pull that crap. I don't think they will but it's nice to have that level of support.
