Do some searching and reading. Not much to gain but noise. Ford did a good job, you already have a very good CAI that was installed at the factory.

Spend your money on a tune.

I am very happy with the 5Star. Lots of posts on that.

5 star, livernois, Diablo Intune, MHP, SCT (no custom tune), I'm sure there's more.

From 5 stars dyno graphs, there is a gain with the afe stage 2 intake with tune, vs tune with stock intake.

14.2 hp
here is a link to the graph

also here the the graph with the intake and tune vs stock
