Default CAI thoughts?
What's everyone's thoughts on a CAI? Worth the money or not? I do have custom tunes from 5 star. I was just wondering if I'd actually feel a difference?

No not exactly true. It will add ONE WHOLE HP for about $300 bucks even though it'll make your truck sound like it increased 100 HP lol

Does it give you HP, ehh probably not enough to tell.

Do you want to hear the sweet song of your turbo's...then buy it.

Don't forget to take the silencers out before you install it.

Most honest answer I've seen. I added one to my old Silverado for the exact same reason. I want my F150 quiet so I'm not interested this go around.

The ecoboost intake is not the loud obnoxious intake, it sounds like a hoover vacuum and the the psssst of the vent.
