Default Cold Air Intake, 2015 3.5 ECOBOOST, Whos got them? And What do you think?

Considering a K&N CAI for my 2015 3.5 Ecoboost.
I installed one on my 2015 Mustang GT, and didn't really notice much difference. (MPG or Performance)
What are you guys seeing with a CAI on the 3.5L Ecoboost?

Not worth it IMO. I think ford did the intake on these trucks quite well.

Stock on my 2012 EB F150.....couldn't get to Nashville on a single tank.
K&N on my 16 EB......now I can. Not sure if its that helping or engine improvement over the years but I like to drive fast and was getting good gas mile with the CAI installed.

And no, I don't have a bigger gas tank.

If you want to do something, just put a dry drop-in filter in the stock airbox. The OEM system is pretty good.

I had Dearborn Motorsports install their cold air intake, a CAT exhaust, their tuner and they dyno tuned the motor on my 2016 3.5 Lariat. It's now running almost 400 HP and in the stock setting gets 23-24 MPH at 70. I am extremely happy.

I couldn't get 23 mpg in my 2015 3.5 EB doing 60mph in an indoor track. I avg 15 doing 70mph with the cruise on. No lift, no big wheels. Pretty much stock.

I do believe that would be 95% tuner and tune, 3 1/2% exhaust, 1 1/2% CAI. KM
