Got an afe stage 2 CAI. Any have the charge pipe installed if so pros and cons. And is it worth it. Thanks in advance.

 

I doubt there is enough/any benefit to justify $700 worth of charge pipes. But there really wasnt any benefit to the CAI either so . . . .

If I were you, I would go intercooler long before any CAI or charge pipe mods. Just dont get the AFE, mine has been less than impressive.

Not only that but I think another company is making the charge pipes for half the price. I can't remember who it is.

 

Ok. Yeah I've looked around you can definitely go cheaper. I'm new to the EcoBoost. For now i have a tuner CAI. And off road pipes and a throttle sensitivity booster. I appreciate the feedback.

 

If you have a tuner, why do you have a throttle sensitivity booster? What tuner do you have?

No, charge pipes won't gain you anything. What you should be doing is replacing the intercooler.

 

I had the sensitivity booster first just never took it off. I have a SCT livewire ts+

 

Generally the order should go:

1. Tune
2. Intercooler
3. Downpipes
4. Turbo upgrades
5. Whatever else you feel like spending money on.

Some people might feel a little different on the order but that its pretty close to what most would recommend. I guess you could throw in e50/e85 tune in there somewhere too if you have a 2017+ 3.5 or 2018+ 2.7.

 

Are you on a custom tune or are you using the canned tunes that came with the Livewire?

What year truck and engine do you have?

 

2013 limited EcoBoost i have 3 custom tunes from 5 star 87 economy 91 performance/tow 93 performance

 

the gen2 3.5 has some inlet pipes made by AMS that help spool up, but that's about it.

 

Any recommendations for intercooler looking at ATP or a mishimoto
