I have a 2014 FX4 5.0 i'm looking to get an air intake system
Just wanting to know what everybody else is using.
I'm looking at the spectra,banks ram air and the S&B.

i went with SB. i had a KN on my 05 f250 Powerstroke and i hated it. so i bought an SB and i loved it so much i had to get one for my 13' 5.0L. the build quality and materials used is pretty top notch, install is easy, and looks/performs great. you will not be disappointed.

The factory intake is uber.

Your factory one works as good as any aftermarket. Aftermarket does nothing but give you a little more noise. Save the money for a different mod.

unless your running a tune? CAI is a waste of money

As Sock Puppet and funmoneypit150 noted .....

OEM, stock .....

• already CAI.
  .
• CFM exceeds engine requirements/needs. *UNLESS über engine modifications are done.
  .
• any increase in air flow is at the expense of filtration.
  .
• no contaminating the MAF sensor with oil. *Which reduces performance and MPG.
  .
• there are NO performance and/or MPG gains with aftermarket air intake systems. *If you're looking for performance and/or possible MPG gains, put your $$$$$ towards a tuner+tune(s).

Otherwise - Get an aftermarket air intake ...

• for the engine bay cosmetics.
  .
• for the increase in growl.

Do it for any other reason and you're wasting your $$$$$

I would have to agree. A buddy of mine just picked up a 2012 screw. I told him to save the money on the intake and get a tune from one of the quality vendors. Better bang for your buck....

I have a sct tuner already

Get some custom tunes for it then.

I just got my custom tunes from 5 star, but they told me they do see gains when they use intakes. So are there performance gains or not? However, I do not plan on buying a intake. Just curious cuz I feel like I see so many different opinions on these. Regarding the oil on the maf then why doesn't someone just buy a dry filter instead of oiled?
