Default Cold Air Intake

I have a 2011 Ford F-150 Lariat and have been thinking about a cold air intake. Has anyone installed one or have advice on them? Or is it just a waste of money ?

Waste of money.

The factory intake is adequate until you add superchargers, etc.

Spend the $300 on something else. Thats almost enough for a good tuner. Thats my $.02

I bought a Airraid for my '11 Ecoboost. It is sitting in a box on the shelf as listening to the sound from the turbo popping annoyed me.
