Default Spectrum CAI??

I to own a 2006 f150 5.4 screw. Just installed Flowmasters 40 series with 4"rolled tips, and now I am considering a Cold Air Intake System. So far the Spectra seems to be the best BANG for the buck. WHATAYATHINK???? looking at mpg and hp

I gotta vote thumbs down. It looks to be lacking in the quality craftmanship area.

I 2nd the thumbs down. Go with Volant, AFE, K$N or one of those guys. I have a volant on mine. Noticable throttle response, and now with CAI, Tuner, and Exaust,, I am not noticing about 1.5 better MPG's.

It's been showing up on all the Saturday/Sunday Speed channel auto shows lately; I'm guessing they have a large advertising budget to get their name out there. I've seen this kit on the TRUCKS!, 4x4, and 3 or 4 other TV shows.

Spectra was always the cheaper type aftermarket auto kits, so I'm guessing they are trying to step up.

To early to tell I'd think.
