I installed a Banks ram air intake with the oiled filter this morning. Took less than an hour and installed nicely. I purchased it from Stage 3 on sale and it was delivered the next day! Thanks Stage 3! I also had a custom 87 tune emailed from mpt. My only other performance mods are a flowmaster super 44 muffler I welded in. The tune installed great and she fired up a purred like a kitten. I took it out for a shakedown run and wow, I now have the 5.0 I expected. The off idle throttle is responsive and with the flowmaster and ram air, roll-ons are throaty and authoritative. With the sale price on the Banks, the cost is right there with k&n and others. I've had a few k&n intakes and wanted something different this time. Glad I did. After seeing the quality components of the Banks, I'm surprised more people haven't tried them.
I've got the Banks installed in my '14 5.0 and love it

Default AFE Magnum Force Stage 2 - Dry

I just installed the AFE Magnum Force Stage 2 - Dry on my '15 - 3.5L Ecoboost the other day. It sounds pretty good, although much louder than stock. It gets a little raspy when the turbos hit around 10psi but overall good sounding. I think it it looks great in the engine bay!

I have a cold air intake from Roush for my 2018 F-150 3.5EB. To be honest, I am not impressed with this kit at all. Parts were made of poor quality. There were a lot of rough machining marks inside the parts included, and screw holes did not line up with my kit. I made it work but this kit in no way is worth 400+

Should I pull the trigger on the Airaid intake for my 2018 3.5 eco OR Flow Masters Intake?

I have an '18 2.7L eco and I am on the fence as to whether I should stay stock with a drop in filter, or spend the $200+ for a K&N CAI.

I'm not tuning this truck, and i'm probably not even going to add an exhaust (I actually like the quietness).

So community...whatta ya think?
