Default Cold air intake kits

Anyone out there put on a cold air intake and if so then Any difference in horse power or gas mileage? I just bought a Banks for my 2013 F150 with the eccoboost engine.

No difference - Your only gain is that you most likely now have a washable reusable air filter

Please post how you like the Banks System. I know that most people seem to say that there is no improvement on most systems. Have also been considering this same system for my '13 SCrew.

I drove up to Phoenix and back the other day and before the CAI, I averaged about 19.5 MPG and this time I checked my mileage it was 21.9 MPG that was all highway driving and our speed limit is 75 MPH, so it did improve a little bit. The good thing about it was that my Ford is a banks authorized dealer, so no problem with the CAI and the factory warranty.
I also put a hypertech tuner on it, so I figure the factory HP of 365 is probably running about 400 now because of the CAI, tuner, and the maga flow exhaust.

Waste of $$ as your truck came from the factory with a built in CAI.

CAI is a waste for 5.0 guys, not EB guys.
