Anyone installed any of these on a 2011 screw 4x4 5.0. Curious to the outcome and the gains. Recommended brands? Filters etc?? Thanks guys. Stephen

if you get a CAI, I'd suggest one that has common tunes for programmers. If you eventually purchase all the mods you listed, a programmer is in your future. The appropriate tune to bring all those elements together is the next inevitable step. Make sure they'll work together prior to purchase.

I don't think you'd see much in gains without a tuner. If you have those mods get an SSI tune. I have one for my 5.0 and dude you will be grinning from ear to ear! These tunes are no joke! They are the best.

TB spacer is an expensive paper weight, don't get it.

An exhaust won't do much unless you get ride of the stock Y-pipe. The stock system is a straight through design already. Get headers though and you'll notice a nice increase in power, especially above 3500rpm.

Intake is worth very little but the higher you rev it the more you can gain which requires a tune. Some people complain of too much noise with an intake or water soaking the filter when it rains. I got a bully dog which has a cover to keep the rain out. In fact I will be selling mine in about week if you're interested.

A tune is the best way to go.

Intake, Exhaust and TB spacer don't really gain you much power. As it was said a tune is the best bang for the buck.

I have a Airaid JR intake. It was so loud I had to remove the Airaid filter and put the Ford filter back in. Only reason I bought an intake was it will work with the Mustang intake cover. Other than that I woulda stayed stock.
