I was wondering if you would be able to offer some sort of discount for the inconvenience of the wait and for those who are willing to order one even though it will be on back order??

Thanks

Thank you very much for the reply my friend. I truly look forward to ordering and receiving the stage 2 intake for my ecoboost. Is it possible that you can tell me where is the best place to order from that would have the best chance of actually having them in stock? Like is said before, I am ready to order asap. Thanks.

Cheers!

Im planning on getting me one of these intakes as well and have a question.. how much of a difference will the dry one vs the regular really make? You only have to clean it about every oil change correct? would the dry effect power?

I've got a triple dog gt tuner and I plan on getting the solo performance exhaust .. Do yall think it's really worth dropping another $400 on a CAI

abouzahrr you will get tons of opinions on this...I for one have an opinion and I think I CAI could be a great little piece for this truck..now I say think bc I havent tried one out yet, however I do like this AFE Stage 2.

Speaking from experience I had a Mazdaspeed 6, very different type of vehicle but similar engine, it was a 4 cylinder Direct Injection turbocharged car....and I put a CAI on it, and it really opened up the car...it seems to run out of steam in upper rpms, and once I put the intake on it had a little more pep all the way thru...Having had several turbo cars, we all no the better they breathe, the better they respond. So throw in intake on with an exhaust and tune, and you will be doing quite well Im sure of it. I eventually would like to get all three as well as time and $$$ permits.

The Pro 5R air filter flows about 8-10% better than the dry. That variation doesn't show up on the dyno. Both filters are washable and reusable. Don't clean them too often. I recommend cleaning every 20-30k. The trick to knowing if the filter is clogged is to look at your filter and if you still see the wire mesh on the outside of the filter, it is not too dirty. Either way the filter can far outflow the capacity of the tubes so you don't need to clean every oil change. That frequency will actually erode the filter more quickly.

We are shipping about 75 units this week and another 250 units next week. These will have an updated coupler as well as a second coupler in the box.
