For anyone reading this, I did months of research reading forums and looking at dyno results. I've also worked for a company that sells this same stuff for 11 years. The factory air box has proven to produce more horsepower and torque than any of these aftermarket air boxes. The aftermarket ones are either open, letting hot air to be sucked in, or just simply don't create the right amount of air pressure. The Ford engineers did their job here. All of these intake kits are a waste of money except the larger diameter air intake tube by AirAid. It's the only company that currently makes one. You can also benefit from a high flow drop-in filter such as a K&N filter. But apparently it let's more gunk get in the engine than a dry filter so oil catch cans are recommended. You can probably pick up both for under $200.
@@dragoonTT I personally chose the echoboost over the GT for several reasons. I love the sound of a blow off valve, I get better gas mileage, my car insurance is much lower, and the GT is probably $5,000 or more expensive than an echoboost. And for around $2,000 (at least with my discount) I can buy enough mods to make my echoboost just as fast as a stock GT, and still have all the other listed benefits. Plus, I don't like V8 noise. But I'm sure there's more guys that agree with you than there are that agree with me.
@@drogon2988 To each his own. I’m a V8 fan but I did own a Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec with some good fast goodies, including a dank sounding blow-off valve. Car definitely needed more work as it was lethargic out of boost.
@@dragoonTT I don't blame you. It's a hell of a lot easier to make power out of a V8. I think it probably has to do with growing up and graduating when Fast and the Furious came out and everyone of my friends driving a Supra, RX7, MR2, Eclipse, Integra, Celica and so on in Denver. It was just what I grew up around so I think it just stuck with me in a way and I can't help it lol. I have thought about getting a GT I won't lie.
I have the Roush closed lid cold air intake and it works very well with the MAP street intercooler. The stock air box becomes a restriction when you start making 70 or more horse power, the reason is because the air has to make two 90 degree turns inside the air box, those two 90 degree turns create turbulence which is bad for air flow. Don't get sucked in by the you only need the stock air box crowd, if you do your research you can find cold air intakes that are superior to the stock air box. The Roush closed lid cold air intake is one of the better designs.
I’ve been trying to find an intake that would give me the most power tuned and I’ve been leaning towards Roush I’m just afraid that the closed lid box is too big and would make working on my engine hard(I’m super new to cars so I’m still learning a lot). I’m also wondering how much of a difference you noticed with the Roush and if your pro tuned or OTS.
@@OfficialStro I don't find the Roush CAI gets in the way of doing maintenance at all. I run the OTS Cobb tune. We have not had any issues with the Cobb tune.
@@drogon2988 My build is my build. If I wanna drop 400+ on a roush air box I will. If I wanna cheap out and get a air raid tube with my high performance filter I can do that. Everyone has they’re own desires for builds. Thanks for the opinion though!
Roush works with Ford as well as with other OEM manufactures and the Roush system is very well done and thought out. The Roush set up not only looks better but cleans up the tube to help the air flow.
Does it change the performance of the CAI if I go with black instead of silver. I know black things heat soak more so if I’m trying to get every little bit of performance should I go with silver?
No, there will be no difference in performance from black to silver or any color for that matter! Black absorbs more energy than other colors from photons (light), the heat source in an engine bay is not from light.
Lol. Cold air intake scam. Tell me, what benefit does a turbo engine get from installing a supposed cold air intake? What does that Cold soon to be hot air go through before it reaches the intercooler and throttle body? That’s right, exhaust heated turbos. So again, how does cold air pre turbo benefit a turbo charged engine? You’d be better off installing a high volume intake and an upgraded intercooler and BOV. FYI. On my 17 2.7 F150 I had a AFE intake, mishimoto intercooler, BBK throttle body, AFE hot and cold side tubing, MSD blaster coils, Borla attak exhaust with various 5 star tunes. I watched my mileage go from about 21 in town to around 17/18 with the factory tune, and even lower with the 87 perf, 93 perf/tow and hitting about 15 mpg with the all out 93 performance tune that increased the boost from 14 psi to 22 psi. So when these rattlesnake salesmen try to tell you that you’ll get better mileage and power over stock with exhaust and “CAI” , you may want to do some research Brie you start dropping $$ only to spend more $$ on fuel for modest gains. I dropped at least 4 or 5 k on my truck, and yes, it did wake it up with the tunes and intercooler and throttle body, but it also made my mileage go down, even after I flashed it back to stock. There’s Always a trade off. Also, when performance goes up, reliability goes down. 22 psi of boost is a lot of boost compared to 14 psi Ford set from the factory. That engine has a lot of blow by as the result of it, that was verified by the amount of it that ended up in my catch can and intercooler every month. Boost goes up, so does blow by, and that shit lowers your octane rating, even with a catch can(it only collects the liquids and not the engine temp vapors that go back into your throttle body). Buyer beware

This. Personally I’d continue to daily the Ecoboost and save mod money for a 5.0 upgrade in the future.

Was kinda thinking the same lol
Just installed it on mine, it was pretty easy. I don’t notice any performance gains but it is loud and fun for sure. Plan to keep it !
Right on!

I was gonna say i dont even see the Roush listed here somehow? It's closed lid design alone seems better than any other

@@mustangecoboosthpp3869 ok sounds good thanks I think I’ll go with the Roush intake then with a CVFab intercooler and PD Tune
I have the Roush CAI and I love it!
Did you actually get more HP and TQ? I've read many reviews saying it only sounds good and better throttle response
Man I wish you guys still sold the turbo kits it would look so good under my Ecoboost engine bay
I got the roush because ive seen the best hp gains with it online and it looks amazing
That boost gauge is responding really well to the COBB. Excited to put a new air box in my EB.
Huge waste of money. Do your homework.

Isnt Roush the most expensive but also the best CAI?
Roush works with Ford as well as with other OEM manufactures and the Roush system is very well done and thought out. The Roush set up not only looks better but cleans up the tube to help the air flow.
That's what I got I love it and seen best numbers on it
I want the mishimoto intake with the tomei exhaust
Great video! Can you do a video on best suspension?
Great video I installed the injen technology it is a closed box.
Would this fit right hand drive vehicle

Won’t stainless pipes get hot and lower IATs ?
Nice what you recomend
Which one is the loudest
What’s the exhaust setup on that first mustang
Does it change the performance of the CAI if I go with black instead of silver. I know black things heat soak more so if I’m trying to get every little bit of performance should I go with silver?

Yeah, you missed the Roush cold air intake, but, it's $400.
About to cash out on one of those, are they worth it?
@@lukeworrell4916 The ROUSH COLD AIR IS WORTH IT. BUT I BOUGHT BEFORE ALL THESE PRICE INCREASES. At start up u can hear the air being sucked in.
@@lukeworrell4916 just ordered mine, a vendor on amazon actually has a few of them for $360 which is a steal, they go for like $450 now
Missed the C&L CAI
Soooooo, none of them make any power and probably lose power? Noted, I'll keep my stock cold air intake.
I'd like to see some Ford Ranger parts
