Here ya go. I took 2 videos for you. One with the windows open and then another with the windows closed. I really can't hear a difference, but that's just me. Let me know what you think.

Who did the dyno test and were you there? What changed between runs? Need to know what the stock airbox does.

Why does every "note" say OE intake? I'd have to say all of those runs are within the realm of statistical differences between runs and don't show anything substantive. I'm not suggesting that the intake might not allow more airflow, but that dyno doesn't show anything. Any real changes should be visible in the horsepower numbers over say 4k rpm due to mass flow. And I don't see that even if the note section is wrong.

It was late last night when I read this Dyno sheet and it doesn't zoom well with my old eyes. I thought for sure I was reading it wrong or there must be a second one coming. I was really waiting for someone else to see what I was seeing.

That said, I think it has been shown time and again that Ford does a pretty good job of making a CAI that is able to support what a stock engine needs.

People can bitch and moan about the hp improvements or lack thereof all they want…I’m
buying one for the looks alone. Gotta start making it to where it’s not embarrassing to open the hood around other car people.

I see zero problems in buying one for its looks. I'd do that too but the peephole freaks me out on any of the aftermarket CAI's. I don't want to look through the clear plastic and see filters.

Hell…paint it or wrap it body color for a little extra flair.

Or put a sticker/logo on it and tell the world it looks better.

I also have a 2015 F150 3.5L Eco. The CAI is pretty damn good and there was no reason except for eye candy. Ford does a damn good job with their intakes.

As far as looks. 584.00 is a lot for some eye candy. Another funny thing is one outfit that charges 589 wont ship to Ca.

I’ve easily spent 5 figures for eye candy under the hood on another project. Sub 600 is downright cheap. lol

I pulled this off the website. I guess I put the baseline dyno sheet up. Unfortunately I can't find the one they sent me along with the baseline.

My understanding is that these should start making their way out within the next two weeks.
