AFE Cold Air Intake installed on 2024 Ranger Raptor

[Appleman1le]

I went for the Dry Filter. It sounds good, sounds a lot more throaty if that makes since. I gives it deep sound to the acceleration. It has been raining everyday in San Diego so I cant really get after it but I would say it "feels" a lot more responsive. I am glad i bought it.

do you hear the turbos spooling up now?

Since the release of the Gen 5 CAI has been a controversial subject, more so then than now. Early on there was an ex-Ford engineer that warned against it and severely doubted any performance or mileage benefits. I wouldn't buy for sound alone and after tune and all exterior mods I am only considering the back section of the new Borla exhaust. BUT I will be following this thread. If loos counted that one is nice as I've seen.....but at about 3K miles I don't think I've even had my hood up

I have a AFE intake and a blow off valve so there is lot going on under the hood. Yes you can here the turbos but now you hear the intake sucking up California's precious ozone.

have you tried it with the lid off?

I have not. Honestly I didn't even think of that. It came with the lid on and I never took it off.

The time has finally come! My AFE Intake was delivered and now installed!

Holy shit it actually exists lol. Any plans to get it dynoed?

yes. There are a couple more things I want to get on it before I get it dynoed.

Mine just hit 3k miles and I just shut the hood…..for a week or two .
Also the factory intake is one of the most restrictive the guys have ever seen. And that crossover laying on top of the engine should at least have some sort of heat shield underneath. Imagine being the ecu trying to control everything when all the air is coming through one filter that’s suppling a turbo underneath it and another 4ft away that’s had to go through an inferno tube before it gets there. Like drinking cold & hot water at the same time. It definitely would take an engineer to figure out how to make that work.

If only there was a gofundme for dyno time. Gets very expensive quickly.

interested in driving "feel" and dyno results before and after. Intake results vary so much - have seen great gains (5-20 HP) and bubkiss.

Lets hear that induction noise!

 

[calelvis]

thanks for the info,, can we get a video showing the performance and sound?? that would be great,, I'm considering getting one on my new truck coming in..

 

[Appleman1le]

this! We need a good video showing the intake sound ASAP

We'll see what Mr. Block says when I do my taxes. Also as I say got to see what the Borla pricing is.....but I really like the sound of the stock exhaust in Baha mode so this might be it The best by orders of magnitude intake sound I ever have heard was test driving a Lexus IS-F, had a week or so when I was pricing them thinking of trading my Raptor almost because I have to fight my truck into the garage with inches to spare every f-ing night....and those IS-F 500's are sooo fast.

Agree. I want to see videos of the Borla exhaust, the MF exhaust is underwhelming. I agree as well. The stock exhaust in Baja mode sounds real good, especially with the upgraded intake.. the combination sounds good.
