Best cold air intake for 2013 f150 ecoboost

Has anyone installed a cold air intake on their 3.5 L ? If so, which one.?

Your truck already has one installed from the factory. Put in a better air filter, but it's been proven that the aftermarket CAIs don't improve performance. I put a dry AEM filter in mine.

Thanks for the info, I will install a dry filter. No sense installing a $300+ intake when I don’t need one.

I'll get this filter too, good price and great reviews. Is there any other "mods" to the stock intake to improve air intake i.e. air silencer?

here is the one I use and I really like the extra sounds

Yes, I took out that reducer piece that connects the air box to the inside fender. It will add more air to grab (well on my 2012 it does). I just put some alum duck tape, to fill the gap to the fender. That along with my K&N filter, I now have my own CAI.

They are not worth the money for the gains.

They make a bunch more turbo noise.

If you have to get one, S&b is what I would choose.

Is this the same for a 2018 2.7L Ecoboost? And if it does where can I find out that information stating it comes from factory with a CAI? If thats the case, I'll definitely just get an aftermarket filter...if that even makes a difference.

All F150's stock intakes are really a CAI and the consensus is that an aftermarket one is a waste of money. If you want the cool factor and to gain a little louder noise, then go ahead and waste several hundred on an aftermarket CAI. I decided to just go with a dry AEM drop in and save a few bucks but get a small gain.

Had S&B on my 13 and will do the same with my 18. Top quality product.

This is also how I feel a cat back exhaust is.

Yep, no power gains on stock motors. I went with a K&N drop in and called it a day.

I found this very helpful thank you. After doing some research I had never heard of AEM as I have always used K&N. After reading the reviews and ordering one they really are a great filter for the money.

I put a K&N cold air in mine simply to clean up that area and to have a filter that can be cleaned rather than replaced. I never buy these for there non-existent power gains. I have a tuner for that sort of thing.

Well hell, I am installing a AfE CAI tomorrow. I guess I just wasted $450. It looks cool anyway.

I did this and took it one step further and took out the reducer from the air box through the fender thingy

and replace it with alum duck tape.

Absolutely! How many spend more on wheels with no performance just appearance gain? Enjoy the intake and do not look back. KM

I just bout the same one, oh well.

For the record, its installed and tuned and there is a noticeable difference. Very happy with it. It did take a little longer to install than it was

advertised.

And you have to wonder why Ford didn't just do that from the start and same millions of dollars?

Think I'll just keep the setup they originally designed..
