The aftermarket cold air intakes do a few things, they won't really improve fuel economy, but they do allow the engine to breath at mid to upper RPM range better than stock, which is restrictive enough to pull horsepower....easy way to tell, the Raptor uses the same stock filter as the standard F-150 ecoboost, even though it makes way more power and needs more air to make that power.
I did some simple calcs a while back and posted them, can't seem to find them, but the gist was, at around 4000 to redline, the loss of Hp started around 9 Hp to 14 Hp using the stock filter; just about any aftermarket CAI will get rid of that loss. Add in that they are larger filter media, will last longer between changes and as they clog will rob less power than a clogging OE sized filter, and they are just a good idea.

Are there any cold air intakes available for the gen 3 raptor that doesn't void the warranty?
I did the Roush kit, since it's sold by the Ford Parts Department and figured it's a safe bet if they want to give me any crap over it. So far no issues and its CARB legal in California (que in the California comments) :p

I got an INJEN CAI and I swear I can feel a little more power whenever I get on it!! Not really 100% sure if it's just me hoping I didn't just waist $300.00 or if it really has a tiny bit more giddy-up!! But it also looks cool as s..t compared to stock....
