Cai, spd adapters and downpipes.

And if you want just Sounds for your self I saw a guy take a hose from the intake and run it in the cab .....

Are you Rock crawling, or Mall crawling?.....every mod you look at will need that questioned asked first...
Mall?....looks like you are headed that way already...
Rock?...Worry less about the engine and take a look at what parts of the Raptor still need a little help...

I am not making fun of you at all, just giving you something to think about so however you use your truck you get most enjoyment out of it...

This is my daily driver here in Michigan, I ain’t rock crawling. I live in the country so at most I’m hitting some farm trails, ripping backroads and crawling malls....not really any malls around here but I’ll be on pavement. Lol..do plan to hit some sand dunes and more aggressive trails in northern Michigan.

Most Raptors owners don't, but it did rhyme with "Mall"...:)
I wouldn't worry about so called engine performance enhancers...mostly waste of money....Except there are a few engine tuners that will wake up the 3.5......

I've seen a few members on the board say good things about the AFE Magnum Force stage 2 CAI that produces some good noise. Downpipes would probably help as well.

I have the Afe magnum (which is their loudest instake). I can hear the turbos in the cabin with the radio off. Any other variable and no turbo sound. People need to remember our truck comes with a CAI stock.

You'll definitely hear more of the turbos with an intake. I myself am using a Roush CAI. I wanted something that doesn't require a tune as I'm like you in that this is my daily driver and I'm not interested in voiding the warranty. Intakes are easy to install and just as easy to remove in case you need service. If my truck goes to the dealer, I'll likely be pulling off my Roush CAI just in case.

Although you mentioned you're not interested in it, I'd recommend trying the BOV VTA mod as well. For only a few bucks it's a lot of fun.

Speaking from experience, I have almost 9,000 miles on mine with the S&B CAI, SPD turbo adapters, MBRP Street exhaust, but don't hear the turbos much at all.....
Not sure if that is being drowned out by the exhaust. In retrospect, I regret not doing the SPD downpipes because once you replace the turbo adapters, the downpipes become
your most restrictive choke point. I like my exhaust, but for performance, I should have done the downpipes instead. Didn't do enough research prior to purchase.

All my equipment was installed under the purchase from my dealer, but I have been lucky enough so far to avoid repairs at the dealership; so I have not had to fight
any issues with the dealer on getting work done under warranty.
