Looking to add after market air intake

[kalob123]

I have a 2020 Raptor and I am wanting to install an air intake and just wondering what everyone is going with. View attachment 317349View attachment 317350View attachment 317349

Better off staying stock. Aftermarket CAI does nothing except make some noise.

not true!! It looks cool too.. Cobb all the way

I second the Cobb. Go with the Red Line. Like stated above, not adding much but looks so nice. But they were on backorder, I had to wait from April to get mine yesterday.

Do you need a program tune if you do a Cobb red line? Or can you just install it and good to go?

 

[Jeremy K]

One of the questions asked of Cobb in the production description addresses your question. Looks like 17 needs a tune, 18+ can be used without. See attached screenshot. But I would still confirm with them if ordering.

I did the "Roush" for the look and it's CARB compliant but I really like the Cobb as well.

I went with the Injen duel filter intake. I'm not sure if it add any noticeable performance improvements or not ? Common sense tells me the engine must breath easier with this set-up compared to the restriction of the stock air box. Lot's of differing opinions on the forum. But it sure looks a lot cooler then the stock black-box !!!

Another thing to consider is wether or not you will be off-roading a lot. It’s much easier to change a $40 paper filter than spend time cleaning a reusable. A lot of these aftermarket filters do not filter fine particulates as well as the stock filter does either, which can be dangerous in a truck set up for desert work.

This is true and something to seriously consider with aftermarket air filters. The oiled air filters do not have the same level of filtration as the factory filter. Another thing to be aware of is that the clamps can loosen over time, causing unfiltered air to get into the engine. This causes “dusting” of the engine and turbos, which is seen as scored cylinders and damage to the turbo impellers.
