Raptor R intake?

[BoostCreep]

Installed mine yesterday and very satisfied right away.

What are your initial impressions?

Impossible to not smoke the tires right off it and still averages 22 mpg! It’s a CAI, not a flux compacitor. Jk. It’s too early to say just yet on much. Seriously though, I believe the SC is significantly quieter, which I appreciate. TRX obnoxious whine was part of the reason I went with R. I have 12k on my truck and have averaged 14 mpg since Go. I reset tripometer to see what kind of change I see there. I averaged 15.3 on a quick 40 mile trip at 70mph after install yesterday.

Any change in sound or throttle response at all?

Do you only drive freeways with no wind drag?? I can't believe you get that kind of mileage, that's damn good. We're talking V8 Raptor R right?

Yes it is the R. I drive Missouri rural highway about 38 miles one way to work.

You're driving it wrong then, it only gets fun when you average 11mpg or less. Let er rip!

Can anyone with the new intake report their performance/sound/feel improvement?

I did find these 2 documents on the SB website.

Considering SB or the Ford Performance.

Thanks.

You can't judge mpg on a 40 mile trip.. I drove to florida(900 mile trip) at 70 with a ford performace filter etc. Max I got was 15.2.. hand calculated.
To get accuracy- you need to run it thru a full tank and go from there.

I can’t lie, I’m not impressed by your common sense though in this day and age, I probably should be. Sad but true.

Ok sir. Not going to argue. But fact is a fact on the mpg. Prove me wrong then. Don't jump to conclusions on me.
