The airraid intake system is a decent buy. You can notice a bit of sound when you punch it especially in the mid range rpms. The quick fit system which they use Allows you not to Alter too much under the hood for some added power, sound, and appearance. With the right tools installation literally took a friend and myself 15 minutes. If you're looking for a quick add-on without much effort, or risk of screwing something up this is a pretty great product and that's what I wanted from it.

Easy to install. Big notice in power. My dodge has a hemi that cuts the motor down to 4 cylinders for better mileage. You can hear this through the intake, kind of irritating. When you get on the gas you can really hear this thing gobble up the air, witch I think sounds really good. Did not help with mileage that much but is a big power boost. I would recommend getting one if pulling a trailer. P.S don't forget the throttle body spacer.

I purchased the Airaid Intake System because K&N was more expensive. Both systems rated the same. Do I feel, see, hear, smell, or notice a difference from the Ford stock intake, NO! However, my 18 year old son will tell you that he does. I am waiting to install a pair of Flowmaster dBX Series Hushpower Mufflers. I am hoping to see the gains of this air intake with the after market mufflers. Check out my review with the mufflers and I will let you know if it was worth the money!

I'm by no means a motor head and I was able to install my Airaid Intake System in about an hour. The only issue I ran into was the silicone reducer boot was a pretty tight fit and took a little patience getting it on to the engine air inlet. The Airaid Intake System nicely compliments my Magnaflow dual exhaust and instantly added about 40 miles to a tank of gas on my truck. Thanks AutoAnything for the great service and fast shipping....I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Hi... PLEASE, PLEASE forward this to tech support!!! I've seen a lot of discussions on forums re: CAI's used with Toyota's TRD supercharger. Compatibility problems: new 2012-2013 air pump, and the MAF sensor not reading total airflow, sending "lean" instructions to the ECU, and then throwing "overlean" codes and service lights... not to mention causing engine/valve damage. PLEASE... beyond knowing that this CAI will fit... IS IT COMPATIBLE with a 2013 4.0L with TRD supercharger??? Thanks!!
Answered by Nathan S. — Apr 04, 2013 9:27 AM
Hi, What you're hearing about is improperly installed cold air intake systems causing air leaks (not a vacuum leak) which trips the check engine light (extremely common). 99% of this is due to a silicone boot slipped over the throttle body of mass airflow sensor in a crooked position and blindly clamped down, causing an air leak on the underside of the tube. The other 1% is a disconnected or cracked hose/sensor nipple leading to the intake. Any engine damage caused by an air leak would be due to negligence as the check engine light would immediately light up and the driver would continue down the road for an extended period of time until the engine simply melts internally. Generally, if your intake is installed correctly and is leak free, you will not have an issue.

Can you confirm that this intake system will not void the Ford factory warranty for my 2012 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost? Also, is it guaranteed not to, and will not damage the turbo system? Thanks! Jason
Answered by Nathan S. — Mar 07, 2013 11:41 AM
Hi Jason, According to the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty of your vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part was the cause or contributed to the failure of the vehicle (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)). It’s always best to work with a performance-oriented dealership, but no matter who you choose, you’re protected by the law. Section 2301-2312 of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act: The intake was developed on the engine with no issues. If you have any problems, let our customer service department know and we will help you.

I've discussed this with multiple people and they claim that this product isn't necessarily worth it because the on board computer of the car would need to be adjusted. If it's not, the air to fuel mix gets adjusted by the engine because there is so much new air and thus the engine compensates by using more fuel. This results in significantly fewer MFG than the stock version. Do you know if the onboard computer will adjust automatically? I have a 2011 F 150, 5L V8.
Answered by Nathan S. — Jan 28, 2013 11:56 AM
Hi, Ok, your truck has what's called "Adaptive Strategy" and will adjust engine timing and fuel delivery to adjust for changes in airflow to a point. Cold air intakes work just fine on most stock engines and will increase mileage (if you keep your foot out of it ) but make more power on tuned engines. Your calculation doesn't include the throttle body butterfly and correct cylinder filling, which an intake does a great job of helping the engine run more efficiently with. An intake only has the potential of flowing better than the stock intake depending on the throttle body butterfly position. Think of it this way, a stock intake at 1/2 throttle, and cold air intake at 1/3 throttle flow the same to maintain the same speed at a given engine demand. You have to use MORE gas to get the same result with a stock intake because the engine can't move the air fast enough to efficiently fill the cylinders during the intake stroke. Now losses in MPGs are from one of a few things: How many people who install a new performance part don't romp on the gas more than they did with the stock part? OR, the intake was installed with a gap in the lower portion of a silicone sleeve, creating an air leak. The first issue is usually the culprit as higher potential to flow more air at higher engine demand = making more power = using more gas.

Hi, You can just bolt the Airaid on and enjoy. Throwing a performance tuner into the mix will increase the effectiveness of the intake though. http://www.autoanything.com/performance-chips/61A3637A0A0.aspx

My question relates to the airflow for each filter type. In the product details it says that Oiled filter is rated at 820 cfm, and the Dry rated at 542 cfm. However, when you make your selection and you select the Dry filter it says up to 1400 cfm. So which would be the correct specification
Answered by Nathan S. — Oct 22, 2012 1:12 PM
Hello, The information in the product details is pretty generic and might not represent all vehicles. As for the filter for your truck, 1400 CFM is accurate. So, trust what shows up next to the options that you select. Hope this helped

I was able to verify that the item does offer both the oil and dry filter. But if your referring to a metal intake tube, the AirRaid Intake is only offered in nylon intake tube or metal filter.

Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jun 29, 2012 6:12 PM
Hey there. So, the “CARB” is actually an acronym for the California Air Resources Board. This board is in charge is controlling standards for emissions in certain states. Therefore if a part is not "CARB-exempt," it may not be legal for highway use. If you want to find out if your state follows CARB restrictions, see here.

Hello, I have a few questions about cold air intakes. Looking through the web site have seen different makes like K&N, Airaid etc. What is better for filter elements; "Oiled" or "Dry" filter elements? I have a 2002 F150 4.6L V8, that I have purchased from you fine folks, an Airaid throttle body spacer, and BBK 75 mill throttle body. What make/type of cold air intake would work best for my truck, with these current modifications. Would my truck benefit with a new MAF in part of a new cold air intake system?
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jun 22, 2012 12:34 PM
Hello. As far as what works better, oil vs. dry. It will come down to it that the oiled has a tendency to trap smaller particles than the dry does. The only disadvantage with that is that some of the oil might go through and deposit itself on the MAF sensor wire.
You have several choices as to which cold air intake system you could use. As well as the Airaid, check out:
K&N with heat shield
S&B Cold Air Intake Kit
S&B Cold Air Intake Kit
I would probably go with the Airaid simply because you are already using their spacer and it would be the most performance compatible.
I would not see an advantage of changing out the MAF. The computer should compensate for the increase in air volume.

Why is it imortant to discount the negative cable from battery, before installing the new product.
Answered by Nathan S. — Jun 20, 2012 7:34 AM 2008 GMC Sierra
When you work on an engine, you should disconnect the negative battery cable. For safety reasons, it prevents the truck from accidentally rolling or potentially starting if you drop a wrench on the starter motor terminals. It can also protect the engine sensors as they can be damaged if you ground the wrong connections to the engine or chassis with a tool. Don't take a chance to save your radio stations, its not worth it.

Throttle body spacers move everything that is connected to the throttle body. In most cases, cold air intakes will not bolt in the factory locations without modifications because of them.
