Power foaming a 3.5 ecoboost

[Black]

299 isnt bad compared to others. And I may do it but with the understanding that im going to do a tuner as well.

AFE is $550 and they claim 32hp.

S&B is quality stuff.
Looks like the dry filter model is out of stock but the oiled filter (not for me) is available.
They are airflow tests listed but no dyno tests.

AFE is way over priced. For half that price I got 100 hp and 100tq to the wheels with a custom tune. S&B, not much over stock setup other than larger “air tube inlet”

I contacted S&B and they said they did not do power tests and cannonmy guess 3-5% increase in power based off 350hp

The AFE is not a straight bolt on. You need to adapt the sensor. I have it. Waiting for a warm day to install and do the modifications needed. You can find it FAR cheaper than $550. Think I paid less than $400 for the dry filter version.

True, but it takes what all of 8 seconds to grind that tab/section of the sensor off?

Yes, but worth mentioning, since people that read will see our vehicles are not mentioned in the applications.

How do you all feel about the smaller dual filters and pipes compared to a larger filter and larger pipes for intakes?

I feel for Max airflow you would want as little restriction as possible but a lot of f150 guys like the two filter setup from AFE

Flow is Flow. AFE’s setup is proven on the Dyno and Flow Bench. Two smaller generally gives more surface area vs one big in the same space. It is like 2 Smaller monitors vs one Big.

I agree that flow is flow but air density is also a thing.

Dynos do not tell the whole truth because most of the time people dyno they leave the hood open. When you do this you give the intake WAAAY more cool air than it would normally get in real world conditions.

With an intake that is sealed like the s&b you get repeatable, real world results. For this reason I only like sealed intakes. Banks and S&B are the only two brands that come to mind that do it like this.
