Installed K&N CAI cold air intake kit and Borla exhaust on 3.5 EcoBoost F-150

[TheGoatman]

The intake is the same location as the stock unit. So just as cold. K&N filters don't keep out as much dirt as a stock filter as they rely on the oil. Be careful not to dowse the filter in oil as that will damage any sensors in the intake.

No MAF on the ecoboost. Oil away!

K & N are not rated as the most effective filters.

K&N boasts an almost 15 hp gain. Is this realistic?

No. AWE does this as well. Typically they leverage actual cooler air from another source to realize gains in a testing environment. The results are. It due to the filter.

I don't see the coolant overflow tank.

This does fit the powerboosf though....u can see the curved area on the tube that curves down to the drivers side turbo. That is what clears the extra coolant tank the powerboost has. Something others (CVF *cough cough*) dont think is an issue with thier intakes. I was looking at one of these but not too crazy about the oiled filter part.

they were both easy to install bolt right in no problem. getting the stock exhaust took some hits to get off but the new one went right on. It sounds really good.

Any drone or regerts?

Have you got a pic of the exhaust exit in the day? Are those factory tips or Borla?

No, especially with forced induction. You do hear the turbos a little more tho!
