Parts were correct amd install not too bad. Highly recommend the cover as the intake is REALLY loud woth out it. I mean it's cool but wife doesn't approve. Haven't experienced mpg gains yet but was installed more for towing with a tuner. Looks well made.

Don't get me wrong. This has really tuned up my engine but.... Why call it a cold air intake, and why have the rubber "seal"? This intake does not seal against the hood of your truck and is an open box design you will want to purchase the lid they sell sepeeatley instead of including one, if only for the fact that it will keep it from sucking the majority of the air from the engine bay. For one of the most expensive air intakes you can buy. That is pretty disappointing. (when I bought this the title and discretion both said "cold air intake". Hopefully they change that soon. (December 2019).

Quality components, very well made. It took me about 40 minutes to install, I'm a pretty skilled mechanic. If you work on your own vehicles, this is a breeze to install - it's maybe a 2 out of 10 on the difficulty scale.. The directions are not perfect, but again, if you work on cars you'll have no problem. The included T20 bit was useless for me to remove my MAP sensor since it was a male stud TORX head. I used a 6 point, 5/32 socket to take it off.There is a DEFINITE increase in the whistle of the turbos, but especially the noise of the air being sucked in like some giant, sinister vacuum cleaner. It is a beautiful sound in my opinion. It's hypnotic. The sound alone makes it obvious that the truck is breathing much better, Breathing better makes horsepower, end of discussion.It's too soon to determine if there is any improvement in MPG. I do think the turbos seem to spool up more quickly. I'll add to the review once I have put some miles in.One irritation - the scratches on the rear tube. It arrived that way. I expect perfection for FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS. See pics.Update: After 1.5 years of commuting to work - 95% interstate driving - I can say for me there was no difference in fuel economy either way. I love the sound and maybe that's why there was no change, maybe I'm a little more lead-footed with it installed.

This is an excellent intake. Seems to have increased power and MPG. I also love the fact that I can hear the turbochargers spooling up. The build quality is excellent, and everything fit well within the engine bay. This is a bit more expensive than other intakes, but I think the extra cost is worth the quality and benefits.

Honestly this thing made my engine compartment look cool and the turbos sound better with it on. The performance claims are something I didn't feel or see in MPG. If anything my MPG went down a bit. I solved the problem though by trading in my ecoboost for a new hemi! I'd save my money if I had the choice again.

Okay, my questions is, why wasn't this product already on the F150 Ecoboost. Okay, maybe something close to this configuration which enabled this engine to produce similar results.I've read other reviews. Most stated that there was no improvement in gas mileage. However, it also read there was an improvement in the take off and acceleration. So, this tells me, that person had his foot down on the accelerator (heavy foot). If the truck is taking off faster and the accelerating is quicker too; however, there's no improvement in mileage, you still got your feet in it. And yes, it's easy to do because the modification allows the truck to breath, which enables it to accelerate so smooth and quick, you don't think to adjust your feet pressure on the accelerator. So, you're still giving the trucks lots of gas, in return, the truck is performing at an impressive rate. So, there's no change in mileage, however, you experience a huge change in performance.I, on the other hand, drove the Ford F150 Ecoboost the same way before and after the installation of the intake. Before installation, take off had the lab and was a little sluggish as everyone who has an Ecoboost experience. Driving through my neighborhood at speeds of 20 MPG or less, the truck had this herky, jerky feel as if the transmission was suppose to be in a lower gear. It was lack the transmission was slowing the engine down....awful. I loved the power of the Ecoboost with or with loads and towing, however, to me, it performed horrible during city commutes.So, After the modification. Everything I talked bad about before...., GONE. Man, this is a must for 2014 and earlier Ecoboost. I don't know how the 2015 new intake has changed the Ecoboost performance because it is different. But for 2014 F150 Ecoboost and earlier, you need to get this. I'm 53 years old man and while driving my truck, I wasn't in any rush to get any where. So I gradually accelerated to the posted speed limited allowing the truck to maintain its distance ahead of cars in the back of me. So, I wasn't just creeping up to the speed limit, I made every attempt to get there without flooring it, which is normal driving for me. Best gas mileage before was 16.5 or less. Gas mileage now, between 18.5 to 20.1 miles in the city. I experience the low end when I am driving down this road which in my city that has back to back stop lights. As for neighborhood driving, this thing drives smooth like a non-turbo engine. If you can afford to spend a little money, try it. You can always return it. I know, why go through the trouble of buying something and returning it. Again, "if you could afford to spend a little money"...., you won't.

Bought this cold air intake believing it would fit my 2015 f150. So to my disappointment the housing for the filters did not fit. I will be returning this item very unhappy because I have to pay 12 dollars to return a product that did not say in the description what year models it was for.

Great CAI for my F150 Ecoboost! Nice fit and finish and very cool design offering max air flow for the twin turbos. Installation wasn't too bad, took a little time to get it adjusted just right. You can really hear the airflow when you stomp on the gas, sounds cool and is a great companion to a cat back exhaust and tuner/programmer combo.
