Review on πŸš€ Spectre Performance Air Intake Kit: Boost Horsepower & Torque in Your 2011-2014 FORD F150 (SPE-9976) by Edward Mcnamara

Fuel Economy - Filter

As with previous intake tests, the most noticeable thing is the sound. To muffle it I had to put a thin layer of insulation around the bottom edges of the filter box to hold it in place. It is also necessary to twist or bend the hoses to install the sensor on the intake manifold. Fits a bit uncomfortable. While cruising around town, I felt a slight increase in MPG. But on the road, when driving at 55 km/h and more, there is a noticeable drop in fuel efficiency. There is an increase in power, it seems that speed is picked up noticeably faster, but again at the cost of reduced fuel efficiency. A qualified mechanic will check the computer settings, increasing airflow may decrease speed. Easy install albeit with minor modifications, impressive sound but the drop in fuel efficiency makes this a so-so buy.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • So far so good
