Great value for filter

Great kit for the money everything looks and feels great great value installed in under 30 minutes great sound with stock exhaust definitely noticed overall, definitely recommend if you want to clean up the engine bay and give the engine a nice sound. I don't expect a big increase in mileage. If that's what you're looking for, get a tuner. Otherwise this product is great for what it is!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Can't remember

I love this product good for spare parts

Oh how I like this one. Like all other comments on that beautiful sound coming out of the hood, it sounds so beautiful. But I see no difference between mileage and gas. I see small changes in throttle response and a slight increase in power. I only got this to see if a cold air intake would actually change the car's performance before buying an expensive one, but I think I'll stick with it. The only thing I don't like is the instructions. They should rewrite their guide for those who really…

Pros
  • beautiful packaging

  • boring packaging

Specter won't disappoint

So you're trying to decide which air intake to buy OR to buy at all. I was the same. Specter is owned by K&N. That speaks volumes! The price is acceptable. There are certain performance details that require high costs. This should not be the case with hoses, clamps and a filter in the main. This is a great kit. Installed on my 2012 Ford F-150 5.0. Nice performance increase. The sound is amazing. It didn't give out any check engine codes. Plant engineers are held back by three things: cost…

Worth the money

Given the price I had some doubts about the quality but once I got my hands on it all doubts were gone. This is a quality product and does exactly what CAI is supposed to do. He even does his job very well. The CAI is a tight fit in the old air box and is held in place by clips that are already on the old air box. Installation only took 30 minutes because I was enjoying my favorite adult drink at the same time. After installing it I went for a long test drive and was pleasantly surprised by the

Pros
  • Trial for one year

  • No instructions

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

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • So far so good

There are some oddities, but it gets the job done.

I've never seen the point of spending $3-500 on CAI. Also, most cars have air entering from outside the engine compartment. I decided I should try one and this one cost what I was willing to pay for very minimal gain, if any. During installation I noticed that the metal box that houses the filter is just a loose fit and doesn't seal anything against the bottom of the factory airbox (which makes no sense to me). So I took some sticky weatherproof foam and cut it to fit the factory airbox. I also

  • Practicality

Who writes your instructions? Not polite!

Good I have a 2014 Ford F-150 XLT. The package has arrived in good condition. I opened it and was very disappointed when it came to the instructions. The instructions included black and white photos and the photos were dark so you couldn't see what they were illustrating. The letter describes the part to use next, but the parts list doesn't show any pictures of the part and since you can't see the picture too well and don't know which part you're capturing, you'll have to go to YouTube and…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
