S&B Intake (lots of pics)
what i was talking about is that on S&B's website they list a cold air intake and a performance intake. the cold air is more expensive. the picture looks just like what you got though. when i called to check on my order today, they said the one i ordered wasn't released to the public yet, it will go out tomorrow or monday. i'm just lost about the whole deal????
If you have 04 models, S&B is re working the design of the tube to fit properly. Apparently Ford did change engine compartment from 05 on so anyone with 04 will get newly re worked/designed intake system, which should be shipped out by Monday. I'm waiting for my unit too.
so we get the latest and greatest? awesome....but they should at least list that on their website, i ordered mine at the beginning of the week and called to check on my order only to hear they haven't even been released to the public yet...lady was nice though
Hey Canno... I did the same; ordered and called few days later cause didnt get any notice of tracking #. Upon contacting them, customer rep transfer me to another person who told me all this new event w/i. I'll be the first one to try out newly mod intake, I dont think it is that different than 05 and up model since only thing was some sort of obstruction issue with driver headlight area with tube or the box (just slight appearance change). Anyhow, I can't wait until I get it. I think combo with my Borla and Edge-Evo will be awesome.

after doing research on the turbulance of the air that travels through the volant, i noticed that it doesn't produce a vortex effect which results in power loss. The numbers show it.
ACTUALLY, i have no idea, i liked the way the S&B looked

I think I will be going with the 3.50 AF1 and xcal 2. He did tell me that my 40 series flowmaster was not the best buy I should have gone with the Mega...darn it o well its on there now have to make the best out of it.

As long as i have protection and better airflow than stock, the power i gained can just be a bonus in my book. 

Amen bro. I'm sure almost every intake is close on actual hp gains regardless of what is posted about dyno's. Which at best are tuning tools, and trust me I know since I have spent big $$ on buildling a high hp Raptor atv motor. But the S&B is a complete package in intakes, and it's made me more then happy.
