I have been reading a lot on this thread and am looking into an intake. Seems Airraid is most popular but I am finding the cold air intake and the intake jr when I search online. What are most of you using and where is the best price?

Thanks in advance!

 

I had an Airaid on my o7 5.4l and I wasn't happy with it. It made a terrible noise at lower RPM's. I returned it and got an AF1 from Troyer Performance. It looks better and sounds better. Take a look at that one.

 

ive got the airaid and ive got no complaints

 

I have no experience with the Air Raids in particular, but I've heard great things about S&B and AF1.

I sell AF1, S&B, K&N and AEM, let me know if you have any questions

I have the Roush version which is made by airaid & at times it drones very bad at. An example is when I'm out on the highway and I go to accelearte from in the 1600-2000 rpm range. I just received my xcal3 the other day so maybe it will help out some with the droning noise. I really haven't had a good chance to test it yet as the weather here in Indiana hasn't been the best yet.

 

Here's a pic of the 3" AF1 on my '05 4.6L Screw..



No droning, no vibrations, very nice growl from under the hood. Very noticeable increase in throttle response, especially at about 3500 rpm and above. That one mod made merging/passing MUCH easier.

 

Good luck with that. Not trying to be a wisea$$, I just thought the same...got custom Troyer tunes, and the drone is still there with the Volant.

 

Actually, just another .02 here..

Before I got Troyers tunes the AF1 made some very noticebale "whooshing" sounds when gettin' on the pedal. Not aggravating, just there. With any of the tunes loaded the "whoosh" isn't there. Still there when I return to stock tune.

Just think it's interesting, not sure why the difference.

 

I have the Airaid and it def. provided a noticeable increase in throttle respose, however, the drone is horrible at 1800 rpm. People ask me what is wrong with my truck when they ride in it. I am going to try something different in the very near future to see if other intakes do not have the annoying drone! Don't get it!

 

With the AF1 the comments I get from passengers are along the lines of, "Wow, nice sound..."

Just a nice V-8 growl.

 

Do Not Get The Airaid!!!!!!!!period

 

How about the Araid JR any drone with it also how about S&B or Banks?

 

I had the S&B and it droned when I ran it with the superchips tuner without it there was no drone. I put the airaid jr on and no drone with or without tuner.

 

i have an air raid and its going back and i plan on reseaching alot more before buying another CAI, i have an 2004 4x4 5.4 and it makes a noise at low rpms also! i am looking at the volant, if anyone has this type please tell if you like it or not?

 

I have troyer tunes now and would love to try out the banks. Love the looks and haven't heard anything negative about it.
