I have the Roush on my 4.6l and I love it.

Airraid makes the CAI for Roush, so they are one in the same. (roush version is cheaper)


Installation? Piece of cake!

It comes with very detailed instructions with pictures. All you need is a couple sockets, a couple beers, and 45 minutes.

You can install an intake by yourself with no problems at all!

I carry S&B, K&N, AF1, AFE and can get pretty much any other intake.

My personal favorite is S&B, but I have only heard good things about the others, and many on this site love their AF1's

All Intakes - click here


Click on the picture to see the S&B intake



I am also doign $5 off S&B right now using the coupon code in my signature.

I put on a volant cai with power cord filter, only has to be changed at 100000 miles.



Was easy to install and instantly feel better throttle responce and some power gain. But all good cai you will feel this. I got this because it has a seals housing to keep hot air out.

I order the JLT ram air intake, my second choice would be the s&b CAI. As to the mount of the system, a caveman can do it.

Hey SteelShot,
If you are Looking for a Programmer, the F150 store is selling the banks for $159, right now, normally it is about $300-$400....that is what I also have on my F150 along with the S&B CAI..... For the Price the Tuner Can't be Beat.

Regards
Fr8daddy
