I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't matter what volume can be sucked in, if you can't mix it with properly with fuel. Plus, you need an exhaust to expell it.

The stock exhaust is actually fine for a tuner/CAI application. Yes, a free-flowing muffler like a Borla would help a little bit, but negligible gains. Your chambered flowmaster surely isn't expelling exhaust any better than the stocker.

According to s+bs cfm calculater the 5.4 only requires 381 cfm at 5000 rpm so anything over that really doesnt matter.

I thought a motor was like an air pump the more air you can get through it the more power it can make,with the proper tune of course. If it only requires 381 and the Banks flows 500 through the 5.4
My Banks Powerpack arrived to day, it will be installed on Friday,finnaly!!

You can only stuff so much air through that 3.5in hole.
