So I installed my intake the other day and holy crap what a difference. I can't wait to put on the headers and exhaust and when PHP gets my tunes done I will have a completely different truck. Can't wait to see how she runs when everything is done.

 

take some pics of it... do you have the 5.4L??

 

I have to find a place to put the pics and how to post them but I will update it here and there.

 

You can actually tell a difference with just a WAI running the stock tune?

 

Does the Roush intake require a reprogram to prevent a lean condition?

 

No pics showing. Try using photobucket.

 

All aftermarket intakes do. You're also only getting a fraction of the power without one.

 

lets try this...

 

Thats mind boggling that a company so involved with the manufacturer themselves would let something be sold that is going to damage your engine.

 

They don't even make the intake, Airaid does. Roush just slaps a new name across the top and calls it theirs.

 

Is there anyone on this sight that can document the actual damage to an engine as a result of installing an aftermarket intake?

What was damaged? Piston? Valves?

Photos would be great.

 

I was told it may throw a code but would not damage anything. In fact PHP online service told me that I could go ahead and install my headers with no cats and it wouldn't harm the engine I may just get a code, so I plan to do that why I wait for the custom tunes.
The only thing I do notice with the CAI is it obviously brings in much more air which tends to make the engine almost hesitate a little if you get on it. Almost like it can't compute fast enough.

 

>15:1 over time ... not uncommon in Open Loop under load, with a pekkered MAF TF caused by a misbehaving Washoobi ...







Immediate Effect on performance ...

HOLY ---- How lomg does something like that take. I am not real savy when it comes down to the details. I thought your ecu compensates and adjust. Having a CAI without a programmer under normal driving conditions how long would something like that take?

 

It's also a Re-badged Airaid CAI. You need to remove it until you get a custom tune. I would hate to see you damage your expensive engine.
