Here is a video of IC, still waiting on Cold Air intake!

There is no Tune on it! I can feel the low end throttle response and the MPG have increased!

This IC is from Ford Performance! This after market shop got paid by ford to install IC, create a Cold air intake and Test Tunes! Which they did. I can see that they Ran the shit out of my Truck because of the Gold Blue color of exhaust past the X-pipe! This IC will be an option for future Gen 2 Raptors!

He said, 10 hp and 66 lbs of Torque just from the IC

With a 21 lbs boost Tune and new CAI. I will get 35 hp and 100 lbs Torque! Also this set up will not trigger any codes. Remember! They are doing all testing for Ford Performance! They don't really have a reason to lie about data! Once it is all done! You are welcome to come and pay for a Dyno test and if off by more than 5 hp or 10 lbs of Torque! I will pay for the Test!

I am not some Kid blowing smoke for kicks! I take data serious!

Can I get a vid of your exhaust sound. Wanted to hear an x pipe alone with stock exhaust the rest of the way back.

Im sure the tuners will eventually provide much better data and comparisons after many pulls showing, and beneifts of aftermarket FMIC less heatsoak etc ...

This below is after 1 pull, and sitting for ~10minutes... blue line shows loss of 4hp/14tq, likely from timing pulled to to heatsoak iat's. granted truck might still be in the "break in mode" and maybe is more conservative

I was initially pretty set on keeping stock IC, but may be open to goto the bigger one if next dyno session with tune shows more of this... Pricing on these kits are pretty absurd given how effective $100 ebay/aussi IC can be on other applications, just hope these are at least beefier and more quality welds to hold more abuse we throw at them.

Johnjoemd,
Here is a video of X-pipe in place of Resistor with stock muffler and stock pipe to Tip! I did install a Decal of a Raptor on both Tips The Decal is made out of Cast Material, it can handle heat! I have had it on my Tips for 3 weeks. No issues so far! They only cost me $10 so really can't go wrong giving them a try!
I like it because when you hit the gas you can hear it but when just cruising down the hwy there is no Drone sound.
Exhaust is going be a preference for each Raptor owner! In the end, it is always going to sound like a V6!

Sitdown,
I could tell a difference with the performance once the new twin fan IC was installed. I don't know the price so it may not be worth the $$$ for the gain. I like you Dino graph of a Stock Raptor. With the X-pipe and K&N filter, I picked up 7hp. The TQ looks the same on your first pull. I think that Heatsoaking will be an issue for Stock IC. The Ford Tech said that the IC that is installed on my Raptor will be a Factory upgrade and aftermarket option in the future. I am in the Dark on when it will be released. It will most likely not be cheap! It will come down to whether owners want to spend the money for 10hp and 66 lbs of Toque?

@MadRaptor65

I was not aware of a IC kit offered with fans, any pictures?

I'd consider buying even if gains were neglible, but simply that it limited heatsoak and curbed it from pulling timing as result. But the gains shown on your dyno would absolutely be worthwhile. Any more info on it would be helpful for us all, thanks
