Def I’d go with The AFE stage 2 intake. Was on sale on the site a little back for 20yr Anniversary sale. Not sure if still is. They promise the most Hp out of all the intakes out there. I ordered one but the oiled filter ones are on backorder to end of May.

Just a CAI, all you're going to get is a different look/sound, really. The airbox/intake itself is not restrictive/a problem. I just replaced the filter with an AEM dry filter, and won't do more unless I do a tune and exhaust. YMMV.

supposed to be a HP increase of 35-40...
I've been doing car/race car stuff for many years....found just about every replacement intake system useless for more power...more intake noise, that's about all.
35-40 HP?....more like 3.5-4.0 HP......
Stick to a good drop in replacement element and be done with it...

Pretty sure COBB tuning said in their big tuning thread that it won't do anything for power (their own intake included) and nor do downpipes.

... But I went with agency power because of good warranty and it was cheapish (270 shipped). It's fine, sounds alright, didn't notice power difference.

The COBB and S&B intakes have been our most popular. Both are quality fully sealed units. Another option for those who are after the most potential gains, some under the hood eye candy, and a nice sound would be the aFe Power Magnum Force Stage 2.

Let us know if we can help with options or pricing.

I have the AFE magnum force stage 2 with oiled filters. It’ll set you back about $750. The difference I see is about 2-4 mpg better than stock. Also if you remove the turbo silencers you get a lot more of the turbo whistle sound. Overall performance is noticeable ...definitely less lag when step on the gas and want instant power. Supposed to be a HP increase of 35-40...although I’ve never dynoed my truck to know. I have a 2019 Raptor truck.


Tell me more about this 2-4 mpg gain. This is of interest to me.

I went with the Agency Power intake, its the open box design, but seals against the hood when closed. I spent a lot of time looking at gains and they were all about the same, 10ish hp, youre not going to notice and gains honestly. Sound seems to be the biggest change ive noticed. I also reached out to several companies regarding their warranty and most of them replied with "our warranty covers on road use only" kinda weird considering our trucks are built for off road use. Agency Power however said we warranty our product for any use, unless you run it over with your truck and break it lol. So they were my choice. Hope that helps!
sorry to bring back up this thread again but how do you like Agency Power intake? i am thinking about getting one. Is it pretty loud when accelerating?
