Best sounding CAI

I have the S&B and so far I think it sounds great.

I was under the impression the COBB did not require a tune on the 2018's. Is that correct?

My sample of one says 2018s don’t require. Installed the Cobb a couple of days ago on my 18 without issue; not throwing codes.

That's correct. 2017 only requires a tune for COBB CAI to avoid a CEL.

Any idea why? What code does it throw?

I forget the exact code, but it’s not an issue unique to COBB, it’s all of them. AFE Power will send out some in-line plastic pieces to anyone with a CEL with their intakes.

Apparently the 2018+ trucks are just less sensitive to the change in airflow/direction with aftermarket intakes.

Anyone on here living in CA have the Roush installed? I’m thinking of ordering one but recall reading somewhere it’s not CA legal?

I wonder if that pertains to the Raptor itself or the year? I have the COBB CIA on my 17 3.5 xlt and it has never thrown a CEL. Been on for over a year now.

It may only be on the 3.5 HO vs the standard 3.5. I also am under the impression that it’s a sporadic issue. Some trucks are more sensitive than others.

That’s so odd. I considered taking off the AP since I just have it at stage 1+ but just don’t hoon much anyway and warranty and whatnot. But then I played with it in 4A sport mode and think I may keep that snarl. Holy crap.

S&B next for me
