[QUOTE="HoldenTX, post: 338995, member: 9496"] This could apply to a lot of the aftermarket equipment out there - but when I start reading about CAI's and Exhaust upgrades, it makes me wonder when I read stuff like "improves mpg", "improves hp", "improves backflow" or "improves intake" - If it was really so easy to do this, why would Ford (or in this case SVT) not just do it at the factory? They have millions of dollars of computer engineering processing at their disposal (and the engineers to go with it), yet a small company like Borla or Kooks can come up with something that works better? I get the sound improvement part...apparently Ford and GM think we like our V8's to sound like a Camry - but I don't get how someone can come up with a better Intake - or more efficient exhaust - unless of course with these improvements there is a downside that Ford does not want to deal with. Interested in your thoughts...because I am starting to look around at the stuff I can add to my future Raptor! [/QUOTE]
