[QUOTE="Rexenator, post: 1591158, member: 45825"] So I took Friday off and knocked out a bunch of stuff on the Raptor. The small stuff I installed included the Du-Ha underseat storage box, the Ford Perimeter Plus module with BajaMod bracket, stubby antenna, and weather tech wind deflectors. Now onto the big stuff (split into the next two posts). First up, the ORA 550 Stage 3 performance package. I ordered the entire kit, with BDX tuner, plugs, Cobb Intake, and AMS Boost Tubes, but I substituted the Cobb front mount intercooler for the Wagner setup that mounts to the factory location but includes an upper portion that extends behind the bottom of the grill. I wanted to keep the factory shutter system and avoid blocking as much of the radiator as I could to prevent overheating and because honestly I didn't want to cut up the shutter system on a new truck. The Wagner IC is massive, here's a picture of it next to the factory unit: [ATTACH]160384[/ATTACH] The install was pretty straight forward, and and just required removal of the grill and the factory IC crossmember. I basically gutted the entire intake system to make more room, and then installed all of the new parts at the same time.
