    I’m thinking about upgrading the exhaust and intake on my 2018. I’ve been looking at Corsa but I’m not seeing any information on HP gains... anyone know or have suggestions for something better? Or keeping it stock the way to go? I’m looking to gain bolt on power. Afraid of a tuner after all my past diesel issues.

    Im going with Afe stage 2 magnum when taxes are done cai, known hp gains, or S & B would be my other choice for intakes. I would not do a tune either, get the turbo adapters and cai and should have more hp and air flow.

    leave it alone, there is no real gain from a cat back.

    Cat back does indeed make the truck sound like a Raptor though :)

    Borla, Corsa, AFE, etc catback exhausts or muffler replacements will add minimal power. Somewhere in the 5-10HP range. Most intakes are going to yield similar results. The SPD turbo adapters and SPD catted downpipes, you're looking at approximately 35HP.

    We've got all almost all intakes, exhausts and turbo adapters in stock. Downpipes are running about 2 weeks out right now. Send us a message for forum discounts.

    I just put on roush CAI and Ford performance sport exhaust. I can feel a bit more perkiness to it. Not getting whip lashed but it’s there for sure.

    Nice tempered growl but not obnoxious. I hear the turbos a lot more than stock unless I’m dreaming but my neighbor asked if I had gotten work done since he heard it from his kitchen. Lol.

    Hi Guys, need some input. This past Friday I finally had my catch can setup installed by Revolution Auto Speed Shop here in the Baltimore area, it was the UPR. But anyway they suggested next improvement would be a CAI unit. Their suggestion was the Full Race unit. This is a little different then the AFE and Roush as it has two separate tubes and two filters.
    One is probably as good as the other, but any suggestions would be appreciated as I’m going over Monday to order it.
    Thanks in advance
