That appears to be a fabricated unit, so there was never a cast surface inside the pipes. Notice they didn’t clean up the weld visible on the far side pipe.
Between a fabricated unit and the word “Porsche”, I’m scared of what that costs. I’m betting not $600.
EDIT: I see you got me with the...
Yes, normal for aftermarket part. Nothing shows up ported unless you pay for it to be.
No, in my opinion it makes no difference. An as-cast surface for a few inches of the charge piping is minimal compared to the length of the intake and all the 90* corners involved. Plus, this is post turbo...
Yes, the cobb will be an even easier install as it uses the factory top mount and doesn’t require trimming of the rear louver assembly.
I would still remove the louvers from the front louver assembly. This can be done with the front louver assembly still on the truck while the intercooler is...
I chose the Wagner intercooler for two main reasons.
First, its core volume and surface area is a major upgrade over stock, and larger than the cobb unit.
Second, it cost around $600 shipped on black friday, making it much cheaper than the other aftermarket ic’s available.
When I received my...
Slacked on updates, did this well before Christmas.
Installed wagner intercooler.
Stock comparison:
Hard to say how effective it is with the current cold weather, but temp drops under WOT like it should.
Installed borne/mishimoto 30mm wheel spacers.
Currently running my winter tires...
The “ford performance” wheels are 5g raptor wheels. They have the same width and offset as 6g raptor wheels, but a different spoke design.
I can’t help you with clearance questions on non-raptor, but I can confirm spacers work well.
I’m running borne/mishimoto 30mm spacers on my raptor for an...
Got any good pics with the 30mm on the stock setup? I was debating between 1” (25mm) and 1.25” (32mm) spacers.
I did already verify the stock wheels have clearance for protruding lugs, hadn’t checked these gen 5 wheels yet.
Swapped to snow tires for the winter months.

The lack of sidewall lugs makes the tires seem even farther tucked than stock. I’m going to add 1” spacers to push em out to +30 equivalent.
You have good taste in vehicles.

Mine are thundernight metallic (purple) and shelter green though, no color coordination.
The RR is by far the most sports-car-feeling truck I have ever driven. The bmw feels far more...
Waring motors in Sturgis, SD. Purchased truck there, not sure if that mattered for tune pricing.
I had already uploaded stock cal and had perf cal on device.
Took about an hour, including doing the power window recall.
Cost was $110.
Got a front set of x-act for my raptor, I didn’t like how the stock mat didn’t cover under the gas pedal.
Seem to fit decent, little disappointed they don’t go higher up the tunnel.
I run tuxmats in my bimmer, but wasn’t sure about them for heavy mud cleanup in the raptor.
Got my procal from lethal on Monday.
Set up my ford performance account yesterday and got the procal updated, saved the stock cal, and downloaded the performance tune to the procal.
Stopped by my dealer today after work to see of they had time to push the button for warranty.
They were able to...
I decided to drop my tire size for gas mileage.
I’m really digging the look too.
Just messing with everyone. Thats a stock wheel and tire setup from a gen 5. I put them on to see if the tpms would read before I have winter tires put on those wheels. Not a huge fan of the...
Wait, we get a tune covered with 3 year, 36k mile warranty, and everyone is freaking out about it not being covered by extended warranties?
I’m just thrilled I can add power with any sort of coverage. I was fully ready to install a whipple tune or a jb4 before this was announced.
