Has anyone found a CAI that actually fits the 2025 2.3 EcoBoost?

I ordered an aFe kit since several sites listed it as compatible, but it definitely doesn’t fit. Every manufacturer I’ve checked—including S&B—still shows their “2025” kits using the old rubber coupler design.

For now, I installed an aFe dry replacement drop-in filter from Amazon, but it’s just a temporary placeholder until someone makes a CAI. The turbo intake is now a flat plate instead of the older round coupler style, and both the MAF sensor and crankcase vent tube have been redesigned. Neither will work with any of the current intakes being sold as “2025-compatible.”

1. aFe CAI (does not fit)
2. Updated 2025 turbo intake design
3. “Schematics” from S&B for the unreleased 2025 S&B CAI (clearly won’t work)
4. aFe drop-in filter currently installed

Everyone can spend their money how they like but the truck already comes with a true cold air intake from the factory. There won't be anything to gain but only losing $450 out of your pocket for mainly looks or possibly sounds.

exactly. comes in from the grill, gets scooped up, then up through the rad support header, then the seals to the header and right i to the intake.
