Fabulous Fab Airbox and TurboSmart Blow Off Valve

Obviously no confirmation on fitment for NA models but a good look at where the aftermarket is headed either way.

That BOV is terribly obnoxious in my eyes (ears?), but to each their own. The truck looks sharp though!

I grew up in the tuner scene of the early 2000’s so BOV is music to my ears and likely the first thing I add to it after my RazorTop. But it’s definitely not for everyone

Never heard of a RazorTop before now. What an interesting product!

It’s the only top I’ve found that suits my needs. I only need a topper one day a week for my hockey gear. My bed will be mostly empty the rest of the time but it gives me the option of having an open bed in a couple minutes if I want. Plus it doesn’t take 15 minutes to convert and I don’t have to drill snaps into my bed like the soft toppers do. Plus it’s lightweight, not permanent, adds lighting, and is made of actual convertible top material instead of cheap vinyl. Plus made in USA

Raptor was supposed to come with a dual intake system but they didn’t have development time to make it happen. I believe what they wanted was dual airboxes and that’s why. Alternator was supposed to be moved up higher too for better longevity with water fording.

Most aftermarket airboxes are a gimmick, similar to "cold air intake". They are generally just a filter that filters less. The only way to increase airflow is a filter with more surface area, or a less dense filter that impedes the air less because it filters less.

There are some arguments to materials/dry filter/oiled filter, but at the end of the day most common kits are a waste of money.

This specific kit could actually be good (assuming more filter surface area over stock), but I would have to compare it to the stock filter, which I haven't found many specs on.

According to the video this increases surface area by 50%. It sounds like it’s pretty effective. I looked up the cost though, and you are not getting your money’s worth for it. It goes for $1300 US before shipping.

Ops, I should have watched the whole video. Definitely not enough HP/Torque gained for that price though.

Would be interesting to see some Dyno pulls to see when the stock setup becomes a restriction.

On its own, probably not. But if you’re to the point of doing a stage 2 setup with Intercooler and downpipes, I could see this being useful. I just want it for the noise.

Received a txt from Ford today that my ranger build date has been moved from Sept 18 to Oct 2. Maybe Ill get it this year....maybe..

im looking to add this to my raptor, hopefully they repond quickly with the shipping costs to the US

I know the gains would be minimal, but there is not much you can bolt on to the raptor for performance anyway
