New Air Box

[Sleach]

I’ve got a big box, yes I do! I’ve got a big box how ‘bout you !?!
Looks fantastic!!!
My butt dyno says it feels like it winds up faster and launches a hair quicker. It looks like the air/fuel ratio is a little leaner. But I don’t have a logger, just looking at it on my gauges.
Just the aesthetics is worth the price. Makes it look much more like a performance engine. Next step, the pipes this weekend.

Extremely well built. Aluminum construction. Easy install.
the air inlet is bolted on so if you needed to you could probably design and 3d print a different one to suit your needs. But I think it could benefit from a big mouth scoop in the grill

Looks clean, I like it. There was a process west thread a little while back. I would probably go for the transmission cooler.

I would love to get process west stuff but it's just too early in the game. I need to see what's in store for our NA market.

Companies liks Cobb, aFe, mishimoto and AEM have already confirmed they are in the works on ranger performance parts.

So for those reasons, I'm out .

Too each their own. I’ve been looking to the Aussies and South Africans because the Ranger Raptor is THEIR performance truck. It was literally designed and built by our cousins down under. So I feel they have a lot more pride in this vehicle than our American companies will have. I’ve been waiting for this performance Ranger since the gen1 Raptor. Check out the YouTube videos and it shows you their pride in this “Ute” . They’ve already done the hard work and research and I don’t mind paying them for their hard work that others are going to copy and find ways to make cheaper (ie thermo plastic moldings). The one thing I definitely am not paying is a $6k premium on exhaust. Dynomotive down under has an awesome exhaust system but I think we might be able to do it a little cheaper.

Well I know process west has some good products but just my opinion on waiting to see what our own market has to offer.

I hold no bias to any brand except for AWE. I have the exhaust from them on my Focus RS . Can confirm they are making one for the ranger raptor. (I asked already )

I also see some hesitancy in some to get performance parts as it could void some warranties. Ford Performance has yet to release their tune for the ranger so excited to see what they have.

Nothing against the ranger market in AU. There are too many factors that come into play from their rangers being build in Thailand or different emissions regulations. As you know they have strict regulations in AU.

If it's anything other than performance parts, than that's another story.

I really like it, but I dont understand the metal construction. Why make something that retains heat and gets hotter, instead of abs or even carbon fiber?

I think it's just aesthetics. Years ago I changed out my Focus RS CAI for a Mountune that was aluminum. It looked cool and have me a little more hp ratings.

Would love so see an abs or aluminum version but I can only assume it will be pricey. Carbon fiber - ?

This one looks nice!

Wow. I've owned several Porsche and BMW's over the years and I always thought their aftermarket parts were expensive. Not anymore. I'm blown away with the price on some of these parts. $1,800-$2,000 for an air intake??? Give me a break. Those Fabulous parts look awesome but $900 for 4" exhaust tips? Perch Collars for $475?? Am I alone in thinking these aftermarket prices are crazy? I'm hoping the US aftermarket picks up and does better on the pricing.

That one looks fricking awesome, but at $2k, it’s a little pricey!

 

[ShadeTree]

I agree that it looks great, however many studies have shown that CAIs provide very little, if any, benefit. They look great, they sound good, but actual power to the ground is barely measurable. So, it depends on your motivation and wallet.

That one looks fricking awesome, but at $2k, it’s a little pricey!

Around $1300.00. US dollars.

Any noticeable difference in induction noise? Enclosed more efficient for sure but assuming that cuts down on a lot of the induction sound…

 

[Rabbit9]

Around $1300.00. US dollars.

Once you add in the shipping charge, you’re easily over $1500, so it only costs 4X as much as it should!
I think I’ll wait around a couple of months for the S&B CAI.

 

[RANGER/HOBB]

I agree….whole heartedly.
