I was fortunate to have had S&B Filters reach out to me and want to use my 2024 Ranger XLT 2.3L for their new Cold air intake they have coming out within the coming months. The S&B cold air intake looks absolutely immaculate! This thing is huge compared to the stock intake. The engine sounds a little more throatier and the turbo spooling is way louder. Also the throttle response is noticeably better.

Did you test with both the dry and oiled filters? Any noticeable difference? Sound clips?

I only have the oiled but I believe S&B tested with and got sound clips with both filter types. I unfortunately didn't get any sound clips of before so I wouldn't be able to get a good comparison. There is definitely a noticeable difference in both sound and throttle response.

I’m unsure as to if they did a before and after dyno test. They only had it for about 2.5 hours so I believe they just did before & after sound clips and pictures.
 

Maybe

There's actually a good deal of aftermarket out/finalle coming out for the 24s, including multiple cut back exhausts, soon to be 3 different cai to choose from, intercoolers with charge pipes, ect.

Yeah, I've found quite a bit. I was really concerned at first because RR was the cats meow and sucking up all the aftermarket R&D.

So that's your truck in the video they posted? Truck looks nice.

I know the '25 engine was updated but does it have a different air intake?
