K&N intake for 2024 Ecoboost

[Slothman]

Saw this the other day. K&N claims ~20hp/tq gains. might be interested in picking this up for my 2.3

@Slothman .... if that number is correct that would be nice. Respectfully, if you haven't had a K&N before they do take "proper" maintenance or they are worse than oem.

I want to see the dyno numbers before I'd even consider buying one, even if it did fit the 2024/2025. I 'might' believe 1 or 2 increase of each, but would still want to see the dyno graphs.

No way I would also need to see that 4-5 at the absolute most

Dyno charts at the link above...

If anyone installs this, give as a butt dyno report!

Mashing X to doubt the listed numbers. The EB isn't restricted so much that this change would grab like a 7% increase in power, UNLESS it's intentional by Ford and I don't think they'd do that lightly.

$450 plus tax isn't nothing either. Good deal if the numbers are real...

Further suspect, and pls someone dig into it to tell me I'm wrong, but 4th on the 10 speed (given there's no manual option) isn't 1:1 so the charts just seem...suspect.

1:1 on this trans is SEVENTH gear.

Has anyone purchased and tested this yet?

I have Installed one on mine... (butt)dyno results are inconclusive. However, the inlet air temps drop very quickly as soon as car is moving, as opposed to taking a minute or two with the stock intake... so that appears to be a plus.

I hear you, and I appreciate the info. Have you noticed a difference in power?

I had a stock intake with a K&N drop in and then installed the K&N intake.

From stock the drop in took off .1 s average 0-60 averaged over 5 runs

From the drop in the K&N intake took off .2 s , so .3 over stock, averaged after 5 runs.

I don’t have access to an dyno but the K&N intake makes nice induction noises and you can hear the BOV better.

I’ve noticed the same. My intake temps seem to be + 2 or 3 degrees over ambient . When in a drive thru I noticed they got up to the 150s. Driving tenth of a mile got them back to ambient

The dyno numbers might be on that page, I couldn't find them. But I did notice this on the Botton of the dyno pop-up (see below).

Adding just an CAI as step in increasing HP/TQ and yielding the numbers shown, is a shear fallacy! The same can be said about a cat-back exhaust. Yes you do get some gains, but almost always it is at the very top end! Even if you apply a Ford Perforce Tune first (if it were available), I don't think those gains are still viable. The screen shot tells it all!

@Alan Applegate ...... 100% agree with your opinion. From family dyno experiences - over 50 years, we had our own dyno -there are NO easy/cheap HP gains. Noticeable HP with add-ons is a myth. It costs serious money to get serious HP and it costs a LOT of money per HP at that. If you want looks and sometimes a bit of "noise" by using aftermarket exhausts and air induction kits with fancy see-through air box tops and colored air filters - so be it - nothing wrong with a bit of "bling" and IMO "bling" is what it is. Hey, I don't mind bling - after all, I did buy one of those fancy stick-on nameplates from Anchor Room for my strut tower brace! LOL BUTTTTTTT - If you want dyno-proven HP of any significance - AND - at a meaningful tag on your power band, you WILL have to take the elastic band of the roll and start whipping thousand dollar bills off it.
