It does help some, but any C&L/JLT or Diablo/SCT combo will be better. If you want a no hassle way to run and intake and a tune and still keep your warranty with no questions asked, it's the only way.

Another warranty concern. Any of the aftermarket CAI's & tunes can be swapped out for stock in about 15 minutes and, as far as everyone here has stated, the dealer will be no wiser...

You would have to blow an engine, like send a rod through the side or something, in orderto have Ford spend $$$ to fly a specialist out to the door and examine your computer. A regular dealer will not have any way of telling that you were flashed before with a different CAI installed.

I actually had the same question. It lists for about $700 which is alot but I'm willing to pay that to have it done and approved by ford. I realize it's easy to swap out a CAI and tunebut I have no desire to do that so it's worth the $$ to me.
Does anyone have this set up?

Yes, read howarmat's link. The FRPP CAI is no "bang"-for-the-buck...

Been there, done that. Save some cash and get a real performance tune.
