I role with the stock setup. it IS a factory CAI and works no different than my previous CAI setups. i run a K&N thats the only thing not ford about it.

I think C&L are the best.

I have a JLT. I wouldn't buy it again if I had it to do over. Not because there's anything wrong with it, but because I don't really think there's any performance gain to be had with an intake. Save your money. Buy gears and a tuner.

As other have said, the stock setup is a CAI and not a 1/2 bad one at that. There will little to no gain with any aftermarket setup, most of the eBay cheap ones can actually hurt performance due to the straight same-sized end to end tubing...
