Not powerful or upgradeable enough. You're better off getting a different Cold air kit and tune and JBA equal length headers, much more power.

Has anyone had problems with the dealer and after market, non Ford intakes and tuners? How difficult is it for the average driver to change the tune for "dealer work" if needed? I have never dealt with tuners and the such.

If you can use a screwdriver and push a couple of buttons in sequence then there is no problem at all.
Changing intakes and using a handheld tuner is as easy as that.
Takes but a few minutes to go from stock to mod and viceversa.

No problem there at all for install then. Is there any evidence in the computer of using the tuner once you go back to stock?
As long as you erase the tune before you come in we can't see it at the dealer level.. The time you need to worry is if you blow your motor then a FSE may be sent down and if there is a tune in there they can see that.
It's rumored that they can see erased tunes but I am not sure of that, from what I have seen they look for signs of removed mods.
Yeah, a pristine stock airbox and intake tube in a dusty engine bay would be suspect I guess
So kkdougboy, from what you wittnessed, the ford intake performed as good as the rest? I was thinking about the ford intake with the steeda intake tube. Lets face it guy's, a cone filter is a cone filter, any real difference would have to be in the tube. As far as the ford intake, it's a cone filter with heatsheild and tune, throw on a steeda tube and it should perform as well as the rest, at least in therory.
