Drive drives like drive and sport drives like sport. It’s a true oem feeling upgrade. The shifts are bit crisper and smoother but the delivery is the same except with bit more power. It’s good. So no blips in drive except when u paddle shift down.
I have driven my pp2 in heavy rain and I haven't noticed it get wet myself but I'd wager that Ford did their own testing. It may be practical to buy a reusable dry cotton filter licensed by Ford Performance (the blue airraid one) or similar ones like from amsoil if you're that worried.I'm still doing research on PP2 to make sure I'm comfortable with having an exposed air filter below the vent and found this:
Guess I'm not too worried about it with the drycharger prefilter now. It's all about commiting to the price at this point haha.
PS. I drove in the rain, and did notice that water did go through the vent, and it looks like the water was dripping right where the filter would be.
in some previous years, heat extractors were worse and filters got wet, i.e. 2013-14 GT'S. probably led to more boxed in designs. actually, factory ford cold air box with hi-flow filter works just about as well as many CAI kits. only diff I notice is the use of the ribbed connector (some after market's also use a rib design Shelby included)) and the baffle box design of the Ford tube which does affect the straight line of the air flow. dynos show small differences...I'm still doing research on PP2 to make sure I'm comfortable with having an exposed air filter below the vent and found this:

very Fordish...cost effective, not year specific, one size fits all? "well, just do this to it. oughta work" great, not my first dance. dmanI installed PP2 on my 2017 last night and as I got to the step with the splicing the Evap hose was quite perplexed. Fortunately several posts on this thread note the 2017's are different - but didn't quite clarify how they routed the (not-to-be spliced Evap hose). I called FRPP and they gave me an idea, reminding it's "just a hose" and noting you cannot just cut-out the plastic connector tying the Evap hose to another (behind the stuck on foam wrap). I simply bent the Evap hose, tie it to itself using a zip tie (okay, I used two because I'm that way), then slip it on... easy... no cutting, works great!
So to try and pass on the help, and give back, here is how I routed my (non-spliced for a 2017) Evap hose. It doesn't result in a kink, no lights on the dash, and is not putting tension on the plastic connector on the induction pipe (something I was worried about). Note, at least in my case it does make it so that the intake cover won't fit back down flushly, but at least for me, I plan to leave it off anyway... IMO it looks cool that way, resembling it's big brother (GT350) who's intake I've just pilfered
Welcome any thoughts an comments...
It was somewhat disappointing that I had to find out via the forum, but I'm glad I read it before I took to cutting the Evap hose. They should update their documentation showing the difference....
thanks. if I buy, it would be PP1. already have Airaid package. not looking for HP, more interested in the torque curve for my street car. do you have auto?
I have a manual transmission and while I wasn't expecting supercharger like results the bump is great and it was a fun project. As another note, when tuning the car, it will seem as though it has been possessed, lights flashing, warnings going off on your dash, chimes chiming... it's all normal
My primary motication with pp2 is increased red line. It feels like the engine could go higher rpms even on stock tune. I hit rev limiter a time or two.I have a manual transmission and while I wasn't expecting supercharger like results the bump is great and it was a fun project.

You will be happy with the pp2 tune, it was the best bang for the buck I had so far in my build! I also liked the pp3 but couldn't justify it. Currently I'm debating going FI but my car is so perfectly balanced I'd hate to sacrifice DD or track performance for minus 1 sec or so at the strip.
