Is an Intake worth it with an E85 Flex Tune?

[Scooter MGee]

Down and dirty right to the question.....I am waiting on a Lund E85 Flex Tune for my '20 GT. Since Lund offers an updated tune for up to 6 months from purchase for small mods would installing a CAI make any difference? I am interested in the Injen Evo 9202 intake

Save your money and get a drop-in.

I already have an AirAid dry drop in filter.

You won't see much of a difference at all. Lund will tell you the same thing.

Figured as much since the 2018+ OE intakes are said to be very good. Just wasn't sure with having a tune.

I'm waiting on the E85 flex tune from Lund. I'm not too keen on making the car louder with headers/exhaust. I have the adjustable exhaust and that is enough for me. This is a daily driver.

I'm building funds for a supercharger.

Sorry for the noob question, but does free flowing just refer to no cats or resonators or does it also technically mean LTH+no cats or resonators?

"Free flowing exhaust" refers to catless which is for off-road use only and is NEVER to be used on public roadways

It’s worth it. I have a injen intake and Lund tune. I will try to find my dyno results and link them here.

Below is the Lund e85, intake, and Xpipe.
Best run was 470hp but not this sheet

Lund e85, intake, Xpipe stock tires spinning bad 2200da

Xpipe intake and stock tires dead hook (around 2100 da)

Save your cash and dont bother with the intake.

Go for after market headers. You can have those fitted and keep the stock '18 exhaust. The stock Ford headers are smaller.

Intake replacement is purely for aesthetics
