Just the tube
Recently I installed just the tube. I haven't replaced the filter yet, but I'm planning to. There's more engine sound, in a good way. I would agree that there seems to be a performance improvement. Big things I noticed: one seems to pull to about 6k where before it seemed to fall...
Good in the winter
Been driving mine all winter so far. Switch to traction mode and drive on. A couple weeks ago a Dodge 4wheel drive took out my headlight and grill surround when he lost it trying to pass me on an icy road. JERK! He got the worst of it. So it's usually all about how you drive...
Wow
Oftentimes I don't like new designs until they grow on me. The exception for me was the 2015. As soon as I saw one, I wanted one. I think the current design is tough to improve on. The 2018 doesn't do it for me.

Tough to see
That crack would be tough to see from under the car. Bet it would leak a good amount. I recently had an o-ring type gasket start leaking under the oil filter housing on my wife's BMW. Man did it make mess, and it took me a few weeks to find it. Fix was a $9 gasket and a $45 socket...
He's correct
RonStang is correct, either the FPP or the Steeda with the cowl brace would be better and stiffer. Mine was just a fun project and has minimal real impact to performance, not unlike many things that we do to our cars. Besides... who doesn't like eye candy? ;)

Another option
I added this one that I found on ebay for $40. I had to make some new aluminum plates to make it fit. Can't really say it makes any difference, but it was fun messing around under the hood.

Just hit 36K on my 2015 EB Premium. Had 13K when I purchased in June 2016. Promptly put 4600 on it driving to Las Vegas and back. FYI, averaged 32mpg on the trip.

It's a great feature for getting in/out in a two car garage as well. You really can't open the door as far as you think with that pointy body line. :)

Hi Folks,
Dressed up my Ecoboost a little. Added a MMR pulley and an Edelbrock breather with red silicon hose to the blowoff valve. I added an Offenhauser breather to the front of the engine to cover up the ugly mounting bracket. It really doesn't do anything but that. Not sure if I'll keep it...
Great trip, nice pics. My wife & I drove from Ohio to Las Vegas in June/July. Took 80 on the way out and 40 on the way back. Very comfortable drive. Averaged 32.2mpg.
