Is there such a thing?
Everyone says the stock intake is fine so why does it need to be replaced for the tune.
Would be nice to keep warranty and get some low end torque from the tune.
Yes I know a local tuner or PBD, etc will do it but no warranty.

well, ecoboost we use the same housing, we just drop a higher flower filter. id recommend doing the same if you did that route, I have both AFE and KN filters, and I felt the AFE>>KN, larger pleats, much better put together. not as messy with glue all over the place. it will need a high flow filter to let it breathe I guarantee it

Honestly you wont see a big difference. If you are worried about warranty i'd opt for a drop in air filter and just enjoy the sport modes. When you are ready to jump ship from the warranty it would be time to go with a Lund Racing or Palm Beach Dyno custom tune and some bolt ons like a cold air intake, exhaust, and maybe a ported manifold. We sell everything you need for your car here at www.lethalperformance.com

I have the Ford performance tune in my 19gt, and it woke it up. Also put 4.09s in and that really woke it up. And all under warranty!

Interesting enough I recently went from K&N to AFE in the oem box. Have noticed a slight increase in iats between the two filters with no other changes. When I say slight maybe 3-5 degrees more on avg. My only thought is the material used. I'd still recommend either over the oem filter and keeping stock box. Just an observation.

Have you drove a Lund or PBD tuned car before? Makes the FP tune feel stock.
The beauty of the FP Tune (I have the Power pack 2 on my '16) is the warranty stays intact. Yes you can get an aftermarket tune that gives more power but if there is an issue you will be fighting Ford Corp for warranty work.

Now that my warranty is up I am going to look at other tunes that utilize my GT350 MAF and CAI. Think of the Power Packs as a stepping stone.

I void all my warranties almost weeks after I purchase a car. I don't really keep anything longer than a year because I like trying new things. Putting a custom tune on a car is almost a necessity because of how much it changes the driving experience. You'll always catch me smiling ear to ear on my work commute! Certainly give us a call here at www.lethalperformance.com 561.753.8105 so we can discuss your goals and recommend which mods would be perfect for your application. We will set you up with the best products at the best prices.

The FP tune lets you change your ratio to 4.09 with out an aftermarket tune?

As of right now, the only Gen 3 FP tune is the one with the GT350 CAI (equivalent to the PP2). There's no tune only option (equivalent to the PP1) yet, and they are still not sure if they will have one.

That's great for you that you can do that, especially working at a performance shop where you can get new parts a lot cheaper than everyone else. But not everyone is in the same boat where they can pop an engine and drop 10k out of pocket a few weeks after purchasing a 45k car.

Because it’s breathing easier I’m assuming. I have both can put both out for comparison. The kn had tighter pleats, more of them, bugs etc was smooshed into the crevices such a pain to clean.
the afe has larger grooves, less pleats, but you can clean the grooves easier. My car instantly felt better, and I hear the intake so much more sooooking. I keep kn as I will use it during the cleaning of afe
