Intake Tube

[Jack.]

Was scrolling around PPE’s website and came across this: https://ppepower.com/collections/fo...take-tube-2023-2026-ford-super-duty-6-8l-7-3l

$399 for an intake tube is insane, even if it’s the nicest carbon fiber around.

But it did get me thinking about how all CAI’s for the 7.3l keeps the 2 resonators on the intake tube. I think the K&N deletes them IIRC.

I really like the idea of removing those, for flow and for noise reasons. I know we are talking minimal gains here, but I enjoy tinkering with my truck.

I love the idea of PPE’s product, just wish it wasn’t carbon or $400.

What are y’all’s thoughts?

I’ve considered this myself but can’t justify the price. I have magnaflow exhaust with all resonators removed and also five star tune.

It seems like a no brainer to offer a cheaper plastic version. It is odd that they had it developed and went with such a pricey material for something that is compatible with the less common motor.

I wish I could just get the rubber/silicone parts, and I’m sure I could find a good substitute for the carbon tube.
