Top 3 Cold Air Intakes For 5.0 F-150

When adding horsepower and performance to your truck, many truck owners gravitate toward a cold air intake as one of their first mods. A cold air intake not only frees up horsepower and torque, it can also upgrade the looks of your engine. A cold air intake takes the place of your factory intake tubing and replaces it with a more efficient design to allow faster air delivery to your engine. This results in an increase in horsepower and torque that is dyno proven by the manufacturers. With so many different cold air intakes, we have compiled a list of the top 3 brands of cold air intakes for your 5.0 F-150.

Do I Need A Tune For My Cold Air Intake?

This is a very common question when it comes to adding a cold air intake to the 5.0 F-150s. Many of our intakes are no-tune-required, meaning you can simply bolt it up and go. However, if you are looking to get the most power and performance from your cold air intake, a tune will certainly help. Tuning helps your computer understand what changes you have made to your engine so that it can compensate for your air/fuel ratios accordingly. Refer to our product pages for each cold air intake for more information on tune specifications.
