The Raptor R's lungs are plagued with restriction, especially when modified. With ample room in the engine bay, SPE went to work designing the best intake we could. The intake design optimizes air flow at all vehicle speeds, even at idle. Increasing horsepower and that blower noise we all love.
Our main inlet tube is made of genuine 3k twill carbon fiber manufactured in billet molds and then processed in an autoclave. All excess resin is pulled out under a vacuum creating a strong lightweight part. It has a large 4.5" opening on the throttle body side, terminating to a large 6" opening for the filter engineered into the best possible shape from point A to B with no weird flat clearance spots. It fills the void and uses all the space provided.
Couplers are available for factory and aftermarket throttle bodies. The blue or red oiled filter is a massive 6 x 11" cone, offering a huge surface area for the best possible use of the space under the hood. The box/shield design went through many renditions during the design phase, including a closed box, a box with an open lid, and other simple shield designs. After gathering data, we took the best aspects of each and got to work. Our shield/box design helps eliminate the static air issues of a closed box, which funnels from an inlet in the grill that is smaller than the throttle body itself. It also eliminates the heat issues of a surround shield by having a floor to help deflect radiant heat. With all of these aspects taken into account, our box allows for maximum inlet flow from the front of the car while still keeping unwanted heat out!
The box is coated in a textured powder coat. The box is mounted with Billet studs that pop into the factory isolators and are adjustable via slots in the shield to allow movement to get that perfect fit.
This intake increases the blower noise significantly over the factory intake and most of the other intakes available. The sound changes the driving experience.
