2017 Cold Air intake for 6.2L
I know that the new super duty are so new there are not a ton of things available. I am looking for a cold air intake for my F350 with 6.2L gas engine. Have found one for Diesel (should have purchased that instead) but cannot find anything for the gas. Anyone have any ideas?

The 2017 6.2 is an all new air intake design, so I'm guessing it may still be awhile. I actually really like the factory setup. It has anew large cylinder type filter, and has the air intake tube in the grill now. I don't really know what an aftermarket would do other than make noise and look good under the hood.

I was investigating the air intake on my truck the other day when I was swapping headlight bulbs and I am guessing you won't see much improvement with a new intake.
The intake tube is already at the front passenger side of the engine bay just under the hood.
I am guessing the only worthwhile improvements would be the filter -> engine tube that has a bunch of extra pockets to help reduce engine noise and a new high performance filter. This looks very similar to the new style gm intake system and dyno results didn't show vast improvements with a complete intake compared to just replacing with filter and that filter -> engine tube.

Many of the cold air kits I've seen are anything but cold. Many do an insufficient job sealing against the hood making them, post radiator air, hot air intakes. The past owner of our 2005 Excursion Diesel put one on and I wish he hadn't. Loud turbo noise, OK I kinda like it, and bad sealing against the hood. Does it work, I guess so. I'd prefer to replace a large Donaldson dry filter that I know will never dust the turbo, than clean a K&N that I have no confidence in at all.

I remember all the noise when the 6.4 came out in 2007 for the early launch of the 2008 SD. A bunch of people were clamoring for a cold air kit, whereas the stock unit took cold air and the Donaldson filter would hold over 6 lbs of dirt. Bunches of early hot air kits were installed with inferior filters and many turbos were dusted. Only a handful were actually cold air intakes, Banks being one of them. I stayed with stock . . .

My experience with these on gas motors wasn't great. Actually decreased the mileage slightly without upping the performance.
