Intercooler/CAC boots
I have a 2001 f250 7.3 and I had started to notice I wasn't making as much boost I thought I should have been. I looked around and found a tear in the cold side CAC boot.
My question is what is the best option for replacing it, something like RiffRaff or oem?
Also should I look at replacing all the boots or just the two up top?
Thanks for any input

I have a question about the boots as well. I'm also in the market for new ones. I know riff raffs boots are well received. But as I have more time than money right now I set out to see if I could find a better deal. I can't, they're easily the best deal out there, better AND cheaper than OEM.
But my question is this, they are still silicon hose, how do they hold up to the oil? Silicon is awesome in water and coolant applications but it's reputation for handling oil is less than stellar. One of the competitors boots claim to have a flouropolymer inner lining to prevent oil damage to the silicon. Are riff raffs constructed similarly? Or is it a non issue because the boots will fatigue faster than the oil can degrade it?
Ideally I'd like to keep the conversation to the boots, there are many threads to discuss the pros and cons of ccv reroutes.

The newer boots that are made now equal much less oil, dirt and grime on top of your engine and in the engine bay. The silicone boots of old let off a fine mist of oil that coats everything under the hood and the engine. Well worth the money and effort to switch them out if you work on your own truck.

Not sure if you have heard about the boots from Riffraff, but the gentlemen that runs that superior company sells the highest quality boots for the best prices. Riffraff is the only establishment I use, that I never look at prices when ordering. How great would this country be if every company cared about quality and their customers like Riffraff does!

The two little guys go between the intake spider and the intake plenums in the valley. The stock boots are ORANGE in these locations. This is the air that is returned from the CAC, just prior to entering the heads.
