I’ve had my 2024 Maverick XLT Tremor for over a month now and I am still thoroughly enjoying it. Love most of the noises it makes so far (weed whacker exhaust, heat shield rattle, and GDI noises aside). It’s hilariously laggy if you’re looking for a little and just getting it to close the veins is pretty satisfying. I’ve had Mazda’s 2.5L GDi Turbo in a Mazda 6 which was very quiet but with just a drop in AEM DryFlow filter would kinda make the engine liven up a bit. Also, the compressor noises (not just the woosh and hiss but the whine) became more apparent. That engine was fully recirculated and cooled so almost no fun noises unless you rolled down the window and listened closely.

As for my question, what is everyone’s experiences with intakes or box filters. Is there a non-oil based box filter that is generally seen as the one to get for the 2.0 EB? And do they improve the sound inside the car at all? As for performance getting more out of the bottom end of the rev range is always welcome, but I’m not going to be racing anyone.
