Has Anyone Upgraded The Intake on a 5.0? What did you go with and why?

Title says it all. TYIA

I'm not sure anyone makes them for this vehicle. There was a company a few years back but they stopped production.

I'm not looking to do anything crazy, but it looks like there are not even basic mods for this motor. I was looking at intake and possible tune, but nothing else. Can not find anything for the 5.0. Seems to be a decent amount for 3.3T.

Yeah, n/a engines are tough to mod anymore. You just don't gain a ton for the money. Anything turbocharged is the way to go for stuff like that.

Personally, I did the K & N filters on mine and a 2.5" cat back for now. I plan on the GEP tune in the spring time.

Which K&Ns system did you do? Drop in the stock air box? I am a little worried about anything exhaust because I do not want a drone when going down the highway. Let me know about GEP. I have heard about them and they seem to be a good company. The "ram air" 5.0 looks interesting, but looks to be 1st Gen Genesis sedans.

I did the drop in filters for mine. Hyundai did a really nice job on the intake system for these cars IMO so I just spent the $100 to add 5 more HP lol.

The exhaust is great. Still keeps a resonater and straight thru mufflers and steps up to 2.5". No drone at all and a very nice rumble. They sell them on eBay and are stainless steel and are very reasonably priced.
