Velossa Tech Big Mouth?

[Shandyman]

I recently heard about these! Yay or nay? I plan on installing the ford performance kit with the rousch cold air intake kit with the afe scoop! Is the velossa tech a waste of $ or beneficial?

Massive gain cause buying it will decrease the weight being carried.....your wallet will be much lighter !!!
Also, the sucking sound of the massive amount of air being taken in will be music to your ears....will drown out the sobbing from when the bill comes in for a useless piece of formed plastic....

Tough, but fair.

I have jokes, but I'm kinda burnt out from weekends chores.


No, it doesn't do ****. You'd be better off just removing the rubber seals off that corner of the hood.
also you're taking away airflow to the radiator by having this over priced plastic piece there.

Ok thanks for your insights! Is the afe scoop and the roush cold air intake worth it?

I won't comment on the intake, but the afe scoop being worth it? No but I will say based on the pictures I've seen, the unit is indeed larger and probably will draw in some additional air.

You'll want to get a tune after these upgrades cause as stand alone, won't do much. Intakes without a tune just give you that woosh sound everyone likes, but no real gains.

Can’t you just turn up the in cab whoosh volume in Forscan?

Long story short:
Bigmouth::it’s the closest thing to ram air I’ve seen, but I prefer to keep the radiator, intercooler, and hvac coil area free of such items. (Important to me, doesn’t mean it’s what’s more important to you.)
Afe:: color choices? bigger opening up top but same opening connected to the air box.(still kinda cool.)
Roush:: it’s Roush so that’s neat, cool window, I think gets rid of the ribby stock pipe. But pretty expensive but pretty sure it helps the same as a quality less expensive option…

::::Rambling warning:::
((Steps on top of milk crate))
The theory is directing cooler than engine bay air towards the area that seems to be hidden away “guarded” I guess you might say because above the headlight under the hood… I agree with not blocking the rad.. don’t think it would be that big of a issue for daily street driving I suppose.. but these hoods do not close tightly to restrict or deflect enough air away from the area to cause a issue. If you’re looking for like a Ram Air type thing I suppose this is your current best bet, but some see it as a money maker, not a must have performance mod. Does get some wow factor from some folks too so… do what you want to.
The aFe looks cool and comes in red/black/blue which I’d like a red one myself. But it still goes to the stock air box while the original port goes to and is the same size… that to me would be the area to address. To get more air in there faster. I figure that’s been designed large enough to properly suit the turbo…
I’m just a simple man and do not claim to be smart, but I do try to sometimes use shotgun accurate logic ?. To help myself properly spend money to get what I want that provides benefit.. unless I think it’s so cool I gotta have it. Also I’m not building a Dragster or peak performance vehicle. Smooth inner piping and minimal bends better? Probably, that’s what we tried to make happen when I was installing ductwork doing HVAC..this is automotive performance fancies.. not directly related, but it makes sense to me (Smart people might be laughing at me tho.)
Laminar air flow I believe is better compared to turbulent air flow in this situation… which I think is why from the filter to the turbo inlet the smooth insides, clean bends, and slightly larger tubing that taper to the turbo inlet (cold side) is more gooder than the stock ribbed pipe… im definitely not as accurate or technical as a lot of these other guys..
Hopefully one of them can give better explanation and let me see just how far off shore i am.?
I’m still gonna get the red aFe thing ?
It’s under hood bling and that’s why I’m getting it, if actual performance gains, that’s a lovely bonus..
Supplying plenty of cooler than engine bay air is the goal I think to improve performance…

I want to be more es smarter, so someone lay it out better. Pretty please.?

Probably could actually.

Since Ford mimicked the Big Mouth on the 6G I suspect there is some benefit. I got better highway mileage with mine.

As for the AfE Magnum I think it's a better quality piece than the OEM horn as a one piece with a larger leading opening rather than a two piece part with obstructions but I never saw any measurable difference in mileage or noise.

My focus wasn't on 'performance' so if that's your goal the money should go elsewhere.

I treat it as cosmetic, really do not think it did anything, if it did it was within margin of error but it looks cool lol

I have this setup on my Ranger and like most CAIs, don’t count on it for a noticeable bump in hp. Same with the aFe Mangum scoop. The real gains come when these two items are part of a complete performance package that also includes pipes, exhaust, and a tune.

I do notice a difference in the sound when I get my foot in it, just as you would on an older car if you switched from a 2 bbl to a 4 bbl carburetor. No noticeable jump, but the sound is there. If I notice any jump at the same time, it’s likely just because I’ve buried the pedal.

With that said, I smile every time I open the hood and see them there - it’s also kind of enjoyable cleaning the Roush filter every oil change. So, yeah, I have a better, more expensive air filter that doesn’t make me go any faster but I sure like the way it looks and sounds.

I like it and Mustang guys dig it when they see it, so maybe it is worth it. ?‍ ?

I have one with the AFE thing. I think gas mileage went up a little. As for power. You are not gonna get more power from a plastic thing. I want more power I will get an F150.

TLDR: I really liked mine, and would buy again.

I've posted my opinions on the Velossatech a few times, but the short version is: I believe I was getting about 1.5-2 more mpg with it. But my driving habits and driving routes for commuting may not be typical of most people. For this thing to function as it was design (ram air), you must be up to speed for it to force air into the intake. It's not going "suck in" air when accelerating. So if you have longer commutes running 55+, I think it's worth it.

The Velossatech does not do anything. Use some common sense and just analyze the design and the airflow from it. If it actually did increase your fuel mileage don’t you think that Ford engineers would be all over it? I had one and I liked the way it looked. But when I actually followed the air path I just laughed. It does direct a tiny bit of airflow but certainly not enough to make any noticeable or measurable difference. Absolutely not going to pick up 1 or 2 mpg.
