Overheard a guy at Home Depot say cold air intakes are a waste on these trucks

I was grabbing some supplies for a fence job and this dude in line was telling his buddy that CAIs basically do nothing for the 5.0. He said the stock box flows fine until you're pushing 500+ horsepower. That got me thinking because I was about to drop $400 on one for my 2018 XLT. My buddy put one on his 2020 and swears he felt a difference but maybe it's just the sound. Anyone else hear conflicting opinions on this? I'm wondering if I should just save that cash for a tuner instead.

lol you're right about the sound being the real upgrade, my '19 felt snappier even if it's just placebo.

My $400 CAI just made my wallet lighter and my engine louder.
