and i must say it worked ..i def feel a lil more from a dead stop if i romp on the gas...and now i can here the intake suck air more....the peice is restrictive so i just got a flat screwdriver and popped it out...no cutting involved

 

I'm headed outside right now to do the same. It really pissed me off today when some Dodge Ram-diot took me off the line . Fortunately I beat him to the next light, but a little more on the bottem end will be nice.

 

Uh oh, you let someone beat you off the line in city traffic, what will you do?! :P

 

let us know what you think..i would like to get a second opinion...theres no doubt there is a difference but i would like to hear someone else say it

 

Umm...and a Dodge no less

 

I removed mine when my truck was a week old. I noticed a small difference.

 

Stomp my feet while covering my ears and closing my eyes. Anymore stupid questions?

 

He got about a 5-10 ft. jump on me but I took him shortly after. I should add that I was hauling about 500-600 lbs. at the time. The distance traveled was slightly less than 1/8 mile.

 

You talking about the snorkle part that connects to the fender? If so arent you now sucking in all the ht air under the hood vers from fender??

 

how about some pics sounds like the "gotts" would kinda work on the '09 trucks, just revamped like for the 3 valve 5.4's

 

ill post a pic later if i can....the actual snorkel has a small opening in the front of it...restricting airflow since the opening in the airbox is prob twice the size....i thought the same thing about the warm air being sucked in but on the sides of the snorkel there are holes all around it (think wiffleball) .So if by design the engineers put holes on the sides, they dont mind if air gets sucked in from around it....

 

Ok gotchat, the stock intake on my 08 f50 if you look at the bottom of the tube it is like that. I have a volant cai and was putting my old one from garage to shed and saw that and was like wow.

Had to replace the battery in my son's car today, so while the toolbox was out, I loosened up the airbox and popped the snorkel out.
didn't seem to be as restrictive as I thought it would be, but will see how it does tomorrow.
(Only drove it a couple of blocks afterward).
Would like to add something to attach it to the fender opening, but don't know what to use yet. (almost cut off a chunk of the extension tube from my leaf blower, as it was a perfect fit to the opening on the air box).
