Well I got bored and fabbed up a cold air for my truck, I also built a heat shroud but the paint wasn't dry so I'll install it tomorrow and post pics.
I threw the Magnaflow sticker on just because it looked plain

 

if you dont mind my askin, what in the world did you use? The only thing I can come up with (in my head) is some pvc pipe, and some pvc couplers and an open element.

 

Hi & welcome.

Do your engine (and yourself) a favour.

1. Remove it.
2. Put the stock intake back on.
3. Do some reading on the risks of modding the intake on 04+ engines.
4. Hints for Search function: lean conditions (with no CEL set).
5. Another hint - MAF transfer function.
6. Good luck.

 

And then again !!!!!!

You certainly have not done your homework here...You are flirting with disaster ....You need to do a search on 2004 and later 5.4 3V and pay special attention to the wording "LEAN CONDITIONS"...

 

says he has a 06

 

Which is 04 and newer lol

 

I am not sure where to begin...

R&D...
I don't know...

 

So what is everyone saying? That a new intake is bad. The reason I ask is that I was just told by the local shop that I will void my warrenty if I install any thing with an oil recharged kit like K&N. I would like to have one but!!!!!!
I have an 06 FX4 SCAB Any one with an Idea on this

 

All I am saying is... lets see how much before and after data we get.... nothing wrong with tryin something... I have flowbenching background... so maybe I wound a little tighter than some....

 

i'd love to the see air fuel numbers on this on a dyno run-his idea is good but i can't agree more- take that thing off for the life of the engine till ya see what the air -fuel ratio is across the board-phil

 

In case you don't know how to use the search here's a quick summary of why people are telling you to do some research.

In the '04 and up F150s there have been many cases where the truck runs lean directly from the factory. Running lean means there is too much air (or not enough fuel, depending how you look at it) in the engine for it to function properly. By adding a CAI (cold air intake, essentially what you've put on your truck) you run the risk of leaning out your Air to Fuel Ratio even more. This can result in higher temperatures in the engine and can result in serious engine damage.

Most of the aftermarket intakes you see for sale have been tested and are designed with that problem in mind. Some intakes, like the 3.25" and 3.5" AirForceOne require special tuning to the truck's computer to add more fuel to compensate for the additional air that's now able to enter the engine.

If you leave your intake on without taking it to be dyno tested, you run the risk of destroying your new truck. It ain't worth it to pick up 5HP.

Good luck!

that looks sweet, I read in another thread that as long as the intake tube is no more than 3" you won't need a tuner to change the A/F ratio.

 

Not to mention an exaust sticker on the intake...

 

Not quite - a drastic change in the intake configuration can still be cause for concern.
It's also MAF placement that is crucial. It looks like he also moved the MAF? Help me out here..
Best to go get the air/fuels measured....

 

if that's the case it'll be a while before I start modding my truck, might as well throw everything on at once and go from there
