I've been running with this mod for 2 months on my '02 5.4L Expy. Seat-of-the-pants throttle response seemed better. But it made no difference in 0-60 performance. Fuel mileage got about 5% worse on average. I did reset the ECU each time. I switched back and forth twice, just to see if it was repeatable.

I had mine for probably 2 years plus some. It was okay, but the PVC pipe I used cracked length wise. I was given an AirRAID cold air tube for Christmas and went ahead with the upgrade. No complaints with the Gotts mod aside from finding 3" DWV is next to impossible near me, and the PVC, like I said, fractured really easily. (No impact, it just cracked).

 

I initially posted this under the Tech Article section for this mod, but I thought it would get more response from here. Sorry about the double posting.

I am attempting to do this mod now finally. Truck is a 2000 F150 XLT 5.4L 4x4. I bought it used many years ago and it already had the K&N kit on it. I never liked how it sucks the heat from the engine compartment. Living in Arizona I notice a performance difference during the summer. Also I don't think it filters as good as they say, but that's another topic. Since I did not have the stock intake, I bought one off of eBay from what I thought was another 2000 F150 5.4L. What I got was the intake from a 1997. My question is does anyone happen to remember the inside diameter measurement of the filter housing after removing the snorkel? These different years appear to have different size openings.

This is what I received which looks like what I've also seen in pictures of the V6. As you can see the snorkel connects on the outside of the housing.




Based on pictures from others performing this mod, this is what I should have.



This piece snaps into the inside opening of the housing.


My concern is that the opening on the one I received which I measured to have an inside diameter of 2 5/8":




and the opening on this:



do not have the same inside diameter. If I go with the one I received I would be choking the engine. What tipped me off was when you connect the 3 inch rubber coupler to the housing and PVC pipe that goes into the fender, there is a good 1/4" to 3/8" gap all the way around to seal off on the filter side and is just way too loose in my opinion to use. The VIN number this intake came off of was on the receipt. It shows it's from a 1997 V8, 1FTEX18L3VKC57705. Maybe the difference is due to when Ford went to the PI heads? Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Just wanted to follow up in case this will help anyone later. After driving with this mod for several months, I wish I had done it a long time ago. There is a very noticeable difference between this mod and my old K&N kit especially when it is hotter out. There is no bogging down until the truck gets moving because of the intake pulling in hot air from under the hood. Throttle response seems more snappy.



There is an inside diameter difference as you can see in the picture above. If I remember right the smaller was 2 5/8" and the larger was almost 3 1/4". I think the smaller one came from a 1997 or 1998. The larger one I installed in my truck came off of a 2001.

Props to Gotts2BMe for figuring this mod out.
