Before I pick it up I was wondering if there is anything that will blow this intake away and make me not want to get the K&N?

It's the 2514-4 model number and its for a 1997 5.4L

I will also be adding an exhaust system and tuner to supplement the intake after x-mas

 

try the "gotts intake" it'll be cheaper and work better. I sold my K&N and ran the gotts for a few months
