Is your filter the round one???

I'm pulling the complete factory housing from my Expedition, I believe if your takes the round filter, mine is the same as your F150. I'm installing a Lightning filter setup to go with the blower system I'm installing.

No pics yet lol , but I'll get some next time I'm in the shop. I made one somewhat like the Air Force one design. That design generates th most HP, I figure thats why Troyer sells it..

I used schedual 40 3" PVC - One 3x3 Fernco attatching this to the MAF housing and re-used the rubber with the IAC & Breather ports that connect to the throttle body - It adapt's perfectly to the 3" PVC..
