It was going to cost me about $800.00 to have it done. Does that sound about right?
where'd this come from?

From California!

Where else can you pay $800 for the privilege to be converted to a catholic? And the cods are computerized?

Bubba

BTW - OP - you are being bent over - high-flows are only $80 a piece ...

Kevin, yea I've already tried that one, thanks.

I'd like to know about what these other guys are talking about. I reached my hand in the air filter side of the "L" tube but didn't feel anything I could remove....

The intake tube mod is for the 4.6 v8, not applicable to the 5.4's - IIRC.

LOOK!!! What an ugly a$$ color green!!!



If you take one more Fernco like Gott's did and put her on the end of the housing with a piece of 3" schedual 40, it will fit thru the fender converting everything into cold air ..

What a kickarse system that will be..( :

Actually , I made a badder one since lol - Well , it's almost done I should say , I made a couple box type cold air units for the end , not happy with it yet lol.. I finally finished painting the truck though - I'm not doing that again, I've had it with body work - my rockers where shot towards the front - I had to cut em out.. - not fun!!..

I'll show yuh some before and after shots if you wanna checkit out, it turned out decent for the most part.. - Email me..

Hey, you get your freakin tune yet?

I like it seriously !! I didn't think of doing that.. I'm going to give a go since I already have the chit

I sold this one , but have another that I'm going to stick in the housing with that 3" attachment like you did for now.




I made boxes from rubbermaid trash cans from home depot that fit perfect in the corner. I need to get to the salvage yard and pick up some of that door rubber for the tops..

I gurantee you'll like it, it gave me a chit load more throttle response, and alot more power at partial throttle but i am no good at judging WOT gains.
