Ford F150 - wtb: Factory Intake

Hey folks,

I need to get my hands on a factory intake. When I bought my truck it had a homemade intake made out of PVC and I want to get rid of it. I see a ton of guys on here with CAI so someone must have the old one taking up space somewhere.

Let me know

Pictures soon to come...

Sounds like someone MADE a CAI with just buying a replacement filter and making the intake tubes from pvc.

Heya, I just installed a short ram intake so I no longer need my old intake parts. Since we have similar model 97's I'm assuming they're what you're looking for.

I'll get some pics posted in a few minutes.

Here are some pics of the new parts (while I look for my camera):

thats a very nice set up i was thinking like white pvc piping!
keep it.. and find a filter from the K&N catalog that will fit it..

get rid of that autozon filter that acutally doesnt flow like they claim.. i mean just from the size i can tell you it flows as if you had a stock paper filter..

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Just trying to figure some way to make a heatshield to go underneath the filter.

I know injen makes a heatshield, but not sure how effective that really is.

all that thing is doing is sucking in your HOT engine air, a real CAI is an inclosed system, you get better performance from the inclosed systems like S&B or Volant CAI's. Hot air will kill your performance.

I was going to build an enclosure for it, until I read another person that had a high end tuner with temp readings.

According to his data, there was a 2 degree variance sans enclosure.

So, while in theory, if I were sitting still for a long time, then yes, heat would be an issue. However, since I'll probably be moving more than sitting, it won't be sucking in HOT air.

That is unless someone has some evidence that is non-product promotional data? I'm open to scientific proof

Once I replace that filter with something better, then I'll revisit the enclosure again.

Yeah I've been paying attention to that guy's posts over the last few weeks and have come to the conclusion that he blows a lot of hot air.
