I just did exactly that for my 3.5L. I ordered a air box lid and passenger side turbo inlet tube to go along with my RX Monster can. Part #'s and pricing from fordparts.com below.

Turbo Inlet tube: FL3Z9R530C $46.01
Air Box Lid: FL3Z9661A $9.96

Service rep: Excuse me Mr f150 owner. Why is your turbo inlet hose so clean, and the rest of your engine bay is dirty as heck???

Mr f150 owner : ummmmmm...

Yeah, having unmodified parts on hand isn't exactly hiding anything. Engines ain't clean things. This is noticeable.

Are you suggesting a warranty would be voided because someone has clean inlet pipes?

Shouldn't be a warranty issue to begin with...Ford should welcome owners that install these kits! But, I'm with you [MENTION=202222]JHG[/MENTION]...deny my warranty for clean parts? Goodluck with that! Silly stealership! Oh, and the reason Ford does not install these as a stock item, is because they don't want another service item (especially one left to the owner) to maintain...simple as that. The truck "runs" without them, so...it's about in line with why Livernois and 5-Star (and others) can tune the truck with a very "every-day" modest tune and have it run 1000% better...why does Ford not do this?? Meet in the middle, reduced risk.

I have been following this thread and the catch can sounds like a great idea. From what I read it will void the warranty. So to get around this I would have to remove the catch can every time the truck is serviced right? I have the service contract so they will be doing all my service work.

I never had an issue with my service department giving me grief over it. Some are a little more fussy.
