you simply unbolt the filter box on the intake, should be 3 bolts, pull it off, and cut out the side that was on the bottom, disconnect the snorkel, and put it back in flipped upside down, you increase the intake flow, works best with a high flow filter, i have a spectre in mine, basically K&N without the big name and its half the price (thank you autozone guy who told me that one)

Any noticable difference? Sounds like one I could do pretty quick...

Just a little bit more response on the throttle, but the engine actually sounds like its breathing right now, not constricted sounding.

My truck came with them but I'm sure if you go to and pick a part or junk yard you will find some! Even if they different color you can paint them. LMC truck only has them for 80-86 I believe! Good luck!!

Drove to cross country practice. Drove to work. Drove to the doctors. Drove home. With Brantley Gilbert blaring the whole way.

I hated kids that blared their music... until I realized... I'm one of em.

Used it to haul rebar. Used it as a work bench to cut said rebar in half in the gap between the bed and tailgate.
