I recommend trying the Gotts mod first, then if you dont like it then look into other intakes.

Intakes like the k&n are actually more warm air intakes and ones like volant intakes are cold air.

Also, the 5.4L may run lean with a intake and will need a programmer to fix it.

Well it doesnt always run lean. Many people say the gotts is just as good as an aftermarket intake except there is no sound from it. plus it cost around $10.

Do you have a 4.6L or 5.4L engine?
