Default Snorkel Tube Replacement w/pics

Great info on this site, thx.
I found a version of the Gotts Mod on here, using the F-250 snorkel tube to to open up the breathing a bit on the F-150.
Very simple 10 mins. Direct fit. Only cost $5.
Throttle response is improved a little and seat of the pants feels a bit stronger on launch. Here are some pics.

This replaces the tube on the fender side of the intake correct? For the price that's an awesome mod. Would this work for my '11 Eco?

Default nope

2011s and up already use that tube. 2009-2010s use the smaller one. i did mine couple of months ago. not sure if it made a big difference, but i do have a resonance around 1550rpm that wasn't there before. not a big enough issue to go back to the original though.

I had to get it from Ford Stealership I'm pretty sure it was $5.76. I tried NAPA, Car Quest, & O'rihleys none of them could get it.
The 2011 and up Eco-Boost & 5.0 have the bigger tube already.
