Do this, add smooth aluminum tubing and drop in a K&N or Airaid filter and you might get more of a power increase. Actually a pretty cost effective little mod, probably will have $100 in it all, give or take.

Just did this too. Haven't noticed much change except for the sound. Hopefully it may add a bit to the mileage.

Would this cause it to pull in hot air out of the engine bay? If so that would hurt performance. Louder sound would provide a placebo effect of more power.

How do you do this to a 5.4? I just tried it and that snorkel thing looks like it's permanently attached to the airbox, so I just left it alone.

It's so hard to see in there with the rubber flap there. So you just push in on the side with a screw driver? I don't remember seeing an actual tab there. Pics would be much appreciated, if you don't mind.
