Is there any way to do away with the extra plastic baffle on our 5.4??? I am going to do the Gotts but also want to cut of the access baffle somehow...

 

I was wondering if i go mudding with this mod, would water get sucked in easier?

 

you can remove those baffles and you will be left with a few holes (3). then you can cover the holes with plugs of that size available in lowes. you will have to glue them with silicone or epoxy.

not my picture:


2" test/knock out cap, a 1.5" test/knock out cap & a 1" plug

 

i dont see how this could suck any less water than the original way. in both ways, its not sealed. an even if you seal it, in the bottom of the intake are several holes (maybe intended to allow the water to flow back out of the intake). also, there is holes in the side panel where the intake connects, so, in both cases, if you get water that high, you could get water in the intake....












now... you can always relocate the intake to inside the truck...



just kidding!

 

LOL!!! Thanks for the info

 

Thats what I am looking for picaflor! Thanks!

 

I did this to my intake last week and covered the holes with some gorilla tape. I'll try and get pics tomorrow.

 

It's official, goodbye Gotts, welcome "Picaflor's Mod"

 

I used a band saw. Took 5 minutes to trim the baffles off, just make sure you don't trim the mounting tab in the back. I then covered the holes with Gorilla tape and wrapped it with electrical tape. I'm planning on fiberglassing or bondoing it all smooth eventually.

 

Did mine this morning 50rpm decrease and .2 increase in volume at idle
