Today after i tested out how my truck performs after the gotts mod (i have a 2000) i told my grandpa and he wants it done to his 97 4.6l. when i popped his hood and tore his air box down its different then mine, will it still work with his or do i need to do something different?

 

Just did it on my 97 4.6 V8, had no real problems, found sewer pipe didn't fit as well so I grinded it down and fit my own. Um and I shaved off the tab on the end of the filter housing that connects to the coupler, other then that I followed all the directions in the how to. Give it a shot and just adjust the mod how you need too

 

since that tube is longer on a 97 then mine, does any of the pipe show? it seems like it would

 

If the tube you mean the PVC pipe then no not for mine. I used a 5 inch piece of pipe grinded 2 inches to fit in the fender hole and the remaining 3 inches gave me room to but the PVC up to the filter housing. But like I said I had to grind that tab off the filter housing for a solid seal. I could take some pictures tomorrow if you would like

 

yea that would be great, i meant the factory tube going into the fender is longer on his then mine was, so i thought some of the pvc pipe would be visible, if you could get a pic that would be awsome

 

Ohh the snorkel piece is shorter, I think that's what's your saying. And sorry I was busy today but tomorrow morning I will post a couple pictures.

 

Here you go, as you cab see there isn't any PVC showing, idk if this is what yours looks like but this is my 97. That coupler butts right up to the fender wall and the other end is on the filter housing obv. It's 5 inches of PVC, 2 inches in the fender wall and the rest in the coupler, with an extra inch or so for the air filter housing to fit in the coupler

 

cool thanks, i was just a little weary on doing his since it didnt look like mine did, but that looks almost just like mine

 

Yea my only concern was making sure everything sealed good around the fender hole and where the coupler joins so no dirt gets past the filter or into the system
