Replaced the ugly & inefficient stock airbox with an Edelbrock Pro Flow 1002. Tho, with a slight twist. Instead of using the 'normal' bent all-thread, I drilled a 9/64' hole in the front of the air cleaner base and used a #6 self threading screw as aset screw. (See Pictures Belolw) Of course, an aftermarket breather was installed. A Spectre in this case. At least by the dependable S.O.P. dyno, the truck has a whole lot more acceleration.

Looks Good!

 

get a lot of noise from that unit?

 

I like those..looks really good .. I had one on my 5.0... only thing was it would suck the foam filter bits in when it gets a lil old... and if you ever have a back fire out intake... it burns real easy

 

I have that same intake on my truck and have for a while now. I didn't use a set screw I just bent the bracket that came with it. That bracket seemed to be flimsy and would let the air cleaner unseat it self a little as it would be back. I got fed up after a day or two and went down to a local machine shop with the bracket bent how it needed to be and told them to make me one of those stronger. They did and the one I have now I don't think I could bend if I wanted to without a lot of heat or a machine. It's super heavy duty and holds it down really nicely. After getting that issue fixxed I like this intake okay. The only downsides are it says to clean the filter every 2k miles I think I read that which is failry often and the bracket to hold it cost me $30 which is more than the intake did. It's still cheaper than most options though and seems to work fairly well. It does make a lot of sucking noises though.

 

Right now the only time I get a loud sucking noise from it is when I get on her real hard. Under normal driving the noise is hardly noticeable. And with the stereo on noise is non existant.
Baddnet- thanks for the heads-up on what to look forlater on.

hometheaterman- I read aboutyour mounting in another post. I came up with this idea when I remembered that some aircleaners for 1 bbl carbs used a setscrew to mount them to the carb & thought that this might be a simple way to mount this filter. So far - sogood.
