I have been looking all day at work and could not find anything that was really useful on this. I want to make a CAI for my 2002 5.9 and I was wondering if anyone(I know someone has had to) do this without keeping the stock piece right on top of the throttle body. I like how the PVC goes directly on the throttle body like on the 4.7s and 5.7s, but is this possible for my 5.9? Thanks.

 

The only way I know to have a direct fitment from the throttle body ditching the stock elbow piece is to use the old school round air cleaners. You can search in the 2nd gen section and find a crap load of guys who have done that.

 

Yeah I did see alot of that. Do you think a coupler with a 90* would work, or would that be to tall?

 

Prolly be to tall and most likely wouldn't even fit over the mouth of the throttle body.

 

Open element old style filter = HAI Hot air intake
Get a dual horn air cleaner assembly from a 83-85 Mustang GT then run both cold air tubes to the front of the truck.

Shiloh- can you take a pic of your intake please? I just want to see how it is set up.

 

Heres a couple pics of how mine is set up. I just used the stock bend coming off of the throttle body and attached my chit pipe with filer to it like so.
