Two separate tubes that come off the throttle body and each has it's own conical air filter.

This is the same kit that i got for my truck!
My bro had these in his ite with larger windows than my f250 for 7 years before the drivers side one packed it in!!!
They seem to be good quality items!
In hind sight i should have got some switches to go with it!
Still may be able to get some in time!

I did all ball joints, universal joints, tie rods and ends, rotors and pads last weekend...not fun, but finished finally!

The tie rods were the easiest.

Sure does...except for the warped rear rim that is still causing vibrations. Still have a little slop in the steering, though. After I get the shocks done in a few weeks, I'll take a look at the steering gearbox and see what is involved in swapping out with another one from the pick-n-pull.

driving on bald tires at any time of the year does not seem like a smart thing to do.

what if you hit and killed someone?
