1. unscrew the wing nut on the air filter box
2. lift the lid
3. see the dome shape thing under the lid with a hole in the center
4. cut it off!
5. feel the slight power increase and increased fuel mileage

How long since you have removed your soupbowl?? miles or months??D.S. tech support team tells me that the i.d.i.'s always needed more air & they did that to one of the company trucks awhile back..

Removed it a couple of years ago.Didnt see much extra mpg maybe 1 or 2 but could feel the diff in the pedal.
TNT.The reason i asked if it was a van is the vans have the restriction in the lower part of the air cleaner,the hole where it sits on the intake is smaller than the F-series,so on a van this is what needs to be opened up.

Mine came off 2mos. back & immediatley I gained mileage & power but I was drawing from under the hood(engine compartment & my mech went uptight until i replced the snorkel).(He doesn't kno I removed bowl)This factory intake nozzle breathes from just under the hood on drivers side with a (vacuum cleaner ) type nozzle at a 45deg. to the rad support breathing right over the left battery(pain in the butt when lookin at battery.)
I.m lookin at mods similiar to buddys with a furnace duct & 4"flex hose feeding fron straight in the grille. This snorkel dimishes the running & mileage in 1 tank. I can tell that it ain't the same as the open flex but less apt to draw contamination to the the breather.
These 7.3i.d.i.'s are sensitive "Hearts" i see.
