I would really like to improve the air flow into my engine. I have debated back and forth between getting an actual intake kit from K&N or just getting the K&N filter and doing my own modifying of the air box. I would love to hear thoughts and feelings on the issue for a 95 F150.

The other thing I need to know is how to go about making the modifications on an air box of that year. I have seen many on later models but none on that particular model.

Thanks

 

When I modded mine, I just cut the bottom of the airbox off and it worked fine.

 

Cut the baffles off. The baffle is on the big tube that pops into the Air box. Check my galler, I have pics of it there

 

Thank you both!
I have another question: the main purpose of an air box mod is to open up the air flow- correct? with that being the case does is matter how or where you choose to do it? if i am going to cut part of the air box is there a certain part of it i dont want to modify? does it matter where i pull the air in from? i just dont want to do anything that would do more harm than good.
thanks again. very helpful!

 

lol, just dont cut it from the top. You want to get air from somewhere that is not under the hood. Hot air=less power.

 

hmmm... How could I modify my 5.8? Could I do the same thing?

 

What? Cut the baffles? Probably. I like it cuz it made the engine sound throaty. GRRRR!!

 

If the 95 still has that snorkle looking intake tube, see if you can find one at a junk-yard from an F-250. They have one that goes to the left side of the radiator and it is supposed to have less restriction. Plus, it moves that tube down and out of the way. Its worth the $5 or less.

 

haha. you guys should see my setup! My 302's ram air now. K&N CAI modified and routed right beside the fan shroud where the f250 intake tube goes. She works well and sounds hella good. I'll take some pics soon.

 

looked in gallery and do not see pic of baffle on or cut off.

 

Look in the 'Homemabde intake tubing' Album. Picture #3 is the baffle. Picture #4 is after i chopped it off

 

read this thread about the air box mod, it works good and is cheap. you won't have to cut anything.
