K & N air filter
Does anyone have any info about installing the K & N air filters over & above the obvious. i.e. , on my '91 460 the dealers shop forman suggested I remove the baffels on the filter to increase air flow. I did that & did notice an increase in power towing my 32' 5th wheel. The air box on this new '02 V-10 is considerable larger but havent had it apart yet. Anyone? Thnx

Not sure what you are asking... the V10 and 5.4L engines use a cone-shaped filter. It's a simple swap.
As far as I can tell, there are no baffles anywhere in the air intake plumbing. There is, however, a fiberglass "wall" (radiator support panel) in front of the airbox snorkel. You can cut a hole in this panel so that air can be "forced" into the filter. The effectiveness of this mod has never been proven though.

I've done this to my trucks (previous F250 too) and have never had a problem with water injestion. Unless the truck is smacked with a huge wave of water, I don't see how the opening could be a problem. Not only would a water droplet have to be traveling horizontally to enter the air snorkel, but it would have to go UP to get into the filter housing.
