Custom 4.6 Air Intake

Found this great article for the 4.6 v8 ford in ford muscle.

Shows you how to improve your air intake simlpy by removing restricting componets placed in your intake to reduce air flow.

have done this. Noticed a slight, minimal, psychological improvement. Went with Volant later on and never looked back.

I have removed the baffle and found out later from a ford mechanic that the baffle is for cooler intake temps. Which also will increase hp so the effect is probally minimal.

search for it...


the main intake plastic tube, look inside of it, you will see a sheath of plastic. That is the liner. You have to pry it apart from the intake with a long screw driver, and work with it...have patience because I believe it took me over 2 hours to get it out without ruining the intake (aka having the screw driver go through the main intake trying to pry it apart with the liner)


Good luck or save up!
