I'll give you mine, took it out of my 96 FSB, the PO put one in. I took it out and now my hoss runs better.
These belong with K&N FIPKs and Bosch sparkplugs - in a place other than in a FORD.

Save your money, I would never buy one or use one.

Had a '99 4.2L with Tornado. Took it out, threw it away, truck ran better, better mileage.

They did a comparison in Popular Mechanics of gas savers a year or so back and they tested this and said that it didnt work and in some cases made gas mileage worse. So no save your money.
