I would go with either the Airaid or Volant, personally know the Airaid would be a great fit for your F150:

I was opting for a shortram but a neighbor advised that I should go with the CAI instead as I will have more hp gains. I also put on performance air filter to free up some horsepower. My best choice for a cold air intake would be the Volant brand.

K&N all the way

I have put three CAI on vehicles and two were K&N and there kits quality is better then any other brands, not to mention they stand behind there products. I have one on my 97 4.6L 4x4 F150 and I love the way it sounds, and I can actually feel a little bit more power. I bought the truck with the kit on it, and the filter was tore, I called K&N to see about how much it would cost for a new filter, and without even asking they sent me a whole new kit in the mail free of charge. I put the kit on yesterday, and I am very pleased with them. Get a K&N they have proven results!
