Short Air Intake for Ford F150/Expedition (1997-2003) 4.6/5.4L V8 Engines

Improve Throttle Response and Induction Sound for your Ford Modular V8

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1997-2003 Ford F-Series and SUV owners running the 4.6L and 5.4L Modular V8 engine.

The Problem: The factory intake system on the Modular V8 is built for silence, not efficiency. Between the restrictive paper filter box and the ribbed "accordion" style plastic intake tube, the air entering your engine is turbulent and warm. This results in sluggish throttle response and a muffled engine note that doesn’t do this V8 justice.

The Solution: This Short Air Intake kit replaces the restrictive stock plumbing with a mandrel-bent T-304 polished aluminum tube. By providing a smooth, high-velocity path for oxygen to reach the manifold, we correct the factory flow limitations of the Modular V8, delivering a noticeable 7-10% increase in horsepower and a much more aggressive growl under acceleration.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Flow Dynamics: The smooth-bore aluminum piping reduces air turbulence, allowing the 4.6L and 5.4L engines to breathe easier in the mid-to-high RPM range.
• T-304 Polished Aluminum: Engineered for durability and heat dissipation, the lightweight piping features a brilliant chrome-style finish that resists corrosion and brightens up the engine bay.
• High-Flow Washable Filter: Includes a reusable red cone filter that provides superior filtration surface area compared to the stock flat-panel paper filters.
