BTW, I am currently using the stock Motorcraft filter, I'm interested to see the difference a high flow fliter would make to this mod...

Parts List for the baffle elimination mod for 92 5.0 (again, everything was purchased from Lowe's):
23406 2" PVC Test Cap 131 0800 $0.57
1-1/2" Lasko SCH 40 Cap , 1-1/4" SCH 40 Cap- item #'s and prices are unknown because the pieces did not have a price tag on it and the guy at the register did not want to bother with it, so he gave them to me.

Forgot to add Black RTV Silicone used to adhere the caps to the tube and flat black spray paint.

Alright, so I took the cone off the end of the intake, and for now just have it open in the engine compartment. Do I need to unhook the battery before driving? Positive or Negative.

I have not added a new snorkel yet, I cant get the abs pipe in town. i don't like the white PVC pipe I can get. I am still looking for something that is similar to oem like tubing. I tried a shop vac wand but it is 2.5" diameter, close no cigar, next thought is a leaf blower/vac tube, but being it is February in NE they have not put them out yet.

Unhook the battery? No, I don't think so. unhooking it will FORCE the PCM to relearn everything over a period of several drive cycles, but, unless I'm totally wrong here, it relearns everything anyway, just at a slower rate. And, you possibly don't want it to get too fond of the intake in the engine compartment, since you're planning to get the inlet back into the fender well.

You COULD paint the PVC pipe black, you know. My black painted hose clamp came out looking super and added at least 100 HP! (Suppose I should post a picture of the final, glorious, all-black, $8 mod, right)?

I found the ABS in Home Depot. I think it may be sewer piping.

Jack,
Boy that paint must get better with age! Last time you told it only added 30hp.
