Is there anything else besides removing the air intake silencer

I thought removing the air silencer on the 4.6 cars didn't do anything (except maybe hurt performance)?

There is a FAQ about "Free Mods" on this site. It is probalby geared to the 5.0, but the principles should be the same.

The DOHC needs to breathe. I would expect a K&N filter would be a good place to start.

There just isn't the same Freebies on the 4.6 as the 5.0.

Honestly there aren't any freebie mods for 4.6 cars. The air silencer will be in debate till the end of time but it isn't nearly as restrictive as the 5.0's were. In fact some have dyno numbers to prove it hurts performance by removing it. You can't port the MAF because it's plastic and it will screw up the calibrations of the car pretty bad.

Man that sucks, I guess I will have to ice the intake and reinstall the silencer and see how I do.

Thanks,

Have you had your Cobra to the track yet?

I haven't seen you post anything if you have, I'm just curious what your times were with the new ride.
