Nope, guy couldn't have been less interested.

In the end the $6 part with shipping cost me $15. Still hasn't arrived, hoping it will be here today or tomorrow.

I wonder why it would cause a loss of power? It's a smoother path for the air to travel. And the MAF is still in the stock housing. Might be worth it to run a full tank of gas with it on there and see if there's any change in mileage.

The tubes and such hanging off the stock tube improve velocity. I did a straight pipe too and lost some umph. Will be calling and ordering this snorkel today.

Interesting conversation. I didn’t know about the f250 snorkel. I’ll keep that in mind. I have a 2014 EL King Ranch. The snorkel in the fender was very restricting and I ordered a short straight plastic tube 4” that fit over the the air box inlet and mounted it to the box. I then took off the factory tube/air silencer and replaced it with a plastic one from eBay for 15$ then I took off the side air box from the intake hat and put in a nice 2” rubber and stainless expanding swimming pool plug in it’s place. Then I put in a K&N filter in the factory box. It was a nice clean upgrade that made some difference. I then changed to a cat back magnaflow system and a tuner from 5star with custom tunes and put in a full tank of E-85.
Shazam!! What a difference! It really woke my truck up. Throttle response is great and for such a big truck it really flys. I should mention that it has 3.73 gears from factory and the six speed helps.
