Gotts Mod **Pics**

[retrogarage6]

Or you can just buy our polished aluminum 4.5 inch mandrel bent cai kit with hardware and heatsheild for only $179.00 plus s&h. This GOTTS thing is similar to the mod We used to do on the Mark VIII's and that wasn't worth 1hp.

The problem is ALL the tubing in general. opening up ONE area does Nothing at all. Open it ALL up with a free flowing oiled open element filter deos HELP alot. We have seen 5+ on the dyno and I personally have had a 1.2 mpg increase PRE-programmer. It's 4 years old andd FILTHY but you get the idea.

NOW don't get me wrong... I used to love K&N filters, oiled filters... makes a big difference. But have you ever noticed that the oil in those filters is getting sucked into the intake tube and coating the MAF with filter oil? Well it is. And just a matter of miles does the MAF fail and send lean codes... So that's why I stopped using those. Stock filters for me, so the GOTTS mod makes more sense along with factory filter in terms of actually taking care of your vehicle.

see whats i mean? click that and zoom in a bit. Notice the wetness inside the tube and gummy mess on the sensor. Lots of arguing about this.... the people that know they suck just dont use them, and the people that spent $50+ on filters or cold air setups just get mad that someone said theyre sucking oil, dirt and dust into the engine. And fine dust surpasses these oiled filters and starts to build up on yuor valve seats! Try it out, get a lifetime filter for an ATV and drive it in some mild dusty conditions without an extra filter wrap... and see what happens. Good for your track car to get extra HP (or not, depending) and keep the papers in the DD

Thanks for the great info. A little late to the party lol.

I installed a K&N Cold air kit and removed all that.

Just wanted to add that i did the mod 4 years ago and it has held together fine truck runs great. Be sure to seal all joints completely to eliminate whistle.i get a whistle when it is very cold 32 or less.cant find any air being sucked at idle ,dont know where it may be. Also when changing air filters i find small leaf sections. And dirt that are getting thru ,how do you fix that with the gott mod?

Where is the dust/dirt? Is it before the filter or after the filter as in between the filter and the intake manifold? If its after the filter, you have found your whistle as you have an incorrectly assembled/sealed filter holder or an opening/hole in the plumbing after the filter.

If dust/dirt is before the filter, there is nothing to prevent this other then not driving.

I love the idea of this mid. Very simple and easy way to get a little more air flow. I just joined this forum two days ago. This was the first post I saw and immediately. after removing the stock part I was able to fit in the 3 inch ABS here's a picture of it

This is what it looks like all complete with the old filter housing connected to the ABS using a rubber 3 inch coupler from Home Depot.

This is the difference in diameter from the new 3 inch ABS connection in the old stock part

Looks much nicer then the way i did mine. but i don't really care what it looks like. The hoods gonna be close most of the time.well hope so anyway it is a dam Ferd lmao. it will do the same thing as what a coupler would do.but any way since i got pics i'll post em how i did mine .i used what i had laying around not a penny was spent. that's how i like things to go.this way is a bit different then yours. being that i got the cold air intake set up.but was a tight fit. also make a shield on the inner plastic wheel well to direct the air flow in the pipe as i am going down the road for more air flow

TROLLS are more welcome to comment your bs loving it

 

[Adieu]

Wait, so is this mod to increase airflow TO the stock filter, or to bypass the filter entirely?

 

[whitelightning99]

not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but every one knows more/cooler air flow is better

 

[intelisevil]

So how much extra power or fuel mileage has anyone experienced with this Mod? Is it worth it?

I've read about the Gotts Mod on a few forums. I understand the theory behind it.

I'm still waiting to find where someone has answered the quoted question above . . . ?

For those with the weird "add-on" to their factory airbox like my 04, this mod is even easier. Remove the extra leg (it unclips), get a short piece of black ABS, a 3" coupler from home depot.. No cutting of the factory parts, no gluing, just a bit of grinding to the abs to get it started in the hole.. Then a hammer and 2x4 are your friend.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Took about 25 mins total, most of which "convincing" the ABS pipe to fit into the factory opening.

I am wanting to do this I have an 04 as well. I work at a plumbing supply store and can get the parts cheap. Is it just a 3in inside diameter rubber coupling and 3in inside diameter pvc . or is this all outside diameter.

 

[Alansd]

still no real answer. What good is a mod if you only THINK it does something? Need some numbers...

[Grey ghost]

The black rubber coupling with the stainless steel clamps is commonly refered to by Plumbers as a fernco coupling..

 

[DASAGT]

New here and new truck (to me). was wondering if there is anything wrong with what i did?

4" to 3" coupler and 3" ABS

fantastic! works with the factory filter. I'm going to do the same, "thanks for the idea!"

 

[Sly1]

I got no difference in mileage (as I expected) after the mod. I did get a little better response when putting my foot down though. As this mod allows more air, the engine will not actually use any more air when just cruising than it did before, but will use more air when in higher RPMs as there is more available.

Saw this but it doesnt really correct the whole problem.
So..... I removed it all together and ran Four inches to the quarter panel and enlarged the opening to four inches. Dropped in an AEM High Flow Dry Filter. Get avg 70 to 75 degree air temp at MAF sensor

Alansd, I have asked that question in many ford forums over the years, not only of the Gotts mod, but of any CAI. I did try this mod myself on my F150. I couldn't tell a difference. No one has ever replied with anything beyond anecdotal evidence. I have never seen or heard of any dyno test showing a gain of power, torque, or mpg of either one. You would think the CAI manufacturers would do it and produce the charts as a part of their marketing.
I specifically asked how much a CAI lowers intake air temp; again, no answer.

I did swap the stock air filter on my expy for a K&N filter.

what was the temp before? how did you measure the temp?
