I WAS LOOKING AT THE DESIGN OF THIS PRODUCT.. IT IS NO MORE THAT A HOLE CUT IN THE FIBERGLASS BRACE, THAT LEADS INTO THE COLD AIR INLET, WITH A FANCY PIECE OF EXPANDED METAL.
I TOOK A 3.5 HOLE SAW AND DRILLED IT MY SELF THE FILTER WILL STOP ANY LARGE DEBRI,IE SMALL BIRDS , FROM BEING INJESTED BY THE INTAKE.
MAKES BIG DIFFERNCE ON THE HIGHWAY THE AIR IS BEING FORCED INTO THE AIR BOX YOU WILL PICK UP MPG. FOR INFO ON WERE TO CUT JUST LOOK FOR THE ADVERTISEMENT IT WILL SHOW WERE

My Google search for the Air Fury intake only showed generic "picture not representative product". I assume the hole is an enlargement of the existing hole, right. Along those same lines, save your money on a cold air for an 03 and just grab an Airaid filter, MOST of these "cold airs" ONLY replace the filter box, with guess what, A SIMILAR BOX!! Hope this doesn't suck up small children and pets when I'm done!

Holy free Ram-Air, Batman, that was EASY!! Now I see what the Air Fury was all about. Thanks, gentlemen! For a grand total of $75 (an Airaid filter) and half a beer (it was THAT easy), I now have an induction that is less restrictive than those $200 - $400 set ups! BTW, I put my hand in front of the opening, that thing pulls huge air at IDLE! :-)

Okay, maybe i haven't been paying enough attention to this. So let me get this straight....the zoodad and tymar intakes aren't "manufactured" intakes, rather they are "home made" intakes, in essence?

the zoodad mod is simply cutting a whole in the header panel of a ford superduty. the "tymar" intake is a manufactured intake but it is easy to duplicate or do a less than full upgrade. The intake on my truck is an exact copy of the tymar filter but you can use the same filter (napa 6637, reboxed baldwin) and a piece or curved 4" exhuast pipe and attach it to the stock black rubber tubing coming from the stock air box

These are homemade remedies to the parts that "me-too modifiers" have been buying up at over inflated prices. Sometimes it's just as effective to make your own stuff and save the rest for your beer habit!
