My company developed and manufactures the low pressure ducts and the air box for every f150 & Expedition for the 2.7/3.5 . We removed the swirl vanes from all models except the expeditions after 2020 as a cost save. Because they are only silencers and have no effect on efficiency.
I put a filter similar to a cold air intake filter over the blow off and it made it sound so rowdy! Man it makes such a difference than just coming out the valve alone.
You put a filter over the BOV that expells air? It blows OUT air, doesn't pull it in lol. I'm not even talking sh*t so don't take me the wrong way. Maybe your onto something
I had some Cam phaser warranty work done. After the work, I noticed the increased whirling sound. It is very noticeable with a sudden deacceleration. After combing UA-cam I found the blowoff tube hack and guessed the mechanic didn't reconnect the blowoff tube. Simple 15 second reconnect. My opinion is the mod is annoying because you only notice the Turbo sound on deacceleration. Also, the blow off serves to smooth out the turbo on deacceleration so you will notice jerking motion when the turbo disengage sharply.
My turbos are loud AF on my 18 during acceleration. Surprisingly. I feel like its louder than any one ive heard lol. I havent even pulled the pipe or anything to check if the swirls are gone or not. But did do a VTA plug on the lower hose
When you say you have to plug off the intake side of the tube do you mean the upper or lower part where the hose was connected that you removed? I'm thinking the uppermost part
The top sucks air in bottom blows it out so you don’t have to worry abt sucking up any debris or anything bad into the motor if that’s what your worrying abt
Just go to the hardware section of home depot or lowes, ask for rubber chair leg caps. They'll know what you're after. Just make sure you get the right size
If u want to over complicate something and screw it up hire an engineer. For all those engineer commenters. Engineers draw designs so it works on paper and often does not translate to real world application. Plus, most of them are egotards incapable of taking input from technicians or tradesmen who deal with their poor designs on the regular whom could give sound advice as to improvement. So who cares if an "engineered" piece of crap gets removed. Try it and see for yourself then make a decision based on real world application. If theres no gain in power or loss in mpg efficiency then it was probably pointles garbage anyway. Get rid of it.

I’ve noticed a slight difference also. Appreciate the video man
Picked up my '19 3.5 Platinum a few months ago and just now getting around to removing my swirl vanes or silencers...well they were already gone lol.
Sleeper... know where I can get a set to replace?

Good question have same concern about it too
U need to plug the top part of where the tube was on the intake tube not the bov side
The top sucks air in bottom blows it out so you don’t have to worry abt sucking up any debris or anything bad into the motor if that’s what your worrying abt
Sweet early 90’s Z/28
love the video also one question if you plug the bov do the turbos stutter!??
I would not recommend plugging the BOV, turbo flutter is bad and hard on the turbos..
@@KravasGarage okay thank you, i’m buying the plugs atm 😭😭💀
@@juanramos9142 did your turbos go out
Any updates on check engine light? Performance? Reliability?
No lights, realistically performance stayed the same..just sounds cool!
@@KravasGarage gas mileage stayed the same? Trying to do as much research as I can before I do lol, thanks for reply
Have you had your vct phazer rattle yet?
Just had them replaced 5k miles ago..
What brand are the plugs? I can’t find them anywhere
Just go to the hardware section of home depot or lowes, ask for rubber chair leg caps. They'll know what you're after. Just make sure you get the right size
works better if you put the car in sport
Damn rust belt
LoL! Trust the dude in the Hoodie over FORD Engineering so it sounds cool! Wow
So don’t do this?
@@burrdog I guess if the sound impresses you but it was designed the way it is for a good reason.
@@Chief351L I tried it… it doesn’t sound much different at all I put them back in right after
Ford engineers also put shit in front of their oil plugs so do they rlly know what they are doing?
Their engineering could be bad. Lol. Just because you’re an engineer doesn’t mean you’re good at your job.
Engineers are paid to innovate not recreate 🤯
