aFe lists this Magnum FORCE Stage-2 kit under part number 54-10082 for the Ford F-150 97-05 V8-4.6L/5.4L. It pairs a dyno-developed intake tube with a Pro 5R filter, and the manufacturer says it outflows the factory intake by 46%. The manufacturer also claims dyno-proven gains up to +12 HP & +13 Lbs. x Ft. TQ. Those are the manufacturer's own figures, so treat them as a best-case estimate, not a guarantee. Owners on user forums warn that big intake-only gains are often overstated on a near-stock engine, and that unless the filter is badly dirty, the trade-off may not pay off. The stronger case for this kit is the hardware: a durable 16-gauge powder-coated heat shield that keeps underhood heat away from the filter, and a filter that is washable and reusable, so you aren't buying disposable media every service interval.
Fitment-wise, this kit is for 1997-2005 F-150 trucks with the V8 4.6L or 5.4L, and the manufacturer sells a separate Stage-2 intake for the Ford F-150 04-08 V8-5.4L, so confirm your model year before ordering. Installation is a bolt-on job that utilizes factory mounting locations. Search terms buyers typically use for this part include "97-05 F-150 4.6 5.4 Pro 5R intake," "Magnum FORCE Stage-2 54-10082 install," and "F-150 4.6 5.4 CAI dyno HP torque."
Not according to the product name. The manufacturer offers a separate Stage-2 intake for 2004-2008 V8-5.4L F-150s with its own installation instructions, so use that kit for those model years.
The manufacturer describes the Pro 5R as washable and reusable. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning and re-oiling instructions for the filter rather than general guidance.
The manufacturer reports dyno gains of up to 12 HP and 13 lb-ft of torque. Owners on user forums are skeptical that intake-only changes produce large gains on a near-stock engine, so expect the gains to be modest.
The manufacturer's install sheet for the 2004-2008 version of this intake tells you to disconnect the negative battery post before starting, and to transfer the mass airflow sensor from the factory airbox to the new tube using the supplied spacers and gasket. Plan on a 5/32" Allen key for the filter adapter and housing cover screws. Confirm the exact steps against the install sheet for 54-10082, which I could not locate, before you start.
