The obnoxious piece you're referring to is the intake resonator...it serves no real purpose, robs power and takes up space. In the intake system it is located between the plenum and MAF sensor, and forces incoming air down a dead end pipe. Ford did this to quiet engine noise, but it creates back pressure and reduces air velocity. My recommendation is to ditch the thing, just get a pipe 3" in diameter and connect it where it used to be. Don't forget to drill and thread a hole for your IAT (Idle Air Temperature) Sensor, or the ECU will get an inaccurate reading for the intake temp and incorrectly adjust the air/fuel ratio.
