Hey,

I have a 2000 Explorer XLT 5.0 and AEM nor K&N Make an intake..

Suprising, they make the 4.0s but no 5.0.
I was wondering if anyone knew why?

Mac and airmax are your only options, they'll both give you similar performance so take your pic, the mac is a lot cheaper though.

Thank you.

What kind of performance will the MAC put out for you though?
Also. I already have a Exhaust and was wondering what would be the next move to speed my X up?

Thanks

oh yea i have a dual in n out flow with custom pipes to the mac def improved power and mileage plus at idle it sounds like a supercharger lol but its worth all it costs paid 149 i think?? comes w a lifetime filter like the k&n

it's a noticeable gain, torque monster headers and a good computer tune will give you the big gains though.

dont mean to hassle..
but what kind of computer tune should i get?
A Programmer or a performance chip?

What brand? Thanks alot!

you can get the headers from torquemonsterheaders.com, for a computer tune either an sct x-cal 3 or a livewire. I suggest you get the tuner from www.hensonperformance.com he's a vendor here on the site and tunes a lot of explorers.

Make a custom one. I spent $45 for mine with a heatshield, maf sensor adapter and everything.

What are the dyno gains on the intakes?

With 10+ year truck I would think a brand new CAI would yield gains although I can't find any
