KKM Intake

[sailfishford]

Looking to do some mods to my 2006 ex 4.0 V6. The first upgrade I am looking at doing is a new intake. I know there is probably threads on this but I cant find them.

I cant find someone that makes a intake for my truck besides KKM. Is it a good intake, where do I buy them from and I also heard it makes a sound difference which I am very interested in. maybe a whistle or something.

if someone could give me some input before I purchase that would be great. Thanks,

P.S. I go through some dirt and sand sometimes when I go offroading. Dont know if that would make a difference.

honestly never really heard much input from KKM but id think it would work like most intakes do more throaty sound and a bit more throttle response. I think u will enjoy ur purchase. If ur looking for a good cheap mod have you thought about getting a programmer?

I have thought about a programmer but I really just want what you described. A cheap mod, throaty sound and a little better throttle response will defintly do the trick. I appreciate your advice. Do you know if the KKM is any good or if there is another good brand.
Thanks,

$135 for a add on filter? I don't think so! It still is a hot air intake, and does nothing to get rid of the factory silencers which provide a lot of restriction.

^ Have you ever had one? Didn't think so. KKM has always been a long time favorite for every gen Explorer based on price/performance. It's more than an add-on filter. It comes with a very high-quality MAF housing as well. Checkout their website.

didnt mean to double post
but I love it......K&N could have done this for us who have 06 up explorers
but to bad kkm did it

I Just put on on my 2006 v6 yesterday......

now I already have magnflow & sct.....

with idle speed tuned high....my truck move quickly without my foot on the gas(unlike stock it usually sit there)

so with kkm tru rev- you will get a excellent throttle response
and power that your truck lost from that quiet hot stock intake box
I mean my V6 XLT jump quicker than my 06 MUSTANG GT!! no lie
