3rd Gen Air Box Mod

[Dstariha]

just finished this up, i have a 93 explorer xlt with a flowmaster 50. i cut a 3x4 hole on the airbox. Didnt really notice a difference with sound but it has alot more get-up-and-go. Overall, very satisfied with this mod.

Just did this the other night. There is a noticeable difference just by taking off the silencer. I'm not sure if there is much or any more hp gain from any more holes. Here is how mine looks:

There is a whole thread on this. How long is your money (start here)

I got the bread to spend..I seen 200 k&n kits on ebay....but I noticed folks in here doin mods for the low...I rather not spend the money...but If I have to...

What I did was start out with removing the silencer tube and drilling the added holes and then moved on to the K&N when I had the extra cash off ebay. I would say skip the first part. Enjoy the savings and the pleasures of the K&N.

ok...so you got the air intake kit?...how does it sound..I already have an exhaust currently and that sounds good

Your exhaust sound will over power any intake sound, it will just run better.

I was always surprised that no one did a before and after video for this. So I decided to since I was in the mood to do the Mod this morning so I thought why not.

I just did this mod, and I can already feel a huge difference in acceleration. I dont have that roar, because I only made a few holes and removed the silencer. However I do feel like my explorer is a bit more responsive.

Should I drill more holes?

 

[Ronin8002]

only if you want more noise.

Take the silencers off of the intake tube and plug the holes. I did this a few weeks ago and cleaned the throttle body and now I am getting almost 21 MPG

I've been averaging around 15-16 mpg city/highway combined so maybe I'll give this a shot.

Do you mean the holes that we drilled to do this mod? Plug them back in?
