    Any opinins on this air intake setup...

    Don't buy it. I bought one about three months ago, the MAF meter adapter does not fit. Don't waste your money on it. I found a better setup on a Ford Ranger site. This site has an adapter that fits the Explorer MAF it will work with 8 or 6 cylinder http://www.ssd4u.com/streetsmart_015.htm.
