did alot..removed roof racks, custom intake, clean TB, shaved TB spacer...pics

[ghoster]

Well i had some free time and decided to do some cleaning,fixing, and modding
Let know what you think

First off i removed the roof racks. I was going to do a how to..but its really soo easy its not worth doing it. If you need help PM me and i'll be glad to help you

Then i got an intake pipe to make my custom intake since i have a 04 V6. I didn't get chance to finish it but it will be done soon w/ a K&N filter. I just need to make an adapter for the MAF sensor.

Having the stock intake out..i saw how dirty the TB was so decided to clean it..while removing it i remembered what a fellow member (his sn starts w/ EB...) said about the fins on the spacer, so i decided to remove them.
I suggest doing it..you do notice a slight improvement in acceleration

What kind/size pipe is that for your intake? I have a KKM which has the filter and MAF adaptor... that pipe would add up nice...

where there not extra vacuum lines, etc that you removed?

I do not know the exact size of the pipe but i'll measure it and let you know.
I was going to get the KKM MAF adapter but IMO its alittle overpirced

just can't wait to finish my custom adaptor and put the K&N filter

EDIT- no theres only one vacuum line

Spectreperformance.com Where I got all the stuff for my intake....

Good shot of the adaptor....

Spectre has great parts for all sorts of applications, check their site out. Another benefit is most of their products are available at local parts stores (pepboys, autozone etc.)

Good luck man.

Hey what did you clean the TB with? I was worried about residue being left over with commercial products. And as for the fins...well..i guess I'll just search for now, sick car man. SOO clean...

Ghoster, Do you still have your roof rack laying around?

Could I buy the roof rack cross rails from you? They are the bars that extend across the roof from the driver's side to the passenger's side. They also adjust forward and backward.

Here is a picture of them:

I also don't need the brackets, just the 2 bars.

If you are interested please shoot me a pm!

btw very nice explorer! I like the work you have done.

-Thanks.
