    Water in engine from passenger-side exhaust air inlet

    Hey guys, last Sunday I took my ’93 Explorer XLT 4x4 through a shallow river.

    Would you pay $125 for this OEM intake box + tube?

    All the junkyards around me do not have the intake or they are charging over $125 for a set. I found this one for $125 + free shipping. Worth it? Looks kinda rough. Is there any decent after market intakes? I have yet to find an after market that looks good to me. 4.0l OHV Thank you
