http://www.powerflowracing.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1227

so i was on google, and stumbled across the link above. with help from the link, and a little of my own searching. I have made a complete list of required parts to finally have an " INTAKE KIT " available for our application for roughly 150 $ ( quoted price directly from spectre ) actual costs may vary. I know its not a K&N Intake, but its better than nothing...

prices are direct from spectre - just making that clear...

" Kit Parts "

1. PN - 8776 ( x2 ), couplers, 18$

2. PN - 8698, 90 degree 3'' elbow, 15$

3. PN - 8728, 22 degree 3'' elbow, 14$

4. PN - 9405, mafs adapter, 36$

5. PN - 9713, vaccum fittings, 5$

6. PN - 8136, cone filter, 32$

7. PN - 8130, heat shield, 38$ - ( Optional, but suggested )

* Thermo Wrap for the intake will help reduce some heat soak, but is optional

thanks caldwell this really helps us 4.0 guys ... and this REALLY needs to be stickied .. what air intake setup do you have just the mod right?

 

[CALDWELL]

yea just the Airbox Mod...

im going on vacation for a long weekend ( Firefighter's Weekend ) in Wildwood NJ , but when i come home ill be shopping for parts...

 

[armysoldier30263]

are you gonna get this cai when you get back?

 

[CALDWELL]

yes fella, its in my last post...

im tired of lacking performance...

 

[armysoldier30263]

alright man be sure to post a good review of it .... im sure you will though

honestly excapt for there silicone couplers I would skip it, you can get pretty good size pipe in mandrel bend and mock just about anything up, its hard because we are MAF but you can cut thatr housing off the air box.

don;t try a 4 inch maf housing it doesn;t work without tuning. I do use specter stuff peice mill but normally do everything inbetween myself.

the sound and power difference is incredible....

here is a k&n cai for us 04-05 4.0 guys ... has anyone seen this before? this is the first time ive found this

The spectre one is crap. Look at the filter, its just sitting there in the engine compartment. Engine compartment temps get much higher than the incoming "cool" air. Without a divider that helps to keep the warmer compartment air "out " then your just polishing a turd. However, the K&N setup shown above is a much better filter setup. It clearly shows a divider, this helps to separate the warmer air from the cooler air, giving you a more true cool air intake.

I did a little more research on that. Turns out that the Autozone Accessories page does not show any results for our X's. It just shows general products in that category. I also looked on K&N's website its for a Audi or VW. I was in disbelief when I saw a K&N CAI for our 04-10. I have a set-up that works fairly good. I'm working on getting full intake set-up.

Armysoldier...
If you really want a K&N intake do this:
Go to your local junkyards and find an 02-03 explorer, get the MAF housing off of it, and get the 02-03 K&N intake kit for the V6 explorer.

 

[CALDWELL]

started making progress towards getting an intake system complete...

i just need to order the MAF housing, since Pepboys and AutoZone didnt have the correct part i needed...


now my major concern, is just making a hole for the vaccum line...

 

[armysoldier30263]

is that a reuseable air filter?

 

[CALDWELL]

yes it is washable..


down the road i may get a K&N filter

 

[armysoldier30263]

thats defiantely a plus but cant you get the filter at autozone? ive seen alot of random spectre parts but havent paid any attention to anything in particular
