[RedBeard]

Where is the most RELIABLE place to get the K&N FIPK online? Summit? TruckPerformance.com? I wish I could buy it locally, but nobody seems to stock it or is able to order it. fooey.

I ordered mine from www.4filters.com. It shipped out the next day, all I had to wait on was UPS to get it cross country.

Do you feel a big difference with the K&N FIPK? Is there really an increase in hp and torque? Does it fit exactly into the explorer or does it require any alterations to make it fit? thanks

Yup... same part number as my 96. 95-97 appear to be the same FIPK. I ordered mine from Summit. Should arrive in a week or so.

I put one in my 99 SOHC Sport about a month ago and no alterations are needed. The hardest thing was removing the old Explorer air filter box. Was there a big increase in HP and torque....well, there was an improvement but here at 6,000 feet I don't get the full effect. I leave for a trip to Wisconsin in two days so I'll see how it runs there. The dino chart that came with mine (57-2528) lists a 5 HP gain at 4100 rpm going to a 5.6 HP gain at 5300 rpm. It does accelerate quicker, sounds nice, and I got 22.5 mpg coming back from Moab a couple of weeks ago with a full load of camping gear.

How often and long do you drive at 5300 RPMs?

Not worth the $200+ for 5 hp. Not really noticable either except for the nosie it makes.

Id go headers or exhaust much more bang for your buck

I had the exhaust done first, and noticed a little difference. After the FIPK, I noticed a little better performance. I think the two make a good match. I dont care too much about sound, but it seems to be getting somewhat better MPGs. The big suprise came at 55 MPH and I hit WOT. I can actually pass grandma without waiting for a tailwind.

BTW, I ordered my FIPK online from Summit at 9pm last Friday night, UPS delivered it on Wednesday. Not bad at all!
