cold air intake help..

[kako]

hey people well i have been looking and trust me ive been looking hard
with no luck so far so i tought i ask you fellas for help as your guys always
come to the rescue. well i am looking for a cold air intake for this car but it seams like every time i check a web site they only have the k&g intakes
and i am looking for the green filters. i checked there web site with no luck aswell.
and
i was also thinking how about just buying the cone
and incorporate it to the stock intake. just takeing out the box .. is that
posible or is that a nono.

IMO... dont remove your airbox for just a filter element... you could actually " hurt " your X... it would just throw the engine off, and possibly not use the air as it should...

also, by using an open filter like you stated... your running the risk of sucking water into your engine... thats bad lol


there arent many choices for the 04' 05' INTAKES, thats why your search is difficult...

hope this helps in anyway !!!

i know VOLANT makes a great enclosed intake that still sounds really good...

what brands have you come across that makes an intake for your model ??

What size engine? There are no intakes made for a 04+ 4.0L and very few for the 4.6L. If you have the 4.6L, I would go for the Volant for sure.

go for kkm

see i think
i will not be able to put a cold air intake ...
because the volant only has up to 03 explorers
and i just notice that the K&n ones are only for v8's explorers
i havent been able to find nothing so far i looked and nothing
i keep hitting dead ends

Only thing is, that's not an "intake", it's just a filter. Still better than stock yes, but not as good as an intake kit with replacement intake tube.

Yep, i wouldnt bother with a CAI for horsepower...they do very little, and cost too much.


I actually had problems running a K&N air filter on my mustang.
The engine would bog down and always want to stall, and had horrible Idle problems,etc.
I put a Stock air filter on, and BAM it ran PERFECT, and instantly idled very nicely.
I put the K&N filter back on, and the car nearly friggin stalled on me.
Then i put a new stock filter on, and the idle jumped right back up and level and ran super clean.

I was running Without a Filter Housing by the way......

Once i found a Housing piece from the junkyard, i installed it, and the car ran even BETTER.....



I couldnt believe something small as an Air Filter could cause engine problems!
Im Always going to use stock replacements......never aftermarket BS ones.
