Looks like one of the best deals I've seen. A KKM is $100 and doesn't include a new tube.

i got the same deal from e-bay also. Same people actually. I have a 93 X. I paid 109 for the complete air intake and s/h. I am happy with it! Between 2-3000 rpm it has a slight whistle to it. My truck is a bit more responsive now.

I read the Ebay ad carefully and it states the filter is NOT a K&N unit. Just fyi

ya i did see that. i wonder if the k & n i have would work with it? if not, this setup still has to be better than my
k & n alone. it says it's equal to a k & n.

Why not just buy a MAC Products air intake for $10.00 more straight from the manufacturer ($139.50)? http://www.macperformance.com You can even find it cheaper on some other sites. I actually got mine on Ebay for $119.00. This is the guy I bought mine from: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=alsoci

you have a 99, i'm almost psitive that they don't make one for my 96 4.0. almost positive, i'll still look a little more though. thanks

If you have an intake like he second pic you dont need to buy anything except the K & N filter. Remove the end of the air box and crimp the filter holder to fit snugly on the K & N.

wow, cool. i have the k & n already, so thats what i'll do. also, i would guess the filter gets dirty faster b/c it's exposed. do you suggest those filter covers or will they defeat the purpose? thanks

i'd just clean the filter more... i mean, wouldn't a cover get dirty and restrict flow just like the filter ?

The only bad thig about just slapping a filter to the end of the factory tube, is that a Aluminum tube is smoother and less restrictive. Plus you'll be sucking in a lot of "hot engine bay air". It's best to just get a real cold air kit, the one that draws air from the wheel well, or just stick with the K&N drop in filter.

Nice tip though... it does look cooler than the factory box!
