KKM (v6) intake modified with pics

[08Mountaineer]

I have been running the KKM intake since 09 and love it. My wife stole the mounty from me back in 2010 and last month I bought her a lexus is250 and got my mounty back so the mods continue (better late than never lol)

Anyway I got a new filter for it and picked up a generic ebay heat shield for it a while ago and today I got a Spectre Performance (8738) 45 Degree Intake Tube ($10 amazon) and a Spectre Performance 8771 3-3/2.5" Intake Coupler ($7 amazon) in the mail so here we go. Install was super easy and it moves the intake filter further down and right in front of where fresh air enters the grill ( I cut a portion out to get more air you can see in the pics) So its kinda a ram air set up. Not sure if it will really even help much but after a week or so I will update with performance gains/ mpg gains. It looks like it will be much better but like I said it might not do a thing. Here are the pics:

autozone/advance auto parts sells the couplers and elbow pipe. Not sure about the heat shield but Im sure you can find them form other online retailers. Good luck

All you need is a 3" 45 Degree Intake Tube (elbow) and a 3"-3.25" coupler. No brackets needed. Here is a link to exactly what I got:

You should be able to find these at most auto parts store. Good luck!

Also here is a heat shield that should help block some of the engine heat(or not but it looks good). I got mine off ebay.

Not sure what you mean about an air sensor mount.

To do this you must already have a KKM intake. http://www.kustomz.com/054004.html



The KKM intake has a mass airflow sensor mount on it. If you do not have the KKM intake kit there is no universal mas mount to make your own intake for our engines that I am aware of.
