Decided exhaust, what do you guys do for intakes then?

I use the ford brand considering it is already a cold air intake, plus my engine has no VE increasing modifications; I don't want to waste my money on parts that claim to help performance, but really don't.
The stock intake and exhaust are not constraints given a stock performing engine. Port your head(s) or tune your computer if you want better performance.
Not trying to be a *****, but without headwork, boost or something similar you will gain nothing from an open filter unless you constantly drive around with rpms near redline.

At high RPM near redline your engine is creating more flow because the you have more power pulses per unit time. This is when flow is the highest. If you did gain anything it would only be evident here and you can only "feel it" on the dyno, not by the seat of your pants. This has been covered too many times.

Ya, I know it may not do any power gain, but I do love the sound haha, do you guys on here do your own porting? I was about to do it on my Honda when I owned it, but never bought a spare head, I was thinking about port matching the intake to the head, thats easy though. How much is head work for these heads? Thanks guys

You gain in the fact that it is less restrictive. The problem is everything up stream is more restrictive than the intake is. Think about it as sucking in a milkshake through different size straws. At some point, there is no difference.

K&N FIPK sucks. I had one and all it does is suck in hot engine bay air. Get something that encloses the filter. If I was building my Ranger up then intake would be the last thing to go on.

I'm going to have to disagree. The thunberbolt(or whatever special model Ranger it was) had intake and exhaust from the factory and it was rated with more power than a standard SOHC 4.0. The stock components are made to keep the truck silent so they create a restriction while being silent.

Fond info. http://www.therangerstation.com/reso...hunderbolt.htm
The performance package, with its combination of improved air inflow (via an under-hood cold air box, and exhaust outflow (courtesy of a cat-back exhaust system with dual outlets) increases the engine output by about eight percent (to 160 hp for the 3.0L V6 and 222 hp for the 4.0L V6).

does look nice, would it actually make any performance improvements though? considering your milkshake/straw example
