Mine is SS from Street Smart Design. Idk if they make them for the older 4.0 or not. I don't even think they offer them for the 3.0 anymore. Fitting issue I think.
www.ssd4u.com was their web site.
EDIT: They have a tube for a 4.0 OHV but it lists for 98-00. Don't know if it'd fit you 96.
FRZN1001C 1998-2000 Ford Ranger and Mazda B 4.0 L OHV; T304 Hand Polished Stainless Steel Intake Tube $98.95

If by better you mean more like a high pitched whining noise as air rushes through a metal tube...then yah!
You will probably get a little more noise from switching over. For $30 I guess it's worth it to find out. But no intake or exhaust is gonna make a V6 sound like a V8.
Yeah i noticed they don't have it listed pre-98. If you went over to TRS you might see why...idk if they changed the intake on the 98 4.0 OHV from the 97 or not. Guessing they did, but TRS would probably have that info.

I would guess yours (winks) are easier to get to than mine or shane's b/c of that but dont kow for sure.

It's possible they just used the Civic tubes those places sell. Some people have been known to get them to fit on their trucks. Idk if that's actually what that person did or if this will work on a 4.0 OHV.
There may not actually be a tube like that designed for a 4.0. Check out TRS and see what you can dig up on intakes for the 4.0 OHV.
