i'm getting money soon and i want to buy a cold air intake for the truck, but i have a few questions: 1. i want k&n but im not sure what model # is for a 94 3.0L ? 2. will it change the sound of my exhaust? 3. finnally how much (realistically) hp will i gain?

 

honestly you wont even notice a difference i picked up like what 1mpg if that

 

so its not really worth the time/money? just wanted really a better sound.

 

Then go for it.

 

It will help the exaust for sure a little, you are allowing more air than before in, quicker and much easier than before. I have put a Cold Air MAC intake on, Pulleys, and Efan and it sounds a good amount better than before those. I am running a Flowmaster 40 but I would go with a magnaflow or borla if I did it again.

Hope that helps a little..........

 

thanks for the help, anyone have a link for a k&n cold air intake with the tube for my specific truck?

 

Not a link, but that's the set-up I'm running. It changed my mpg's maybe 1 mpg with JUST the intake, but I was getting 3 more mpgs after I had both exhaust and intake on. And since you've got a Flowmaster it should boost your mpgs as soon as you bolt it on.

 

honestly i havnt found a cold air intake for our year rangers...i actully dont think they make one =( but if you find any...please share

 

Not worth the $400 for one. Just go with the cone filter adapters you find in eBay.....and buy a K&N or MAC filter. That nice chrome or black tube isn't worth $300.

I have a MAC filter, adapter, and SS shield....and it sounds great and gets more air in there then the airbox. Only cost me a few bucks too.

 

where u get the shield?

 

I know you can find almost anything online, now, but I love a good parts catalog...
