well i went ahead and ditched the old k&n cold intake i had on my 2003 3.0

[IMG][/IMG]

it was a nice quality unit but sucked too much engine heat in,due to the crappy heat shield thing it came with.
so went to this from Roush and hillbank still has a few left

now there was only one thing i did not like was the cheap paper filter it came with

[IMG][/IMG]

so with a little modding a k&n element and some gasket material, to help seal the edges more,this is what i got

much better for blocking the heat from the engine than before
and quieter also

its a cheap economical intake for about a 110.00 bucks and any budget

 

+ this http://www.freewebs.com/arizonarider...ldairintak.htm =cool set up.

 

Looks identical to my Thunderbolt intake.

 

nice!

 

Looks good.
Since that just replaces the air box and 2.3, 3.0 and 4.0 airboxes are all the same - could this be made to work for a 4.0???

 

if I were you I would use the K&N tube with that...it will flow better

 

I was thinking that to. However, I love my K&N fipk, and no plans to change it. I may go with an AEM dry filter later on, but im happy. It does what I need it to do. It has the walls with the rubber on top and thats enough for me.

Edit, the 04 one like mine have a better heatsheild than that 03 one pictured there.

 

actually let me rephrase that...I think you misunderstood me

I was saying you should use the K&N tube/cylinder with the roush airshield...

 

I knew what you ment. Just use the K&N tube with the roush box.

 

this makes me wanna make a heat shield for my cone filter soon

 

it is

i dont think so due to the 4.0 having a bigger diameter intake(could be wrong)

that was my initial idea but due to the length and angle of the k&n tube it would not fit

ya that was the problem i had was the heat shield was wimpy at best

so far she is working much better than the old K&N

 

u keep the old k&n parts?

 

nope sold them already exept the gasket and pipe to hose adpt for the crank
vent
used them on this one

 

can you still hear it sucking in air? does the heat shield do anything noticeable.

 

nice and for a good price.

 

its much quiter than the k&n unit and the heat shield helps out alot and i notice it running better

 

very nice

 

looks good

 

well its good that it runs better, but I love to hear a loud intake.

 

i dont know but i got tired of hearing it lol but the exhaust sounds better

 

nicee. i need to make a heat shield for mine

 

What exactly does the head shield accomplish?

 

oh bummer. Well it looks good anyways!

 

no more heated air from the engine bay being sucked in

 

I went to look at them

It won't work on my 2007...damn molded into the airbox MAF. With my intake that would be perfect. Oh well.
