So i currently run a stainless tube and a cone filter. I hate it and want to go back to the stock airbox. I am currently running a 75mm MAF, a 70mm throttle body, an ported explorer intake and ported gt40 p heads. Will this setup be a bottle neck for the rest of my air induction? or is it sufficient for my setup? Thanks.
I don't have the data to back up a yes or no answer. All I can provide is my "best guess" based on the knowledge I've acquired from doing this stuff. If the metal inlet tube has a larger inner diameter than the factory rubber inlet tube, then there would be a restriction if you were to revert back to the factory tube. However, the metal tube soaks up more heat than rubber, so it could be that the restriction is an even trade versus the heat soak. You could always wrap the metal tube in heat tape, but you've already said that you don't like it. At the end of the day, I think we would be splitting hairs on power differences. If you watch the review video of this kit (link in the description), we perform a before and after dyno of a car that had a metal "cold air intake". The car made 3 more horsepower, but lost about 1 lb-ft of torque. Again, splitting hairs. With such little difference, you would have to consider the small variances between dyno runs. If you're all about power and torque and possibly bracket race the car where every little modification is crucial, then I wouldn't worry about it. If you think the factory look out weighs any potential pros from the metal tube, just buy the factory intake kit. Hope this helps. -Landan
Hey Moses, I'm sorry to hear about that! If you can, please contact our customer service team and we'd be more than happy to discuss the issue! lmr.com/contact
@@latemodelrestoration then... maybe mention that in the video...instead of saying "fox owners still with Speed Density, would JUST omit the MA step"?? That conveys the message that it will work for Speed Density setups And yes, I'm a blast to party with.
This is awesome been looking for a good quality replacement for my 93
You’ve missed installing the air silencer.....
SO MUCH BETTER LOOKING!!!! I've long hated those "cold air" intake. They look cheap and trashy.
How do you remove the air box studs if they’re broken?? The rubber part snapped off and the bottom stud is still in
Without seeing a picture of your situation, I'm just going to guess. Try turning the stud from within the fender well. -Landan

Junk bolts in my kit for the mass air flow bracket are to short. Box came cracked at the corner.

Will the air tube extend for the Speed Density hook up?
The air tube and kit is designed to fit with MAF sensors not speed density
