5.0 Air Intake Hose and Filter

collinbrewer · May 28, 2011

What air intake and filter are you 5.0 guys using. I figured the vendors would have something whipped up but I can't find anything.

I just went on K&N's website and found one with the dimensions I needed. I originally ordered on for a 91 Mustang but it was way too long.

Also, I just got a 3 inch piece of intake hose from autozone to connect the MAF to the intake then just attached the filter right on to the MAF

I found some big rubber plumbing joints at the hardware store that matched the throttle body and MAF.
I have a K&N RU-3130 you can have for price of postage. It has a 3.5" flange diameter. Not sure if that will fit the stock MAF sensor.

I used a Thunderbird 5.0 intake hose. It fits Broncos better than the Mustang one. I will try to post the K&n filter mumber I went with.

im using a tube from a explorer with a cone filter

I use an AEM filter, ts dry unlike a K&N ,the oil can contaminate a MAF sensor.

Thanks for all the tips guys... Isn't there a sensor(IAT?) that needs to go in the tube somewhere?

Thanks for the offer gddyap. I think the stock MAF is 3" but I still may take you up on that offer and just use an adapter of some sort.

If teh Air charge temp sensor is not in the lower intake, you can mount it on the inlet tube. I had to extend my wires a bit.

Ok cool... I'll check into that. Hey Gddyap, you mentioned using plumbing joints, did you have to make up a bung for your ACT or did yours mount to your lower intake?

gddyap · May 31, 2011

Mine is in the lower intake.

trailpsycho · May 31, 2011

I tapped my Explorer lower intake. I also run the AEM Dry-FLow air filter. Its been a good piece.

Hey there gddyap, sent you a private message about that filter.

I moved my battery to the driver's side and used the complete Explorer airbox/ filter.

collinbrewer · Jun 23, 2011

Not a bad idea Pedestrian. Might have to go check my local junkyard and see if I can track down an old Explorer.

Pedestrian,

I think you need a snorkle kit for your eb.;D

Handy though for the occasional flash flooding or for trips to the west side of Oregon.
