Aftermarket Intake tubing and air filter for explorer intake and TB?

[rjrobin2002]

I am wanting this exact set up. What size aluminum tubing, which 2 silicone couplers, and what air filter bolts to the explorer TB?

I’m interested to. Will be needing something similar.

I need to measure tomorrow. I think the TB is like 3.75" and the MAF is like 3.5".

 

[rjrobin2002]

Went and figured it all out....
TB is 3", so I ordered a 3" hose coupler to go from TB to an aluminum 45 degree elbow.
But the MAF is 3.25", so I ordered a reducer coupler that adapts from the 3" aluminum tube to the 3.25" MAF.

Then ordered an adapter that allows you to clamp a 3.5" cone filter on.

Thanks for posting what you have found. Very appreciated.

You figured it out I see... Sorry I didn't see this post sooner. Doug.

#VPE-2774 silicon coupler/reducer, #VPE-2835 silicon coupler/reducer ,#AIS-2-005-45 3.5" aluminum air inlet tube with a 45* bend from Summit.

Blue filter is obsolete from Amsoil, any dry filter will work. #RU-3130 from K&N will give you the sizing.

ACT grommet #MTM 42330 from O'Reilly's. I doubled up the material on the elbow so the grommet would fit better.

So you went 3.5" for your aluminum.

I was just gonna stay the same size as my 3" TB, but I guess 3.5" may flow better and definitely looks better.

Thanks for this! Just got everything from Summit for my build.

Does the explorer flow better than the mustang MAF?

When EFI guy tuned my ECM he had me move to a 3" tube using the new style MAF and wiring, this would be fora 2008 and up mustang. Also this is on a 5.8 with better heads etc.

I’m going to run the 94/95 MAF and the Explorer throttle body. The A9L should be able to run both fine from my research.

Model year Factory MAF size
1993 Mustang 5.0 55 mm
1994–1995 Mustang 5.0 70 mm
1996 Explorer 5.0 70 mm

Vehicle Factory throttle body
1993 Mustang 5.0 GT 60 mm
1993 Mustang Cobra 5.0 65 mm
1996 Explorer 5.0 65 mm
