03 Explorer 4.6 KnN question?

I am looking for a KnN replacement air filter but I don't know where i can find one. Is the complete intake better the just the drop in filter for this truck? There are no mods to it at all,... well minus the stereo
Any links would be great
Thanks
Edgar

I would just stick with the filter. Most of the kits draw in the hot air from under the hood and the cooler outside air will make better power.

Yeah thats what i was thinking. I know about the cold air intakes but every car/truck engine is different.
Any one know where i can get the filter from? Guess i'll look at the KnN web site and see if they list dealers..............

Check your local auto store, the Kragen autoparts by my house carries k&n air and oil filters.

This links to k&n dealers.

If that doesnt work, thier website has links to distributors where you can order them online.

If you want to order online.

A little bit better throttle response. My Mustang picked up 1/10th of a second in the 1/8th mile at the race track from just a filter change.

03 Explorer 4.6 KnN question?

Gaining additional power is tricky to detect without proper test equipment, but my gas gauge don't lie. After replacing my stock air filter with a K&N filter my average gas mileage increased from 13.3 mpg to 14.4 mpg. I drive to work the same way every day at 35 - 45 mph .

Now I'm a believer.
