Sorry for not being clear.
I was looking for alternatives out side of replacing the the stock with another like kind.

Is there a performance or otherwise, replacement or alternative, for the stock box/intake/filter?

K&N and Airaid, the two big dogs in truck performance do not have a replacement kit for the air intake system for a Bronco II.

Most have a replacement filter, but I'm looking for the complete air intake system.

If you know of something that I don't, then you have the answer to my original question.

Please referrer me to URL's or part numbers of items that you know of.

If your looking for an replacement for the Air filtering system K&N
is a good choice,
I just purchased a simular product, The INTIMIDATOR from
american products company, www.4apc.net.(it's made in Cali ? )
it should fit right on the intake end of the plenum, then I'll get rid of the supply tube, looks like there should be enough room for it.

the new dodge neon 95+ intake works for bronco 2 if you go on
www.ebay.com and type "neon intake" it will give you some setups for cheap. its not a real k&n but a K&n like filter should work pritty good hope this helps

here is a setup installed on a b2

Ok, I have the Intake installed, but what did you do with the vacume hose that is originally attached to the top half of the black box?

I think you'll have to cap it at the manifold, I don't think you can make the warm air system work with the aftermarket intake.

I was wondering which would have the most advantage. A cold air setup or just getting a K&N filter that fits the stock box? What are the advantages to cold air other than the stock warm air box with a really good filter? Thanks

Im not sure if u know this but the stock intake is cold air intake. there is a tube coming out of the box going to the front the the grill whe u drive cold aor is forced into the tube right to the filter giving your car cold fresh air directly to your engine

Im my opinion i would say do u go off road or in the mud ? i bought a neon off ebay but the smuck punked me and never sent it. but now i think my stock setup is better since i go through mud and water alot it keeps the intake more protected. A neon will sound better but as far as power not sure if k&n stock or neon is better.

Here's what I just experienced.
I replaced the intake and box (Which had a very dirty filter) with a Neon Cold Air Intake.

Now Neon "Cold Air" intake is misleading as the filter will sit right where the old box used to be sucking in engine heat.

I noticed a slight change in sound, but did not see any real significant change after resetting the computer and running it for a couple of weeks.

So this past weekend I replaced the original box, and yes it does attach to a baffle in th3 from grille, and I put in a K&N stock filter.

105% better performance. It now pulls my trailer up hills that it could not before.

After trying booth, the stock setup with a K&N filter works great!

My next step is to try a JetChip. (They have one for the Bronco II)

Thanks 90bronco2 I just got home with my new K&N filter and I am thinking about the chip as well. I might go with headers first though, I am not sure... Let me know how that chip works if you get it.
