installed some upgrades
I finally installed a few upgrades for my 98 Ranger B4000 lol(its a mazda). I added a MAC cold air intake and a Gibson 2.5" SS cat back. Didn't add any low end, but defanately added some top end. Sounds great too. almost like a V8, instead of all these little bumble bee in a coffee can things kids are putting on these days. When the $$$ gets back up to par I'm going to get a Diablo Delta chip. Hopefully it will help the low end grunt a bit more, and make better use of the avalable power. Anybody else using the Diablo Delta with a 4.0? I'd like to hear your thoughts about it.

just cruising along it's not much louder than stock. I'm sure the mpg will be somewhat better, because I have noticed that the RPM's are lower at highway speeds. I'll let you know sometime this week what I get. Either way, it won't be that great since I'm running 33x12.50 tires.

well, for some reason the metal tube didn't fit right on my truck, so I wasn't able to use it
. Gonna put some heat shield insulation around the tube to make up for it though
. I had to order the part for a 98 ranger 4.0 since nothing is hardely ever listed for my mazda. I don't know if that was the issue or because i have a body lift or what. Either way I like it! Sounds great and a noticable difference in power. Nothing to brag about, but noticable. I would stay away from K&N. I dont' know from personal experience, but I've heard some very knowladgable people say the K&N's let alot more dirt in with the extra air. But that's only hear say.
