Difference between 03 and 04

I just picked up my new 04 Explorer Limited and I am on the market for performance mods like Air intake and Cat back.

looks like they fit the 02-03 but not the 04.

Can someone tell me what is the difference between my new engine and the 02-03 one ?

I know the difference between my '02 and '04 is, The Mass airflow sensor is attached to the air box in the '04 where in the '02 you can remove it by taking off 4 screws.

Granatelli is working on MAF sensors to replace the new-style, which is held on with 2 Torx screws and is flat rather than round. Last time I called, was told at least the end of August...........maybe longer.
