I just bought a K&N FIPK today for my 03 4.6 Explorer and was wondering if anyone else has and what was your overall satisfaction feeling?

Also my next item I'll be adding is a Magna Flow cat back and was also wondering if anyone has one and thoughts?

I'm just trying to liven up the rig.-Fred

 

...Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!

See you on the boards. ….

 

Thanks for the welcome aboard.

I've actually changed my mind about getting the Magna Flow cat back, and going with the Gibson swept side instead. Only reason being $$$ and performance is supposed to be real similar. I've found that I can get the Aluminized Gibson for $266.95 and claims 15-20 HP. It should work well with the cold air kit I purchased.-Fred

 

I'd take those performance increase claims from K&N and Gibson with a grain of salt, but one thing's for sure - it'll definitely sound great!

Hey Fred you should look into some headers for your explorer. Bet that would give you some increase in hp. What would you people reccomend are the top 3 mods????? the ones that really work for your explorer>??I was just curious what everyone has to say about them and if theyre worth it>>???And is there a suprerchip or performance monitor for the explorer??/??

Thanks

Make sure you take notice of where in the powerband all this power comes from.

Most of the exhaust systems will RPM higher and that is where the higher numbers come from.

It does nothing to very little in the powerband where you drive most.

Yeah I agree but you never know when an unsupecting Dodge might pull up beside you at a red light! j/k-Fred
