C.A.I. for '99 F150 4.2L V6
OK Guys, I know there are plenty of options out there for the 4.2L V6, if you've got one, let me know what you think & about how much $$$ your's ran.
Thanks! |
I had a MAC kit (intake plenum and filter) on my 2000 model.
I thik it was about $140. I never really noticed any change in performance or mpg. Maybe a little diff at real high rpm, but if there was any, it wasn't much. I liked the filter; being able to wash, dry, re-oil, and re-use. Some don't like them and think they don't do a good job. I'm not one who believes that. I bought a K&N oiled media filter for my 2005 and it too is doing a fine job - at least at 117,000 miles it seems to be. |
Here's the one I'm looking @ getting. Does this look like a good deal?

Looks like that would work.
This is the one I had on my 2000 http://www.macperformance.com/store/...Product_ID=289 Regarding messing with the computer, check this thread if you haven't already: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...it-or-not.html |
I went ahead and ordered the AirAid. It's in, but I'm a little hesitant to put it in. If I do install it, and end up getting a check-engine light, will reinstalling the stock unit clear the light, or could it do permanent damage? I was told that with a new intake, more air is given to the engine (duh), and causes the air/fuel ratio to become unstable, and the engine could fail. Not something I want to go through.
