air intake question?????

[tyler wright]

i wen;t to auto zone the other day and saw a intake filter i was wondering if there was anyway that it would work on my sport trac......is there already tubing that goes in the bumper so all i would have to do is put it on on put the top back on and it would be a cold air intake

no. If you pop your hood you'll see the stock air box.... thats where your air filter is.

i know that but i'm replacing the flat filter with the cone and take the flat one out

If you want to get a conical filter kit on the cheap ($30 or so) go to Ebay.



You will get the filter and the needed adapter components.



If you are going for a true "cold air" intake, you may use that filter from autozone, and a few hours customizing.......



cheers,

Replace the airbox with the cone filter and you got yourself a genuine hot air intake.



In order to make a cold air intake, you need to seal the air filter from underhood heat (Volant has a box for theirs, K&N makes a baffle plate for some models), you could extend the intake tube and place the filter out of the engine bay, for an extra measure, route a hose from a cold, high-pressure area to the filter.
