anyone using explorer intake?(dark5.0)
I will be installing it tommorow, providing it doesnt rain, but what do i do with the vaccuum lines? i realize i'll need to compare it with my stocker to see what is needed, but is there any certain size vacuum caps/plugs i'll need? i'll also be bypassing coolant lines......thnx for any help.
I really like the intake, alot of people think it's ugly, i like the upper design.

This should help some. There are many ways to run them but this is how I did mine. http://forums.mustangworks.com/showt...xplorer+intake

what did you do with the canister line, the one that normally connects to the front underside of the intake? did you just extend the fpr line to connect to the front? thanx alot.

Cool raptor, that is the emmisions and fpr on the back, just as i thought, i'll leave it unplugged (emmissions) do you think it is necessary to cut the long vac ports??
dark5.0, do you think that bottom barb will clear my stock valve covers? guess there is one way to find out.

My car has no emissions crap on it. I ran the Fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose to the front cause its easy to unplug the vaccum hose to set my fuel pressure with it in the front.
