Re: How To: Air Silencer Removal (Cold Air Intake)
I removed the silencer and cut a bigger hole in the front of the box. Lot moe difference in sound on my 3.0L. Now I just need to do the exhaust!

So you are removing 2 pieces total correct? The snorkel and the piece that was attached to behind the headlight?

Crowbar is what I used... No wd-40...

I realized I did this to my truck about a year ago before I knew it was a mod, and between this and the throttle cable, my k&n and exhaust it goes pretty fast for a big 4x4 with a tiny v6 I added a 3" front piece to mine to keep mud out but mud and water still gets in the intake pretty badly so I'm gonna work on a new idea...
I can't post pics in this thread?? 
So before I would cruise at 70 (like 77-78mph with the 32"s) in 5th the truck would not go any faster in 5th and now I cruise at 82-83 (90-91mph) in 5th and noticeably much more acceleration in high gears. Also I have never had one part of my filter get dirtier than another part.... Maybe because the places I go everything gets really dusty/dirty/muddy...

Re: How To: Air Silencer Removal (Cold Air Intake)
thank you for the how to,
i did that it easily with a flat head screwdriver to help to torque it out of my 2011 sport ranger.
i didnt notice any change in the sound or in performance of mpg ratio, i got infos and heard that without and ecu chip change for the simple reason that your computer is set to suck a certain amount of air and nothing more , you can change it via programmers or ecu chips.

This mod has nothing to do with performance enhancing, all it does is make it louder when you step on the gas. Your engine will function the same.
