Re: K&N
don't! they do nothing for the ranger! except make your wallet lighter.
your actually going to ruin the best air intake system already on a stock truck.

Get the intake it will give you more performance. the stock intake is the best OEM(factory) intake they put on a car not the best aftermarket intake.I have a k&n drop in and I already noticed a bit more pull and better gas mileage. people are stupid when they say that it doesn't work. results may vary but untill you dyno your truck like k&n does on every product they make and you get results that say it doesn't work,don't tell people biased inaccurate bs.

Well your experiencing less turbulent air. Mostly low end effects but I just can't believe people use these filters in off road vehicles, their meant for high flow, not particle protection. Any filter I can read a sentence on paper through will not go on my truck. Anyways, what I would like is a K&N air tube or similar with the stock air box. Hope it gives good results and doesn't do this to your intake.

If I got a cai (not K&N but they are basically all the same) and I got throttle body spacers would there be a difference cause my friend has both and his ranger kills me everytime

I put the filter from a cai on my stock intake and all i heard was a whistle and took it off. It was my friends and it wasnt for a ranger so that may have been the problem.

Re: K&N
Bahahahahahahahahaha!
Go right ahead and put that K&N piece of shit on your truck. Dyno your truck before and after, and come back with the results.
Nicktheman2013, if I told you I stole your Ranger, does that mean I really did? Just because K&N says they dyno every vehicle they make a drop in for doesn't mean shit. Companies aren't afraid to lie so that their products sell. Learn the ways of the real world and quit believing every little thing you read.

Re: K&N
fwiw, no one has been able to provide any sort of data to back the claim they do nothing. I can personally say, they help. They help at WOT. You will not see increase in mileage, or HP. But, under WOT conditions, the motor will pull alot harder.

Re: K&N
I have a k&n cone on mine and I get the whistle, cant comment on a difference since I bought the truck with it but its the ops truck let him do what he wants
plus it looks alot cleaner than the stock intake.
