The 2004 4.0 should be exactly the same as the 2009 4.0 right? I don't see why Ford would have changed things but I suppose the plug length/depth could be different.

I hooked up some 8 inch subs behind my driver seat.

Rangers have a factory CAI,just remove the restrictor. Save yourself a couple hundred bucks. Search air silencer removal. Its very simple, opens a wider port for air flow.

Re: what will sound deeper and aggressive

I could argue the point either way, you would have to meet them to understand :)
