RE: explorer manifold vs stock manifold
Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I run one and it works great. The exact same thing flow wise as the GT40 Tubular, it just looks uglier. I picked mine up at my local junkyard for a $100.00
You can expect an easy 20-25 RWHP gain with the explorer intake, 70mm TB/ EGR Plate and bigger MAF Meter.
If it is a 97 back I think you need to run an EGR spacer. If its 97+ it has a built in EGR passage. Also there is alot of holes to plug. All you need is a vaccum for your fuel relulator and a source for the vaccum tree on the firewall next to the brake booster. Plug everything else.

Thanks for chiming in...we like real world info from guys who have actually DONE it and can tell us what to look for.
Great job,

yeah 2.3 60ft's trapping 93.33 shifting at 5k
I think I will do the intake swap... I need to get a bit more power out of her this summer yet..
I will be eliminating the egr valve, and continuing with the speed density so I will use my stock egr spacer for the time being, and then just getting the bare explorer manifold and plenum

If the stock is 55mm then I would def think that the Expo intake with TB is a nice upgrade..
