    have you put it on the motor to see? i have never heard of the gt40 and explorer lower to be offset like that i had them both and never noticed that

    I haven’t installed it yet, but I have been doing a lot of research and everything I have read, even from Kenne Bell says I can’t use the explorer intake. It’s only 1/8” so it would be difficult to notice unless it was causing belt alignment or another issue.

    Internet can be full of a lot of hear-say and just plan bullshit. Most have no friggen clue even the so called pros tuners.....that’s a different rant.
    but that being said, the intake cost is minor and you could probably sell it for a couple of bucks anyways. I have always been a fan of the aftermarket intakes over stock.
    Welcome to the world of mod’n cars, if this is your only hiccup along the way then consider yourself lucky.
