This page covers the install of the MAC Intake for 2.3 dohc Ford Rangers, Part # 3123.

It's a perfect replacement for the ugly stock airbox, and it does provide much better airflow. I recommend it to anyone who , wants more from their engine.

Stock exhaust. Notice the A/C hose wraps around the air box	Notice the resonators or "warts" on the stock exhaust. These reduce sound and soak up lots of heat.	Here's a close up of the resonators.
The big resonator has it's own aluminum bracket to support it. The bracket can be reused to support the power steering reservoir, or can be removed.	Here's the engine with the intake system removed.	Here's where the factory air box was located. Notice that the A/C hose will rotate, so that you can remove the air box.
The stock MAF is removed from the stock intake and bolted to the MAC intake bracket. Here's a shot of the 2.3 dohc MAF.	Push the MAF and MAC adaptor plate into the stock air box mounting holes (picture missing) Then clamp the intake pipe to the engine.	Now attach the intake pipe to the MAF adaptor, and clamp on the filter.
Connect the stock PCV pipe into the gasket on the MAC intake. You need to pull this pipe out of the factory intake if you forgot when you removed the intake.	The wiring for the MAF attaches to the flanges in the MAC intake.	Tighten all 5 clamps, and move A/C hose back into position.
The bracket from the big resonator is attached around the power steering pump, so I need to get shorter bolts to remove it. I'll leave it attached for now.	The filter that comes with the MAC system is called "Racers Choice" and is a long life renewable filter. I find it to be a bit flimsy as compared to a K&N. It has a lifetime warranty, so we'll see.	This was a picture without the throttle cover. We wanted to see if it looked better without it.
	The overall results were very good, and for $140 you can't beat the price.
