But i guess it doesn't hurt to see what part number you have and compare it with these:<br /><br />1557 - which is the fenderwell kit<br />or<br />1556 - which is basically a ram air system<br /><br />There's an adapter tube for non-MAF ( speed density ) 5.0 mustangs, but you have a 1990 so it shouldn't be applicable.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any more questions!<br /><br />- Michael <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Marks93</b> <br /><small>Member # 11130</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,2,2,15,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Didn't it come with a MAF relocation bracket to move the MAF to the correct position to fit? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jeff H</b> <br /><small>Member # 13341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,2,3,1,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Dunno, I bought it used so no knowledge of what's supposed to go with what... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jeff H</b> <br /><small>Member # 13341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,2,3,4,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Michael , you have a good point there as the kit might be set up for speed density,but I have two different width tubes for either side of the MAF sensor so that would rule out speed density only I think, Another possibility is the explorer upper& lower half I have substituted for the stock intake. could the explorer intake be marginally longer than the stock intake? changing the angle & length of the connecting tube between where the MAF sensor sits and the throttle body?

Unsure about the difference between stock, the explorer and the cobra intake but i've never had a problem with any air intake mating to any of them.<br /><br />I would definitely do a recap of everything that came with your air intake. I believe I have one in stock, i'll open the box and give you a list of parts as a check list to make sure you have everything.<br /><br />I hope this helps<br /><br />- Michael<br /><br />EDIT: Here's a list of everything that should be in the box:<br /><br />2 - Intake Tubes / Elbows<br />1 - Air Filter<br />3 - Silicone Couplers<br />1 - Heat Shield <br />6 - Band / Hose Clamps<br />All Necessary Hardware:<br />4 - Bolts<br />1 - Rubber Washer<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2015-03-03, 08:25 AM: Message edited by: Sinister Mustang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92_5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 7624</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,2,6,14,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You have to unbolt the MAF from its factory location. once its coupled with the tubing it will be fine.
