Its the right one and the instructions apply just the same. They are just old ones that MAC hasn't changed to add the newer years but the 99-04 are the same for installation
It does not fit. I called MAC and they said that they didn't make a CAI for my engine. I have a 3.9L engine not a 3.8L so it wont work. So could you please tell me how to send back the intake for a refund.
Thanks

Dude, seriously do you realize your 3.9 is exactly the same as a 3.8L? Its only off be slight internal things that make it a 3.9L but everything that fits 01+ will fit your model. If you want me to get you some proof from my customers I can, but I can't refund it when I know that it 100% fits. What was the name of the REP you spoke with so I can call MAC directly about it bc I know for a fact it fits, I have friends who have them on.

take a pic of the CAI, if it has a 90* bend then your right it wont, it should have a nice little 45*ish bend it in from the MAF to the TB which was changed in 01 when they redid the upper intake and got 3 more HP and 5 more ft.lbs, the difference between the 3.8 and the 3.9 (really a 3.825L) is just a slightly longer stroke because ford wanted to get rid of the bad rep of headgasket failure that has stuck with the 3.8 even though it was fixed in mid way 96. autobadges has great customer service if something is wrong, but i think its more of the it says 3.8 it automatically wont fit thing

The MAF bolts to the turned pipe and you use the blue hose to CLAMP the other pipe to it..its how ALLLLL MAC CAI's or any intakes for that matter are installed
see:
Do you even know what a MAF looks like???? That big black piece is NOT your MAF, you MAF is INSIDE of it...here is what it looks like and you can see it in the picture above, where it goes and HOW it goes. Please TRUST ME when I saw its the perfect kit!!

Yes, take the MAF out of the black case. The flanged part of the lower tube (the one that insets into the fender well) bolts to the flanged portion of the MAF with 4 bolts and nuts. I personaly like to use some black permatex to make a nice gasket between the MAF and fender portion of the CAI. The BLUE tube connects to the rounded end of the MAF with the supplied (I assume) hose clamp. It's pretty darn simple. Just make sure the MAF is at a 90 degree angle to the bottom of the car. Don't forget to plug the MAF back in and you should be all set.
Oh yeah, it's also a good idea to disconect the neg (black) lead on the the battery for 20 minutes to reset the computer. This will ensure you get the fullest gain from your new CAI.
