[offroadrich]

Ok what cold air intake and filter will give me the most HP gain?

 

[offroadrich]

Whats the best bang for the buck?

i got a mac performace filter for 25 bucks....and u can use the K&N recharge kit...and u can look around for a used inlet pipe...to give it a better flow

 

[DARKHORSE02]

i was told JLT. so thats what i got. i like it.

 

[Jimmerz]

i got a c&l...

I have a C&L inlet pipe, connecting to a dense charger fenderwell intake, lol.

The reason why I did not remove the Dense Charger, was that there would have been a nice circle inside the fender. So....made my own custom intake with 2 brand name parts!

You don't need to spend a truck load on an intake system, a K&N intake system is fine, JLT, the C&L system, etc.

I am pretty sure I posted this before but if you are looking to squeeze every little bit of power out of your car then get a plastic/pvc/ect.. RAM air intake.

Over 35mph a RAI will outperform a CAI. Any way you slice it though you are gaining very little power with one.

clasic design concepts shaker hood matched with k&n filter equals ram air!!!!

I have a K&N its fine, notin special, some people say JLT is the way to go. If i had to do it again I might go for the JLT just for shits and giggles but the K&N is a good one

I love my C&L tru-flo inlet matched by a K&N filter. Might be for sale soon too

JLT imo!

You could make your own JLT from HD for alot cheaper.

 

[94Gt5.0]

Eh you could, but you still need the elbows and clamps and such.

 

[Chris2kGT]

The only part that I have needed to source out would be a MAF adapter. They do not sell anything that would work. I have tried HD, and Lowes.

I have a JLT on mine as well. It will come with the maf adapter.

but if you do decide to build your own here is where you can get the adapter:

I think the cold air intake is a waste of time but if you want one then go to a performance shop that does intercoolers and such, get 3" alum. piping 2 feet long, hit up home depot for two elbows and theres your cold air intake. That will be cheap and if you really feel it adds power and you are going for sex appeal of the year, then you can spend 200 or so on a peace of pipe.

I am going with the JLT cai on mine, its $230 but what the hell.

 

[Chris2kGT]

If you are hell bent on a after market intake go with a RAI. The short ram-air setups make more horsepower, period!

Although, either a CAI or RAI are fairly weak on the HP gains for the 99-04 Mustangs. It comes down to a few hp that your not going to feel. If you do then your getting a placebo effect.

I've got the JLT piece on mine.. Nice quality. Alone I don't think it does much but when you have other mods that go together with it, it makes more sense.

They add a whistle to your ride.
