What's the best air intake?

Ultimatum · 07-30-2008

First off i know it probably has been discussed but i dont have the time and the patience to search every page in the forums but what is the best air intake, i'm thinking about getting a K&N performance intake but im not sure if there are better ones out there.

another thing im recently changing my car to a true dual exhaust, do i need to buy stainless steel exhaust hangers and should i just have them hang below my bumper or have the shop see if they can make cuts. Thanks

American Muscle CAI's will do the job and costs less then $80 with the discount code. Contact AMNick for the code

yea i was thinking about a CAI too but the only thing is im nervous about Hydrolocking, i live in NJ it doesnt rain much but it can get bad, plus i don't know all the pros and cons of getting a CAI, i only know a few

Pros: Easy to install, looks nice, more aggressive engine sound, better mpg(depending how you drive) Better TB response and improved performance.

Cons: It costs money

well that says it all, then i guess i just have to make sure not to drive in very deep puddles

How many inches of rain do you get over in NJ?

Ultimatum · 07-31-2008

im not sure of the exact amount but we can get what's left of a hurricane which can be up maybe 2-4 inches, sometimes it'll rain everyday from monday to friday but sometimes it doesnt rain for a week or so

I lived in hawaii for 4 years. I was there one year when it rained for 50days straght (not joking) !!!! We got alot of feet of water. Never had a problem with the "cai". Plus it rains there almost every day just not that bad! Go for it you wont have any problems!

I had a bunch of friends that had mustangs from the fox to the new body style (the mustang is very popular over there

). Almost all of them had at least a cold air intake. None had any problem after all that rain!

damn i should go over to hawaii just to see all the mustangs they have over there haha...yea i just have to pick which company cai to use, i hear the K&N fuel injection cai adds up to 12-19 hp so i might go with that

Don't believe what the company hp claims. Thats just to sell their product. A simple CAI from American Muscle will do the job and it'll leave you some extra cash in your wallet for other mods too. Also Hawaii is very nice

I'm with you on not believing what the company says also. Sure it shown 12-19hp gains. But they never said what they also did to the rest of the motor to get the gains! A tube with no brand name vs. a tube with a brand name all do the same!

Hawaii was nice just hate paying for the gas!!!!

How much was gas over in Hawaii when you went? I didn't even bother to look at the gas prices lol. Of course this was back in 2004 so gas prices were nowhere near as bad as today.

4.78 for reg!!!!!! I'm glad I got out of there in time!

A HALF gal. of Orange jucie costed $9.00.
