Default Would this be of any use on my 2001?

Hey all, I have a 2001 v6 stang an I've been looking at this on ebay and wondering about it, becuase I've seen you all talk about cold air intakes, saying they're good and needed. So could you check this out and see if its worth anything, and should I get it? here it is. eBay Motors: 99 00 01 02-04 MUSTANG V6 3.8L BLACK COLD AIR INTAKE (item 290271815651 end time Nov-30-08 10:31:20 PST)= Also what is this about MAF sensor or whatever.. would that interfere? And last, my brother's girlfriend has a 2001 v6 just like mine, but her's has more power. of course i dont like this, lol, but have no idea how it could be. any advice would be appreciated!

one more thing.. i have this >>eBay Motors: Performance Chip Ford Mustang 2001 Gas Fuel Saver Power (item 380076917693 end time Nov-27-08 19:24:02 PST) installed in my car already. do you suppose this is actually making any difference, or is it just crap, or could it even be hurting my performance in any way?

No and no. Don't get it. Get a CAI from AM for $75 and get a trusted tuner like Diablo or SCT.

CAI are all about the same. But when it comes down to it for 25.00
you get what you pay for!

Agreed. For just $23 more you can get the CAI from American Muscle. The "chip" you have is crap, it doesn't do anything. +35 HP my ass. Even an STC only gives a stock V6 19hp.

Looks good under the hood, better TB response, a little performance and it sounds cool I would get the one on AM over the ebay one, that's just me though.

(i called her my brother's girlfriend earlier, forgetting that they just got married last saturday!) I know her's doesn't have any mods or anything.. all stock. but it seems so stronger and more powerful than mine, more get up and go. why the heck?
