'94/'95 5.0 CAI options. Which system are u runnin?

Not really worth anything with just a few bolt-ons. It does clean up the engine bay nicely though. I just got a cheapy of ebay. Works fine.

get a k&n filter

I got the $30 Ebay kit on mine for the time being. I plan on making my own when I buy a welder. For now this is cheap and effective. I only used part of the kit.

don't waste too much money on one. its not worth it. save it for gears

Yep, they're not worth it. No matter what the ad says.

I made my own out of 3in PVC and fernco's. Painted it black and got a K&N filter kit that has a filter and a maf adapter.

I now have that adap. mounted to my 98gt maf that I am now going to run...I had to redrill some of the holes but it fits really well.

just make your own.

I always suspect actual results of a mod that is known to give small or subtle gains at best when I see others say things like ........

"I felt a difference when I did that mod!"

A CAI would certainly fall in that camp.

however

I really did feel a difference with my home made CAI

The difference is noticed when the temps are lower
After the temps climb, the bulk of the gain is gone

Mine is home made with the filter/maf behind the headlight.

Here are a couple things I think helped my efforts

1. it doesn't draw hot air from the engine compartment
2. filter to elbow ... straight shot ... only ONE 45 degree bend

Not only did I feel a difference ..........

Dlogs show airflow gains from nothing but pipe change

Bends and filter location DO make a difference

I picked up airflow by deleting one 90 degree bend

My final thoughts about CAI's would be ...........

they can be effective
but
not all of em are
