What is the best, within a reasonable price, CAI for 89-93 MAF mustangs?
I was thinking BBK, or MAC.
Leaning more towards BBK.

Oh..what are some good prices?

Pic the one that has the best appearance (subjective) and the best price (objective). Performance-wise they are no better than the stock box with the silencer removed and a K&N flat panel installed. See the article....

the best cold air kitthat is on the market is the densecharger cold air kit. i bought one after using them all, and it works the best. its award winning. look in MM&FF magazing, or 5.0 magazine. And is like 175 dollars. and it looks good under the hood. but that is just my opionion on the whole product. get what YOU want.

....and the least expensive cold air kit is factory 'cold air' box. Just remember, the one thing you don't want to do is to hang the open filter on the end of the maf under the hood where it picks up hot underhood air.
