What is the best cold air kit for my 04 gt?

Save your money for some real bolt ons and get a K and N drop in.

any brand that you can find off ebay... $200+ is a rediculous number for CAI's

Or a "dry" filter if you prefer.
The CAI's are a waste of time and money.

I agree, I usually buy a K&N but I think a CAI looks a little cleaner then a huge plastic box. You arent going to see any more gains from a CAI then you would from a drop in k&n...you probably wont see any gains either way honestly, you defiantly wont be able to tell any difference.

+1 on the JLT

I have a JLT True CAI on mine. I like it and it does the job. I think i paid $220 for it about 3 years ago for it new. Only took about 20mins to put in.

well if you really want one

k@n fipk is good as well as jlt.......or if your like me and cannot justify the price get a k@n drop in or the 75 dollar ram air intake on americanmuscle.com.

I have an FIPK (came on the car when I bought it) and I would NOT buy it again. Its a nice CAI system but its a $300+ piece and the JLT is a better fit-and-finish kit for a fraction of the price. With any K&N part, you're spending more on the name than the part itself.

I got the BBK CAI and I like it for the price I paid. It has given me about 2 mpg more, it adds something to the engine bay instead of just the boring black, and it has a cool sound when you hear the air being sucked in at wot.

really

when was that fipk bought, I have saw some of those on ebay sell for 95 bucks which is way cheap cause they are generally 195 even on ebay.

If you want one go with the JLT but if I was to do it again I would not get a CAI. Now on the s197s they make a big..... difference.

either get a jlt or get the cheap aluminum bbk knock off from american muscle. the bbk one looks slightly nicer but not worth the extra hundred bucks

slick35thgt · May 18, 2010

Cheap eBay intake for the win. Be honest, you are buying it to pretty up the engine bay and trick yourself into thinking you've gained a strong SOTP difference. Don't spend 200+. When my car was still a 4.6 it ran 9 flat 1/8th passes all day long with factory K&N cone intake setup. No need in spending the extra change for a name.
