CAI Q

95GTV8 · Mar 28, 2006

I now CAI's doesn't really do much for power but i'm thinking of getting one for looks and to clean up the engine bay a little. I currently have a K&N air filter and i'm wondering would the K&N designed for the stock airbox fit onto a Fenderwell style CAI? The K&N is probably 5-6 months old and i'd hate to buy a CAI and not be able to use my K&N. My plan is to find a cheap used CAI on here, or possibly check EBAY although i'm unsure of fitment quality on those cheap CAI's. Thanks.

If i remember right, i had my stock like K&N filter, and i just bolted the MAF sensor straight to the back of the filter. I think mustangworld.com has a write up on it. I didnt buy a new filter for my CAI i made though....

I can't say anything for something you might buy.

but

When I was running my older ported E7 combo.

I rigged up a home made cai with no bends and maf/filter in the fender.

It made a difference that could be felt

Even the more so on cool evenings

Grady, do you have any additional information on building a home-made CAI? I've seen writeups on the net, but your setup sounds very nice. Did you buy most of the materials @ home depot? Do you still have part #'s?

Part numbers

I just went to the plumbing section and poked around for stuff that looked liked it would work

You use the word "nice" ...More like functional ...And ...

Not purty, shiny, blingee, or anything like that

Search way back, like between 1 to 2 years back and you'll see where I posted a bunch of pics and details

You also can see a pic or two on my site

Its nothing but a piece of pipe and two rubber connectors. I also bent a little section of strap Aluminum for a mounting bracket.

Good Ole American Hot Rodding at its BEST ........ BABY

o, well i wasn't sure how you made it some people have used a website that has all the stuff to build a CAI. I'll do some searches thanks for the help. I don't care about bling but i don't like the look of the airbox.

I would just get some silicone elbows and some aluminum tubing and you're set. Polish it up or paint it if u like.

I was looking for some other stuff and ran across what you were asking about.

Just in case you could not find it

Hope it helps
