picked up the American Muscle CAI for my 95 GT. Lets just say I'm not that impressed......but for the money, it will have to do. Didn't want to shell out big money for a mediocre mod.
First off, I had to purchase a couple of larger hose clamps because the ones in the kit were too small. Secondly, the bracker that holds the filter through the fenderwell....the mounts that fit into the stock rubber grommets......the holes that were drilled were nowhere close. I did manage to get one of them secured along with the rubber grommet and bolt that bolts it to the side of the fender at the top. Annoyances yes....but I did get it to fit half assed.
My bigger concern comes from the size of the filter they include with the kit. It is not very big? Not sure if it has to be, since they say it has more surface area to pull air in from, but I was expecting a little bit more. The filter is approximately 6-7" long and about 5" in diameter then tapering down smaller. (conical)
Will this thing flow enough air with that little filter? ....my car will also be getting a H/C/I swap in the next week or two......
