If you see a gain , you probably could have used a piece of PVC and a straight K&N and seen the same results.01bullittstang said:home made? hahahhahaha. Seriously man it's not the same. And dont compare it to your "buddies" fox one. This isn't a fox mustang. Later. But maybe it's because my car has a different intake that I gained more rwhp than you regular GT guys.

And just like with drugs, minutes later after posting I still feel stupid for evengetting involved

i have no dyno proof but i removed my cold air and put my stock airbox back on (no silencer) and i felt a slightly stronger pull in the midrange. there's no doubt that the bend in the cai tube will cause a wierd reading on the sampling tube. and it also makes sense, that the faster the air goes around that bend, the air can change direction slightly as it goes faster. even though the air is being pulled in, not pushed, the air still has instantaneous momentum that can shift and change direction coming off that bend.
bottom line, mine is now a paperweight.. thats most likely why the K&N fipk2 is a best bet because the filter sits directly in front of the sensor and no bends are evident. thats also why putting the maf in the fender with the filter can add benifits over a standard cai. just my $.02.

That's what happen to( I will specify) my car .
The tubing(elbow) is messing the air/flow path thru the MAF, creating a really uneven A/F curve resulting of a lost of Torque & HP, but without a Dyno it's impossible for me to fell a 1 to 2 HP increase or lost.Yes we can hear a nice sound when we step on the gas but that dosen't mean we gained something..
This thread is getting out of control...
where did you get that tube? i was trying to find something similar but keep a stock style induction boxLI98GTStang said:I learned a lot by reading these CAI threads besides their obvious entertainment value. Sticking with the theory of less bends is better, I got just the DC TB tube only ($60.00 shipped) which does lessen the turns the air takes to get from the airbox to the TB. I did Keep the stock airbox and removed the silencer. Works for me and look a hell of a lot better looking than that wafflely POS stock piece. And yeah, I'm not kidding myself, it's pretty much a nicer looking piece of curved PVC tube with connecting rubber pieces to mate up with the car. But it is also better job than I could have done with a home depot special and took all of a few minutes to install. As far as documented performance, no pre/post dyno numbers or track time.
