So i see people running different types of CAI's now the chrome or polished alum one is flashy and catches the eye but does it perform better than any other types that is availible?
CAI
- Thread starter 88stang88
- Start date
word on the skreet is that the JLT CAI's are the best. JLT's design is a little different than the others by placing the MAF in the fenderwell with the filter. Supposedly it yields a cooler charge of air. JLT claims 10-20 whp gain....im skeptical of that. be prepared to pay a premium for the "best"
JLT True Cold Air Intake Kit (1994-95 5.0 MUSTANG) 1994-1995 MUSTANG GT/COBRA JLT COLD AIR INTAKE [CAI-FM50-9495] - $205.00 : JLT PERFORMANCE SHOP, Welcome to JLT performance
IMO, i dont like the idea of having my MAF in the fenderwell unless i never plan to get caught out in a rain storm. im sure its fine but im just paranoid. if your inner fender isnt doing its job, i would think rain and road grime isnt a good thing on your MAF or your filter.

ya i hear you on the water,grime inside the fenderwell paranoia,what about these bbk kits they are fairly cheap compared to the k&n kits know the difference in those and what about the physical material part is that a factor of which runs cooler?

I can tell you one thing about that JLT one, the middle rubber connector is a basic plumbing connector sold at Home Depot.

We have covered CAI's many times in the past 
Lemme just run down the basic tech stuff
and
You can decide about ... appearance
If you are not drawing in cooler air from the outside
then
You won't gain as much hp ... that is when it is coooler
Cool air is dense air thus more hp :Word:
but
If it is hot outside then the gain is minimal or close to none
Bends restrict thus you want NO bends
Metal pipe is thought to be a bad thing due to it getting hot
and
Heating up the temp of air the motor uses
At WOT ... the air is moving by so fast .......
it ain't gonna pick up motor compartment heat or at least .........
it won't be enough to worry about
Again ... We are talkin WOT
You can make your own CAI
with stuff scrounged up at a Home Improvement store for cheap
