Cold Air intake Q's waiting for A's

Kronos · Apr 25, 2008

Hey fellas,

Been out of the loop for a while (good to be back by the way)
and i was just wondering if the K&N FIPK is worth the money or if there is something better out there I know there are a lot of opinions out there but I would like to here some testimonials too if possible.

Thanks
-Dave

What year is your car? I for the BBK one, its does everything the K&N does and makes it look a little batter as well.

remove the silencer and leave the stock filter, or go with a kn if you want, and call it a day. No need for a cold air kit, they really dont do anything.

cold air kit = waste of money

get yourself a drop in k&n thats all you need

+1 it's a waste of money, but I have one. My stock intake was all crappy looking so that’s the reason I bought one.

jlt makes the best piece for ours and i think its worth the money. it is a quality piece.

Roos85 · Apr 26, 2008

Well mine looks nice, sounds good and I beleive it helps the slightest bit. I bought one, easy mod.

I think KN and JLT are the only intakes that are worth a damn. The BBK kit is chrome, and it gets hot, the diameter is smaller too, while the JL is huge, and the K&N flares at the ends. Theres is a dyno somewhere on mustang forums.com that showed a consistant 4 HP loss with the BBK. and everything else out there is either chrome, low quality or too expensive.

I like my intake because it sounds cool, and looks good...i may of gained like 1 HP, but w/e. I'm sure it'll benefit the 75mm throttle body once i save up the money

If you do get one stick with the JLT, from what I have heard it's the only one worth a damn...

I used to have the demolet tunable induction one and take it from me it was a piece of ****

bakos24 · Apr 26, 2008

CAI are pretty much for looks. You will gain maybe 5hp, nothing noticeable.
The only reason I have one is
1. looks
2. the "swooosh" sound when you turn the car off

Mustangog2003 · Apr 26, 2008

JLT. Nothin else. It begins to be more worth it when you put more mods on the car.

Winters98GT · Apr 26, 2008

no it doesnt

Roos85 · Apr 26, 2008

Well its got to do something, I am tired of everyone saying they do nothing they do nothing. They obviously do something if they made a business out of it and there still selling them.

+1 to the air silencer removal and k&n drop in. If a CAI adds 5 hp, and this adds like 2 or 3 who is ever gonna notice the difference? save yourself the money.

great reasoning you have there.

Black_02_GT · Apr 27, 2008

or maybe they stay in business because ricers think they get 50 extra ponies so they all run out and buy one

darkside03gt · Apr 27, 2008

I think it really depends on what your plans are for the car. If you plan on staying N/A get one from jlt. If you plan on boosting in the near future just get a k&n drop in it will pay for itself quick depending on how much you change your filter. Before i bought my aem brute force I changed my air filter every other oil change because of the dusty enviroment i was driving in every day.

After doing some data logging today I wunder what the IAT is with the stock intake compaired to any of the aftermarket CAIs? My IAT was around 135 today and it was over 90 today. anyone know?

EPIK · Apr 27, 2008

JLT makes the best CAI on the market. So what if they only add 5hp. Its not like adding a catback adds anymore than 5 hp too. With that being said, I run a C&L kit because it looks nice under the hood & it gave me more power, but if I was to do it again I would go with the JLT because C&L's make the car run lean unless you get a dynotune & the JLT's make more power.

Jbauer · Apr 27, 2008

things add up..you make 5HP from the KN typhoon..you make 5 from the catback...youmake 6 and throttle response from the intake plenum and throttle body..
