Ok, quick question. What is the best cold air intake on the market right now that is reasonably priced? and would anyone recommend the k&n (which model)? thanks.

There is a thread on CAI every other day, why not read one of them?

As for which model of K&N AutoZone has a "what fits my car" feature on their website that will tell you the part numbers for lots of things including K&N.

JLT CAI. For the price, it's the best.

If it wasnt for threads like this, what else would we do...

CIA is pretty much for "show", so just get what ever floats your boat.

Save your money for better mods. Make a thread about what gear you need next....

:Word:

He is right, tho...on our cars a CAI is more for the bling effect than anything. The JLT might give you marginal gains at best, but you'd be better off saving that money for, say, gears...

i know it was meant as an insult but this comment made me laugh for some reason


i have the k&n fipk and it's probably the best quality kit on the market, but if i had to do it over again i would've spent my money elsewhere. not worth it

had you searched you would've seen that in pretty much every thread

if you've been here since june of 2003, then you should know that there are at least 5 CAI threads per week. and you're certainly not going to make any friends here by being a jerk to people who are just stating the facts to you.

That being said, your money will be better spent elsewhere.

...then, how bout another oil thread please?

Seriously, these threads are silly. It's one thing to ask a specific question about an aspect or detail about something like, say, cold air intakes. But to just blurt out "what's the best cai" is dumb, when you consider that exact question has been asked about a million times. No stangGT97, I'm not addressing this to you, but rather to the newbs who REALLY need to use the search button.

Best CAI by majority of stangneters post's
would be the OEM set up, remove rubber silencer, add K&N filter
I had a MAC chrome CAI, it gets very hot and stays hot. (HAI)

well, i havent been on this website for a few years now, and i havent been buying parts whatsoever (still college kid without moneys), and my k&n filter is getting old. now i know i could just clean it, but i thought since its not that expensive, id just spend a couple hundred and get a cai just for the heck of it, even though it wont give me much gains......this was my thought process behind my original thread

well in all honesty, if the K&N is still in good shape, just clean it and pop it back in. you could put that couple hundred towards something more useful, like gears or exhaust
