This is a personal opinion question I suppose. Where to get a CAI for an 04' GT. I want something that will look good (shiny is good) and won't set of the engine check light. Anyone have ideas?

The BBK is shiny but I'd go with the Steeda like StangPro posted

Last year when I first started looking into CAI I was told to go with Steeda, but now I'm gonna get one soon, and I just wanted to make sure that that was still my best bet. It won't set off any engine lights though, right? thanks for your help.

I have a BBK on my 04, love it. Looks good and no engine check light. and it's
good for 50 extra hp.


o.k, o.k. no extra hp but it looks real perdy.
I forgot, it's a fender well mount and got it from California Mustang about 6 months ago.

i would just throw a K&N in your stock setup and pull the silencer spend the money elsewhere and get something that actuallly adds some power.

i would love to see the dyno sheet. i have yet to see one where you gain much power on a STOCK car which he has. but i could very well be wrong and would have no problem being proven wrong.

Another question your gonna think i'm dumb for, what is a fender mount CAI vs. a normal one. Like I've seen both types, but I don't know why you would go for one or the other.

those dyno numbers are with the dragon TB and plenium correct?
like i said in my prior post i have yet to see any major gains from a CAI on a STOCK car. which he has. i am just saying i would do other things first (TB and Plenium or an O/R X) before i stuck a CAI on there. just my non professional 2 cents.

I love Steeda, so that's what I went with. I'd only recommend it if you're ready to spend the extra money (it's expensive).

I've been told to be cautious with e-bay, it is true that you can find some great deals, but then again, anybody can post on e-bay and there are alot of frauds. back to my prvious question, can anyone explain why you would go with a fender mount CAI as opposed to just a normal one?

fender mount has the filter in the fender (can't see it from the engine bay) A standard CAI puts the filter in the stock location, sometimes an open filter sometimes in it's own box.
