Intakes

[Cobra5337]

Yo Guys I just got a 02 gt and I am looking to give it some simple mods real quick like cold air and exhaust. I know what echaust I am buying but I cant decide what cold air to get. if anyone knows a good intake that will put out nice results for around 600 dollars I sure would liek to know. Also I am looking for some sites to make purchases off of at good prices so if you know about that let me know.

CNL/Dragon/Accufab plenum with matching 75 mm throttle body and maybe a K&N drop in filter for about 400 bucks total is a lot better then any CAI for the GT.

Well if you are going for a induction kit, the K&N FIPK kit is good. Do not get a BBK or a MAC. I made that mistake and wasted $200 on it. Stay away from anything that is metal. However, the C&L MAF kit with the inlet pipe is a good idea and it is my next mod. Someone on here posted that the gains on a dyno were 10.4 RWHP for the C&L kit. If you do decide on the C&L get the Intake Plenum too, it is a real nice piece! As far as the exhaust, which one did you go with?

I vote for gears. 4.10s

The best CAI you can buy is NO CAI! They are a waste of time and money. Right now I have the C&L MAF and coming soon the Plenum along with the Accufab 75mm T/B. I dont know what kind of exhaust you got, but I sure LOVE my packs and pro chamber. Good luck with the car.

hands down best cold air intake on the market for our mustangs would have to be Densecharger

I was looking into a flowmaster but I still dont know about all of what I am going to buy

From what I've been seeing, get one that does NOT have a 90 degree bend in front of the MAF. It is said to thow off the sensor and will lean out your A/F ratio. I bought mine as a kit (see sig) and have had no problems with it. Easily installed in 10 min.

If you want the strait line set up, but still want cold air from the wheel well,try leaving the factory rubberboot in its original location. Just make sure it's secure.

do you plan on a catback or just weld in mufflers??

Magnaflows or Borla catbacks.. best way to go..

 

[Redfire03GT]

Before you buy, research a lot and do a lot of asking. This is a good start, so from here, sit behind your comp for a few hours and start formulating a plan of attack.

But they're right, cold air set up's are generally a waste for their money. Not to say you won't gain anything at all but, it'll be wiser to spend your money on much more effective mods.

i love the way matt's long legs just give him that very lean muscular look..

 

[Cobra5337]

I think I am going to go catback exhaust, magnaflow or flowmaster anyone know which is better?

 

[GinoGT]

For the intake, just drop in a K&N and be done with it. Put the rest of the money towards 4.10's.

Oh yeah, Magnaflow exhaust = teh win. Regular if you want a quiet idle but for some screaming up top, or packs if you want to wake up the western hemisphere.

never flowmaster.

 

[Cobra5337]

Ight so Magnaflow it is im going to go get some prices on some stuff then I will let you guys know how it turns out thanks stangers

 

[Ben99GT]

I think Flows sound much better than Magnaflows. Get the Flowmasters...
