Densecharger, K&N Fipk, steeda

Its best to get the triple tune(filter in bay) so I guess the air/fuel doesnt get f'd up.

I would have to say with K&N FIPK or the Descecharger are by the numbers. 5.0 Mustang Magazine did a test of a few Cold air kits a little while back and the K&N did get a couple of more horses out.

The WMS High Velocity Intake kit Gave me the most horsepower and I've tried a lot of other CAI's. Plus the pipe comes in a optional ceramic coating.
www.wmsracing.com Keep in mind that the prices are in Canadian currentcy so the actual U.S. price is much cheaper.The kit also comes with a 95mm MAF that is great.

Is the K&N plastic? Or what?
Also How much HP can I expect out of each one?
Thanks
Andy

Had Mac on my 2001. Just have a K&N drop in now. The MAC was awesome when it was cold, but when it got hot I would get like a chugging when cruising. If I were to buy one I would get a Densecharger or K&N fipk.

What kind of numbers are you putting down with your setup? Sheesh, you've got to be around the 450-460rwhp mark.

I had the WMS racing ceramic coated CAI on my 2002 GT. Went with the K&N FIPK because of the non-curved design. Not sure im allowed to say this but the WMS is for sale if anyone is interested.

I know plastic cold air intakes are suppose to be better but just a word of warning my friend had an fipk and somehow a hole was burnt through it and caused god knows what to get into his engine needless to say it's not running too well anymore

KB is great with hudge 12" K&N air filter! It's dyno proven to have no restriction, the whole intake package adds over 30rwhp on s/c engine compared with stock intake!
The densecharger apparently looks good under the hood (better than KB) and seems to show very good results on 03 cobras and other s/c engines.

R3VO3VOM, I don't see how a hole can be burned on intake, unless the whole car is on fire
