equal length headers are beneficial, because then there is a constant flow of exhaust through the collector, because of the firing sequence of the cylinders. On an untuned head, the pulses just get in eachothers way and slow down velocity.CrazyCobra said:In responce to...
I suppose you (L8 MUSL) don't believe in the purpose of tuned length headers either? The principal is the same. Car manufacturers spend millions in R&D doing just this very thing.

BlackBaer5.0 said:Ok guys, It called a Cold air intake, not a cooling air intake , or a inductive air intake, or air from my ass intake. .. the idea is to isolate the cooler ( note I said cooler not frozen or chilled) intake air from the high ambient temp under the hood right near the headers, of course its going to improve the performance. Now I know the stock config has a cold air intake, thats what the hole in your fender is for, why would ford do that , for looks, I dont think so , cuz that big filter box is not so pretty.. Now someone said that some CAI can affect the MAF reading, hemm , I calling BS on that one.you know how it works right, sampling air mass thru a tube and air temp across the wire.."turbulence" is not going to change the mass of the air in the sample tube, or how much voltage is required to maintain temp on the wire element.

Now, understandibly , some are upset at the outragous claims from OEm and aftermarket manufs. that you can gain 20 hp , well Ive seen that too, and yes its BS. But maybe some of those who are upset , are the same ones who bought the CAI witht he hopes of a 20hp upgrade and you are prolly feeling pretty raw b/c you only got 5-10hp. But dont go blaming all CAI's for either your gulliblity or the manufactures major over statements.
Now I will concede that not all CAIs designs are equal, Some dont even isolate the intake air , from the engine temp. some of them are made from all alluminium and act as a heatsink for the headers right below them,
Now Ive seen some made from fiberglass or some compsite that are great, they dont actually transfer heat. but they are like $500-1000. Again something Ive learned over and over, YOU get WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
Now back to the point, Yes they are a performance upgrade, granted the the stock design was a CAI too, it a had a bunch of crap in the way, besides the horribly retrictive elbow bends and the flat pannel filter. But with the proper CAI you can match it to the correct diameter of your MAF so you get even less turbulence,..lol,
just remember the pipes that dont go into the fender and stop in the engine bay with huge ass filter, are not cold air intakes..

You're going to get the variables speech...Steve-Os95GT said:I guess I can put my .02 in now since everybody else is. I put underdrive pullies and a CAI on my 95GT. Dyno before and after.
196rwhp (before) and 215rwhp (after)
Now I don't know where the 19hp came from but I am willing to bet that I didn't get 19 additional hp from JUST my pullies. But, like I said, just my .02
I just ment that his logic was sound...Car RamRod said:equal length headers are beneficial, because then there is a constant flow of exhaust through the collector, because of the firing sequence of the cylinders. On an untuned head, the pulses just get in eachothers way and slow down velocity.
