Yes with the Hc trap out,and the snout thing pulled off the airbox. I may be buying a CAI though,so i have somthing better to tap the n20 nozzle into. I'm sure some intakes are good for a couple ponys but not like the claims have been.JonW said:Motorhead, you've spent some money on your car, and no doubt a lot of time researching what mods you wanted. Are you running the stock air intake with a K&N filter?
The Solski said:So what about all the dyno charts that are posted all over almost every mustang site that prove the CAI makes more power than the stock airbox?
Heck, the article mentioned post #2 shows gains of around 20hp on average for after market CAI's compared to a stock airbox with a 91 octane tune. And these were all dyno proven as well.
If you mean those products that came out during the initial model-year, I'm with you. They are nothing more than improved intakes, there's nothing cold-air about them.Motorhead6T5 said:I'm still not a believer in the CAI scene.
Yeah this is where it gets interesting. All these intakes(tube type) are actually Warm air intakes. A true cold air intake places the filter in the fender or down at the bottom of the engine compartment to pick up fresh air and not engine compartment air. Even in the write up on the test they said they need to be shielded for best results,and thats with the hood up and a huge fan blowing right towards the engine compartment. In the real world with the hood down and a warm engine compartment,that 5-10hp gain I might see on the dyno,might be reduced to a couple hp.Edbert said:If you mean those products that came out during the initial model-year, I'm with you.

But this one from Western looks like it might fit the term CAI, of course you may need a new hood to see the true potential. At least this one is not pulling heated air from the headers.
there are threads on other boards from people that have come up with a solution for the wiring. i dont remember exactly what they did, so you would have to look on the other boards to find out for sure. as far as the water issue, you can make a drain for the tray and you wouldnt have a problem. the stock airbox should have a drain as well. the drain would be super easy to make, you just need to drill a hole or two depending on how worried about it you are, and connect a drain hose to drop the water where you want it, instead of right in front of the motor.martimus said:There are two things about the WMS intake that bugged me... First that their product did not include an extended wiring harness for the MAF sensor, instead requiring wires to be cut and spliced. Second is the fear that with the loosely fitting hoods on some 05's that a good driving rain storm would fill up that Ram air box with water and provide a path for water to get into the engine.
The WMS very well may be a better design but I think I'm gonna stick with my hella cool looking MRT intake!
