which CAI to get?

[silver04GTstang]

hey i found a k+n intake for 30 dollars from a local guy. i wanted one mounted in the fenderwell, i think the kn only has a little box that goes around it. your opinions and suggestions would be helpful on what gives more power, better sound or which one i should get in general. oh yeah the one that goes in the fenderwell is like 60 dollars.

Look into JLT they have some great stuff. They make good power and look great too. They are more expensive but well worth the money IMO.

and IMHO its not worth it to get anything over a K&N drop in filter

you are wasting your money if you are N/A on a CAI its the worst product you could buy for a power mod.

put that money towards something else

all make around the same amout of power(which isn't alot). A K&N filter will do the same as in getting a whole kit.

cai is a waste of money i wish i would have never wasted money on one

 

[whyask]

I agree K&N drop in will produce the same as a JLT without a tune and throttle bodie upgrade.....

If its a plastic K&N FIPK CAI for $30 then buy it, thats cheaper then just a K&N filter. If its the K&N Typhoon metal import intake don't waste your money.

Yea really if you're just wanting to buy a CAI for performance, don't and just change the filter with a K&N one like above have said.

If you do want something for looks though, yea get the JLT...look great. only reason why I bought one

I'm happy with my K&N FIPK2. Powerwise didn't really notice anything but I like the looks of it under the hood vs. the stock one. Plus the silicon hose connector of the K&N kit fit over my 75mm TB a lot easier than the stock tube did.

+1

Wish I had asked here before I blew the money on one.

Try removing the screen by the mass air meter. This improves flow, costs nothing

I got the JLT RAI just to go with my 75mm TB and CL Plenum. It sounds pretty cool and looks very good under the hood. GOt it on sale from americanmuscle for about 150, so it wasn't too bad.
