Your going to get a ton of reply's saying either make your own or buy the cheap ebay one for $50. I went and spent a bunch of money on a BBK one just to find out its no better than the ebay ones with a little BBk badge on it. Look into those ones and save yourself some money.

Ok, lets just say money isn't an issue, which intake is better.

I've never had the k&n fipk, but i've had the mac, it was alright, right now I have the c&l kit, I think the k&n looks pretty good though.

If you must have one of those do the Mac. When I was new to the mustang community and didn't know better I put a mac one on my 92. Looked a lot better though. Of those types...the carbon fiber densecharger kit looks the best imo.

Well all of the CAI's do the same thing. If money isnt an issue I like the c & l 76 mm kit cause a bigger MAF is going to be worth more HP than a CAI.

I would do the k&n it's the cheaper of the two. By the way that k&n kit looks just like the cheap ebay one's.

Click to expand...
Only if you lucky you would probably bet more hp from advancing you timing than the cai kit.
