Who makes a decent intake for a 02 stang?

[d_stang_j]

I'm kind of new to the stang world, I just got started with my 02 GT and would like to know what you guys think is a decent cold air intake for the money and where the cheapest place to purchase, any info would greatly be appreciated.

Ford. Seriously, the stock intake is fine. Or so they say. Im running a K&N filter with my stock one right now.

There is none. I mean there is few, but nothing less then $1000 at the least that might give you few HP at near stock level.
All of the intake on the market now is like designed for somewhat highly modefied engine. I think. There is no intake designed for near stocker to squeeze more out of stock or near stock engine like there is for 5.0.

I could be wrong on my understanding

I think he meant cold air intake... in which case the only one people say might actually get gains is the K&N FIPK

i have the fipk. spend the money on something else like a new shifter, gears, or a quality exhaust (NOT weld-in flowmasters)


but if you really want to drop $200 on an air intake, the fipk is the best on the market. stay away from the chrome pipes.

I have the FIPK as well. Definitely do a shifter first if you are manual, that is a good first mod. If you really want a intake keep checking ebay. I got my FIPK for $128 shipped a long time ago.

vortech, procharger, novi, kenny belle, you get the gist

Cold Air Intake is worth it if you got full exhaust. dont believe me ? listen to your exhaust with it on then take it off

get a C&L upgraded MAF (85mm) with tru-fit inlet pipe. the K&N it comes with is a monster. Comes with everything up to the throttle body. dyno gains of 6 horsepower at the rear wheel.

I agree. I got the FIPK when I already had my mufflers and it made it sound even more evil.

I feel the FIPK was worth it ... a few hp, looks good, easy to install, better sound (from intake and exhaust)

 

[pony_vert02]

I would agree with Dirk.. the stocker is just fine with a drop in K&N filter.. Use the money on something else..Either way, you really can't go wrong.

Short Shifter (Steeda or Pro 5.0)
Springs
Gears

What's wrong with weld in flowmasters?

What is wrong with them?

Catback systems might look cool or something, but they dont offer any HP.

Sound.

 

[03poontanggt]

um ok. I'd say dump the stock pipes and get sound X2 and save a couple hundred bucks. just my .02

 

[03poontanggt]

Anyways. I would suggest insted of getting CAI, perhaps getting the throttle body plenum combo if you are interested in working on the intake side of things. I only have mine p&P but I still noticed a good difference

 

[VPStang]

i would reccommend putting that money towards a k&n drop-in and a new Tb and plenum

--but thats just me...
and if i could get the labor done for really cheap i would just get welded Magna's.....put the rest toward the x-pipe
