Cold Air Intake?

[claytucc3]

I have an open element cone K&N and all it does is suck up the hot air from the motor. I love the look and quality of C&L but they don't make a cold air kit. I am not into the polished look of BBK. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I am also cool with an air box instead of an actual cold air kit. Thanks guys.

have u seen the fabricated looking ones, i forgot who makes em, they go in the fender and its like a3.5 fab tubing that goes in the fender and looks KILLER, ill do some thinkin and try to remember who makes em

 

[claytucc3]

That would be awesome. I am looking for a more stock look. Black tubing and rough finished metal just like the C&L. The chrome look is too much for me....thx for the help

c&l tube with the stock box and a k&n filter.

The stock air box is a cold air induction.You could have a chrome kit powder coated black.

I would love to use the stock air box, however mine is missing. Does anyone know where I can purchase either a used one or a repo piece? I wanted to go that route but was unable to locate the stock parts. I would modify the box a bit but it is the best look and performance....IMO

89-93 COLD AIR KIT, ECONOMY, 5.0L, BLACK WITH FILTER MUSTANG

How about this?

I bought one several years ago and put it back in my car the other day. It is made by Densecharger. It's very "plain Jane" black pvc and black rubber connectors with a conical K and N filter in the fenderwell.

They have been making them for a long time now.

I have the factory air box with K&N panel filter and air silencer delete. Works great!

 

[claytucc3]

Yeah that is the route that I was planning on going....

This is pretty plain looking.

 

[claytucc3]

What air box is that? I see the C&L inlet tube but I am not sure what that air box is.

March 5.0 Ram Air box. Just like it says on it.

 

[claytucc3]

Haha, I looked at that on my cell phone. It was a small picture and I figured you just put a march sticker on it...thx

OK, so i know this is an old thread but i wanted to share my experience with cold air kits.
I've gone through TWO of them and returned BOTH in the last two weeks. The first one was the BBK with the in-fender filter. I live in a fairly dusty climate and that requires freqfilter changes/cleaning

 

[tx65stanger]

Oops, i hit the wrong key and this got posted before i was finished. As i was writing, my climate requires frequent filter changes and cleaning of the filter. So when i saw how ridiculously DIFFICULT it is to service the BBK kit in-fender kit i bought i decided to try the engine-bay kit, evne though it is sucking the hot engine air. Well that was another problem. The bracket BBK supplies that is supposed to attach the filter setup to the frame "rail" with sheet metal screws is too SHORT by about an inch and a half, rendering it useless because the inlet pipe is, of course, metal and won't bend. So i sent that one back too. I've now removed and replaced the stock unit TWICE and had to pay UPS to ship back two BBK units. It looks like the March 5.0 unit (if that is still available) illustrated in this thread is similar to the stock one and the filter is easily serviced. the question, though , is does it actually add any POWER? If not, I'll just stick with the stock box. (Oh, i have a '92 LX 5.0)
