Cold Air Intake

[1999mustangGT04]

I have a 99 Mustang GT. I am looking at doing a Hitech cam currently and wondering what is one of the better cold air intakes to go with. Do you want to stick to a plastic type intake so that it doesn't absorb hot air? I am sure this question has been asked several times so any helpful like would be great. Thanks

Personal preference...they will all do the same thing.

If your trying to dress up your engine bay you could probably do some cooler stuff than what a JLT or whatever intake your looking at costs. If your doing this for "performance", don't waste your money...don't know your mods but your money is surely better spent elsewhere

The factory intake does a decent job of pulling cooler air from the fenderwell.

Just get a K&N element in the stock housing. If you want more intake noise, remove the silencer. but be prepared to pull in somewhat more hot underhood air.

American Muscles kit is 80 bucks. I have it installed on my 98 and it was good quality and it looks good. (Chrome)

I prefer the K&N, when I had it on my other Mustang I felt that the throttle was more crisp and helped with mileage. Plus it looks the best out of all of the cheaper ones imo.

I ran K&N's for almost 100,000 miles, and both of them had the foam fall off at the clamping side which turned into a gluey mess. That on top of the the recharge oil messiness, I decided to go back to the Motorcraft filter for $16 shipped from summitracing.com and plan to every 10-12k miles.

Here's an option you could go with:

• Plastic throttle body pipe to reduce turbulence and allow more flow (mine was from http://tunableinduction.com/ for $65 shipped)
• Throttle body and Plenum combo to allow more flow and improve throttle response (~$200)
• Rip off the snorkel from the airbox
• New filter if yours is due for it ($16 Motorcraft or $50 for K&N drop-in)
