The primary performance gain from a CAI is the weight that is saved from your wallet weight reduction mod
CobraRed, every time a CAI thread pops up, you're like Johnny-on-the-spot with that comment. I think it's hilarious!
k&n drop in and pull the air silencer. that's what? 40 or 45 bucks? but hey if you're wanting the looks go for it
I am? I don't remember saying it before. But i do bang on CAI's a good amount - they should call them hot air intake, feel a peice of plastic under ur hood - then feel a piece of aluminum.
BTW, just noticed - we have almost identical mods.
Maybe it wasn't you, but someone has made a comment about the performance gains from the wallet-lightening mod every time a CAI thread comes up.
P.S. We both have Hammer shifters and Magnapacks because I bought them after seeing / hearing them on your car

Um, I had better experience with a CAI.
Sometime back in 2002 I ran at NE Dragway 2 consecutive weeks. One week with stock garbage, 2nd week with ebay cheapo CAI. I went there again so my friend could run his motorcycle. Regardless, i was running 99.xx MPH all night long, maybe 6 runs total. The following week i had my ebay/$40 cai on, and was running high 101 trap speeds.This was in the middle of the summer, temp was probably the same.
From my experience, I recommend the CAI. However, there are a lot of companies selling $200 intakes that are the exact same as a generic CAI on ebay. Buy a cheapo, toss the filter and buy a K&N/S&B, etc. I dont get these turkeys that say "you can fry eggs on it, its so hot!" Ive ran one in my 02, and my other fox body Mustangs... never experienced this so called "heat". The whole engine throws heat, everything will be warm.
They do make a difference in sound when WOT.
LMFAO....spending $200 for a whoosing sound is a great idea!
No really, save that money for gears or something. You MIGHT gain 1-3whp with a CAI....
