BEST BRAND COLD AIR INTAKE

[jbird2792]

I am going to get a cold air intake could someone tell me what brand to buy.I seen some on ebay but not sure if some are any different than others

stock airbox!

Stock with a K&N Filter.

cai are pretty much just for dress up so any one that pleases your eye should do it

Does anyone make a pipe that goes to the airbox? The factory tubing seems like it would create turbulance to me.

C&L pipe. look at bloopbloop's sig.

Yep, the stock airbox works great. Most "Cold air intakes" place the air filter in the engine compartment, making it a hot air intake, and costing you power. The stock airbox is sealed from the engine compartment, and takes cool air from the fenderwell, which is what you want. Just pull the factory air silencer out of the airbox and run a drop in k&n.

AFM makes a great CAI system

I switched from my CAI back to stock airbox with the CAI piping that I modified and noticed my mass airflow sensor seemed to be LOTS happier not having to take air right off the curve of that pipe heading into the fender well, anyone else notice anything similar?

i bought a cai off ebay, i think it was $30-40 shipped

here is a pic..

the air filter is mounted in the fender, not in the engine compartment

I have had two BBK CAI's on my 5.0L cars. I like the fit, and the quality. They make the "whoosh noise" and some people ask me if I have a supercharger...it is really funny!

I also think the stock air box with K&N and removed silencer is the way to go. Adding the C&L powertube thing is ideal...but probably not worth the money.

Mass air meters don't like curvy tubing. The longer the straight section before the MAF the better.

i have a speed density 5.0 would it make a difference to put a cold air intake on that even though it doesent have a mass air meter?

Yeah the stocker with no silencer and a K&N is a great option if you are just running bolt-ons etc. Power diff between a stocker and a CAI is very minimal, but if you really do want a nice CAI that will work well and look good go for a MAC or BBK or any other brand that mounts your filter in the fenderwell instead of the engine bay. Good Luck

I have a MAC CAI on my car.I was happy with the factory airbox,but I got this uber cheap,so,I figured it would look good with the polished parts on the engine.I did the Mass Air conversion and it seems pretty happy.
