Moroso cold air intake vs. stock air box w/K&N

[1990LXDropTop]

I'm thinking about buying a Moroso cold air intake kit from Summit for $91.88. Will I notice an increase in power over the stock air box with a K&N? Is the moroso worth the $$?

If you mean SOTP, you probably won't notice an increase in power regardless of which one you do.

if you already have a k&n just stick with that the cai is really more of a looks thing, but it does make it easier to install a larger maf meter, but the power difference is little to none, but then again a little chrome under the hood never hurt anyone

The Moroso cai is just the plastic bend and it connects to the factory streatchy hose (forget what they call it) after the maf.

www.fordmuscle.com tested that Moroso cai kit and noted zero gains compared to the stock air box.

Save your money,it`s not worth it.

"ram air" is only effective when (and if) your travelling at a speed fast enough for there to be a "ram" effect...well past inner city speeds.

I`ve heard that the March ram air kit is like a vacuum cleaner.It picks up all kinds of crap from the road.

It's ram air effect is only a benefit over other cai systems. It's still a high-flowing filter system. Another thing, if that ram-air kit sucks **** up, isn't that what the filter's for?

I got a moroso cai dirt cheap so I put it on. No gains. The only reason I done it is for the K&N filter and to get my airbox out of the way. Made that section under the hood cleaner. Don't worry about having to cracking the lid anymore now that that pos is out of the way too.

I've used the ram air kit before and I could have made much better use of that $125. Any advantage from the ram air affect was totally negated by the fact that the filter plugged up with leaves and anything else it wanted to suck up damn near daily. Save your money!

Heres what i did, i went to home depot, went to the plumbing section and bought a 3" rubber 90* bend tube. $10, and instant cai.

 

[iwashmycar]

it just looks nice IMO...but if it wasnt there when i bought the car i wouldve K&N'd the stocker..

you can sort of see it..

 

[8950HO]

Don`t forget that the stock air box is a cold air setup from the factory,just remove the pos silencer.

Bend before the maf = not good

I heard the CAI kits with the steel tubing kill performance due to the steel tubing sucking up all the heat from the engine bay and in turn sucking in warmed air. I heard to stick with the stock plastic ducting.
