cold air intakes

nor_calrenegade99 · May 26th, 2011, 07:06 AM

i have a k&n cold air intake on my sn95....is another brand better than another or are they all the same? just curious since im running bbk throughout my exhaust....

Bullitt95 · May 26th, 2011, 09:15 AM

No, not all "cold air intakes" are the same. Some are actually hot air intakes 'cause the filter draws hot air from the engine compartment, so they're the ones you want to avoid unless you can build an effective heatshield around them.

nor_calrenegade99 · May 26th, 2011, 09:47 AM

so would the bbk cold air intake be better than the k&n that was on the car when i bought it?

fogged306 · May 26th, 2011, 10:17 AM

Does the K&N draw it's air from the fender or from the engine bay?

nor_calrenegade99 · May 26th, 2011, 10:48 AM

uhhh i think from the bay....i was thinkin about just switchin to the bbk anyway since it doesnt reuse the stock hardware except the filter

i run a MAC fenderwell setup, i'd go with something like this if your not too worried about the $ too much. Also, someone once told me to use header wrap to the intake to keep heat out, dont know if anyone runs their setup like this, maybe when running at the track.

Don't waste money on that, if anything you should get an Anderson Power Pipe. Otherwise, all CAIs are all the same as the stock intake really.

fogged306 · May 26th, 2011, 05:08 PM

^ This. Power pipes are where it's at as far as intake piping goes. Either than or make your own. BBK and MAC and all that other stuff is garbage.

not even the JLT? damn I was savin up for one

JLT Performance Mustang Cold Air Intake (94-95 GT & Cobra) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Look at the JLT in your link compared to this one here. http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.co...emart&Itemid=1

The JLT has a pipe just before the TB that chokes it down. With a stock TB on there, you're fine, but if you ever upgrade the intake and TB size, then it becomes a restriction. The powerpipe is big enough to grow into. Plus the JLT is made out of PVC. The power pipe is TIG'd aluminum and the welds are ground off and the pipe polished so it looks like one big mandrel bent piece of pipe.

Home depot is where it is at 9 rwhp over the k&N I have the dyno sheets to prove it.

I need an opinion on this CAI from ebay
94-95 Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 Cold Air Intake Induction Kit | eBay

This CAI would cost me 130$ with taxes and shipping

Other CAI like BBK,JLT..... I can't get under 300-330$

steveofire · November 1st, 2011, 02:45 PM

I have had 2 of those ebay cai kits one I used to have on my 94 stang just like this one and one on my dodge ram they both worked great for me the biggest thing is to suck in air that isn't in the engine bay where it is hot air

mustangmaniac95 · November 1st, 2011, 02:59 PM

how would the anderson powerpipe work as a cold air intake? i mean where would you put it?

i think almost anything would be better than the stock induction...just wondering, how many miles are on your car?

Personally i think that a drop in K&N is just as good as a CAI. Unless you are getting a reallt nice one. Forget ebay, They are junk

mustangmaniac95 · November 1st, 2011, 03:21 PM

yeah i wouldnt waste my money on a knock off cold air intake..i saw buy the c&l one from american muscle that comes with the MAF as well
