cold air intake?

97mustanggt · November 19th, 2009, 03:29 PM

i used to have stock pipe up to tha maf then the chrome pipe after the maf goin in feder wall it was MAC...worked good, but i got rid of tha stock pipe and Put a C&L pipe and then the maf then cut tha chrome pipe to turn it into ram air with tha Mac airfilter...like tha sound it makes while driving haha

The JLT intake tube is too big for the strut tower brace to go back on though...

leverfever · November 26th, 2009, 11:03 PM

Hmm my k&n works fine and theres not too many bends in the piping as some people are saying, i still gained almost 5hp in 5 minutes.

sharkbait · November 27th, 2009, 12:53 AM

Theres so many on the market today. Just pick the one you like. Theres alot of things out there... yes some may give you 1 more hp. But woo. Just pick the one you like.

NASTY03GT · November 27th, 2009, 03:48 PM

JLT is really good, especially the fenderwell.

hahah yeah i might swap to bbk cuz there quality is so much better IMO but its the same size and should fit, the blue wraps on this mac one barely, i mean barely fit over my bbk 75mm tb..but yeah i dont wanna sacrifise handling deffinately not dumping the strut tower brace

97mustanggt · November 30th, 2009, 02:24 PM

jlt sux because you cant keep your tower brace....c&l ftw

Thumbie · November 30th, 2009, 02:31 PM

isn't c&l the cheap one? but the actual filter it comes with is k&n right?

97mustanggt · November 30th, 2009, 02:44 PM

C&L aint cheap at all, the thing i like about it is that i can keep my strut tower brace on my cobra...intake tube is built perfect and it never feels hot

Speedstang302 · November 30th, 2009, 03:56 PM

So am I going to have an issue if I put a centrifugal style s/c on this with my strut tower brace? Like the Anderson powerpipe probably won't fit? Lol this sucks and there's no way a roots blower will fit under it or haha even under my
stock hood!

97S281 · November 30th, 2009, 04:08 PM

a roots style blower should fit under a stock brace. I don't know the dimensions of the steeda brace to tell you if it would fit or not.

The roots style supercharger DOES fit under your stock hood with no problems at all. If your going to swap to p.i. heads then you should be able to put an eaton style supercharger on it with no hood/brace clearance issues.

PurpleStang96 · December 8th, 2009, 09:22 AM

I cut my stock one almost near the bracket that hooks up near the sidewall...looks badass an was free...

whiteboy05 · December 8th, 2009, 01:35 PM

bbk

97blkgt · December 21st, 2009, 09:20 PM

Can't you just get the cheap MAC and put heat wrap on it to keep it cool? Not that pleasing to the eye... but then again you don't drive around with your hood up either.

97_Sleeper_Gt · July 18th, 2010, 04:34 AM

I got the BBK CAI 70 mm tb......i used to have the stock pipe with k&n filter at the end. and i was running 9.6 1/8th....after bbk install i was running 10.4 ....i regret buying The fender wall CAI ..i lost power and gas milage with mine.. i got better gas milage and power with short ram.

KV007 · July 18th, 2010, 11:15 AM

shit my bbk cai barely fits on my 78mm throttle body

93HatchsBFF · July 19th, 2010, 12:07 PM

JLT is okay but not for hot states. i had a JLT and i live in arizona and the heat warped my tube to like an oval and cracked it in half. i did the jlt short ram with trickflow combo and a spacer and i felt the difference but i did it all at once.

sharkbait · July 19th, 2010, 12:28 PM

Idk if any of you looked over at the other thread about RAI's and metal vs plastic but there really is no differance people...
