Cold Air Kit

RottManK9 · October 24th, 2006, 12:30 AM

Looking to get a cold air kit. I wanna get it to help increase the gas mpg. What would you suggest keeping in mind that it's a daily driver and I'm on a family budget?
Thanks
Jon

all cai are gonna do about the same thing, about 1-3 hp and maybe 1 mpg better.but its a good first mod. i have a demolet tunable induction system, really easy install and looks and works great.

All the kits I've looked at say approx. 14 more hp. is that all BS? They seem to be all the same but the cost vary from kit to kit from $80-$300. What's the deal there?

im selling a k&n typhoon cai. its only been on the car a few thousand miles. wont work with my new set up.let me know if ur interested

JLT CAI FTW...

GO with a JLT...They are Dyno Proven to provide the most power...And they are pretty easy on the wallet...

I used to love Tunable Induction CAI...They are nice but dont leave them in the low position...THey will kill your motor...

2000stangGT · October 24th, 2006, 02:20 AM

i have the jlt and love it. felt like i gained a little. dyno tests have been done on it for about 10whp i hear

ChrisJ · October 24th, 2006, 02:21 AM

I dont know if it is that high but you can definately feel it...

RottManK9 · October 24th, 2006, 12:09 PM

Wife here.....trying to educate myself....

I've noticed no one really talks about BBK Performance Intakes? But I see them all over the place on online retail stores and ebay. Are these knock offs, cheap, or again......just the same?

Thanks for lending a hand to the newbies!

ChrisJ · October 24th, 2006, 12:32 PM

The BBK Cold Air Intakes?

They are pretty cheap IMHO...I have not really heard of many people who car for them...They look nice but from what I have seen they dont perform that well...

97Cobra · October 24th, 2006, 12:36 PM

yeah. they really dont do as well as others do but its the name ppl like.

ChrisJ · October 24th, 2006, 12:49 PM

Stay away from metal intakes...They look perdy but thats about it...

97Cobra · October 24th, 2006, 01:08 PM

yeah they soak the heat up

RottManK9 · October 24th, 2006, 03:31 PM

Well thank you for the tip about the "perdy" one because that's what I was looking at and why I was looking at it.
Note to self....no perdy stuff! LOL

RottManK9 · October 24th, 2006, 03:38 PM

Wife again.....and I'm freaking "perdy!"

That is good advise though about the intakes because I sometimes tend to buy on looks too.....but brain kicks in and goes for performance.....

2000stangGT · October 24th, 2006, 03:58 PM

id go with jlt. best performance ive seen and they can paint it to match you car so it looks "perdy" lol

gl with your choice

ChrisJ · October 25th, 2006, 03:15 AM

Yeah the JLT can be painted to pretty much any color that your heart desires...You can make it all kinds of perdy...

lemon · October 25th, 2006, 11:57 PM

yes, i bought a 85 dollar one from mustangtuning.com - before they became americanmuscle.com ... its metal, and like the others have said, it soaks up the heat... and doesnt let go.
