intake dilemma
my car: '96 Mustang GT
i was looking around on americanmuslce.com (http://www.americanmuscle.com/94-98-...r-intakes.html) for an intake for my car but im not sure which one though.... any opinions? the steeda's pipe looks tiny but im not sure if thats just the way they took the picture and is the only brand that i have heard of http://www.americanmuscle.com/stgthiairkit.html and im new to mustangs so i havent heard of the other brand names like MAC, BBK, and JLT. so yeah your opinions would be greatly appreciated

THE JLT Ram Air Intake will work with a STB...The true cold air wont...
Look around JLT is one of the top CAI makers for mustangs... |

okay so i ready to order the JLT intake then i was browsing around and actually looked up K&N intakes, they're both relatively the same price but what are you thoughts? which should i get?
K&N FIPK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM 96-04 FORD MUSTANG GT 4.6L ![]() or JLT Performance Ram Air Intake (96-04 Mustang GT) ![]() should i stick with the JLT one? if so im going to order it tonight

thhe bbk is a metal intake which absorbs and hold heat which defeats the purpose of cold air induction. you might get about as much of a gain as the 20$ pos advertised on ebay. imo

i pulled my cheap CAI and went with a C&L MAF and CAI set and love mine. now the car pulls hard all the way through with no power drop off what so ever, and doesnt seem to heat soak. i know a guy that runs a JLT and swears by it also. really up to you.
