intake dilemma

jEEd · December 26th, 2006, 01:57 AM

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

JLT FTW...

K&N is also good but JLT is my favorite...

jEEd · December 26th, 2006, 02:25 AM

yeah JLT looks good but i wasn't sure since i've never heard of it, but alrite thanks

and how come there wasn't any K&N's on americanmuscle.com ?? but JLT > K&N ??

k&n < JLT ftw but if you had plans of a strut brace/bar for added chassis support it wont be compatible iwth the jlt just FYI

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...

sonicblue · December 26th, 2006, 10:27 AM

i wouldnt recomend one with a metal pipe. but the ones they suggested sound good

yeah i think im going to get the JLT Ram Air Intake one

thanks ChrisJ

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

i went with bbk it looks hot

jEEd · December 27th, 2006, 07:51 PM

well from what ppl say on here JLT > K&N , but yeah bbk looks cool with the chrome

Invictus · December 27th, 2006, 07:54 PM

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

jEEd · December 27th, 2006, 07:56 PM

okay but which one should i get from the pictures above? i wasnt thinking of getting bbk anyways

ChrisJ · December 28th, 2006, 06:04 AM

I prefer the JLT Ram Air Intake like what you have pictured there...Go with the JLT...

SWEET2KSTANG · December 28th, 2006, 08:25 AM

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.

jEEd · December 28th, 2006, 06:37 PM

thanks guys for your inputs
