Cold Air Intake quick ?

00SoSlow · March 7th, 2006, 11:44 PM

Is there a big difference between a cold air intake that sits in the fenderwall or in the engine bay?

99mustang232 · March 8th, 2006, 12:19 AM

one locates the filter to the fender and gets fresh air, the other pulls it from the engine bay, but less piping.

Hmmm. Kind of a generic answer. Of course any filter that pulls air from an (already hot) engine bay is gonna be less efficient than an induction system that takes (non-engine heated) cold air from the fender. Fender CAI's are fairly cheap and I recommend them as oppose to a short ram air filter.

where can i find the best fender CAI? any suggestions?

AtlanticBlue99 · March 8th, 2006, 03:58 PM

ebay

turp · March 8th, 2006, 03:59 PM

Pretty much any parts outlet(Jegs,Summit and so on) should have them. V6mustangstuff.com also sells them I know

99mustang232 · March 8th, 2006, 04:12 PM

also keep in mind that some are made of differant materials, for instance mine is from MAC and is aluminum, which is more prone to heat soak than a composite tube.

turp · March 8th, 2006, 04:25 PM

Dude! Do you know of somebody that makes a composite CAI? If so let me know. I didn't think anybody made one for the v6 yet.

99mustang232 · March 8th, 2006, 04:45 PM

ebay, i also think k&n has a gen2 fipk that is?, but once you swap your top end with that supercoupe call jay tucker (JLT)

artisan00 · March 8th, 2006, 10:03 PM

tunable induction's cai is also not made of metal

chrish91286 · October 4th, 2006, 12:28 PM

demolet is a good choice if you are looking for a cai that doesnt soak up heat. mustangtuning.com has some good cai cause personally i dont trust ebay for something like that.

00SoSlow: if ur the type who wants to just sit back and enjoy driving in silence (like me) then consider that the roar coming from the CAI can be a bit distracting at times. if u don't mind that then go ahead and get a CAI

232stang · February 23rd, 2007, 01:15 AM

My car came with a fender cai built into it. I changed it out for a K&N Gen 2 CAI. I've noticed that the K&N gave me more power, not much, but noticable over the other. I also noticed just a hair more acceleration difference. I don't know if this will help or not...

GreenFaleen · February 23rd, 2007, 02:33 PM

All CAI really does is gives better throttle response and lets the car breath a little better. Get a 40 dollar one and be done put a k&N filter on it it is a k&N CAI pretty much.
