i did the tuner on it for the speedo, the cold air intake, will that take away my upgraded k&N airfilter. I also put on a flowmaster 40

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 11:25 PM

what will a K&N cold air intake do ? does it make the sound any better ?

sounds a little better, little more power, and when you pop the hood it dosn't look as gay

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 11:36 PM

does that take away the reg air filters ?? does the cold air intake require much maintence

00BlueMustang · November 7th, 2009, 11:44 PM

Sort of but no really. If you got a K&N air filter, or something like it, you would have to clean once a year or so.

Horseyxpowered · November 7th, 2009, 11:48 PM

so the cold air intake works next to the reg air filters

00BlueMustang · November 7th, 2009, 11:51 PM

No, the CAI will replace the stock one.

K&N FIPK Air Intake (Fuel Injection Performance Kit), Any reviews about this CAI !

00BlueMustang · November 8th, 2009, 12:20 AM

To be honest for us sixxers its not worth the price. Just go to American Muscle and buy their CAI. Or you could buy the eBay one. I think the American Muscle one is like $70 or something near that.

will it be better than my k&N air filter system ?

Our intakes are good enough for our cars. Buying an aftermarket cold air intake will only serve as eye candy. So if you are looking for go fast mods this is not it.
Exhaust is not going to give you hardly any gains either, all it's really going to change is sound. If any thing get a new cam, or do a windstar swap.

When I pop my hood I don't think it looks gay at all.

What do you think?
How about the sound? That's on stock exhaust FYI

He said the new CAI isnt as gay as the stock one. And you dont have a stock one.

Personal opinion, a new CAI is a cheap mod. It's also probably the most popular 1st mod. Goto Autozone. Purchase a Spectre adaptor 8145 for $22 and buy a 10.5'' cone filter for $40. You can attach it directly to the 4'' black intake tube coming off the engine and remove the stock airbox. I did, looks good.

Then save up for dual exhaust. You might not get a huge jump in power but youll unlock some of that wasted power with the restriction.

Then look into new pulleys. (this is if youre more into performance then looks).

stangcharger · November 8th, 2009, 11:51 AM

your next move should be either a

-25% UDP
-Roller rockers
-Windstar intake

exhaust is expensive and won't yield much gains until you flow more air it's way.
