CAI intake tube

ylw04girl · July 18th, 2007, 10:03 AM

Will the CAI intake tube from a GT fit on a V6? Thanks for the help!

No, the GT has a V-8, and they route the Air Intake in a different form. I'm sure something could be done to 'adapt' it to fit, but then you also need to remember that the V-8's will have a larger diameter throttle body than the V-6, so that will have to be adjusted as well..

It would be easiest to just get a CAI for a V-6

Thanks. I planned on buying the V6 CAI, but a friend had a V8 Steeda intake tube for sale and I was just curious if it would work. Like you said, it would be easier to just buy the whole kit for the V6. I want to go with the FIPK.

The routeing is similiar, but one has longer tubes I'm sure, tb is different sizes like mentioned, one has a higher intake manifold I'm pretty sure, the GT tube is almost directly over the intake manifold. There are quite a few differences. If you want a steel one...just get a cheap ebay one.

is that you in your avatar... ? just... well just wonderin

uhh ebay ones are a good start... but the stock ones are great too... if you just remove the air silencer... thats probably the cheapest best route

El_Cangri · July 18th, 2007, 11:19 PM

lol omz u like it?

the silencer doesnt do anything... it just makes the engine louder...

Onemanzu · July 19th, 2007, 12:09 AM

ha ha you know

the silencer makes the air... well quiter... and if you take it off.. you can here the air entering the engine...

ylw04girl · July 19th, 2007, 08:58 AM

Thanks guys. Now lets see, if I want a steel one just 'buy a cheap one off ebay". It's not so much I want a steel one, I want a good one. I refuse to buy anything cheap for my Stang. Next was "don't get a FIPK". Why? Is it just because they are a pain to install? I've heard they work better. "Is that me in my avatar?" It ain't my brother!
So, how about removing the silencer and replacing the filter with a K&N? Yes? Thanks everyone!

Nothing wrong with buying a cheap cold air intake from eBay, they all work the same. except for the filter itself, so get a K&N filter, but the tubing itself isn't gonna matter.
unless it's a show car and you want something that says "K&N" on it...but otherwise, it's really not worth it.

as for just replacing your stock filter with a K&N filter, that could help but a CAI would be better since the filter would in the fenderwell and you'd be drawing in colder air.

You can come work on my car.... anytime

Onemanzu · July 19th, 2007, 06:06 PM

its not ?? T_T sad

ebay ones are the same as the expensive ones they just have a different sticker on the side... here is what you can do... buy an ebay one... get a new filter from K&N that is the same size... and see if you can get a sticker with it... put that sticker on the CAI and say you paid $200 for it...

yea

xonemanzux -- aim
drifterboyrx07 -- aim

FIPK's are inside the engine bay and not the fender well and tend to let in some more heat... which defeats the purpose of a cold air intake

the only reason i say get a k&n and take off the silencer is it will do about the exact same as a metal one... so.. why not and that way when you get a super charger or turbo... you wont have to worry about the $50 intake you bought a short year ago
