CAI


So awhile back I was looking at CAI's on ebay, and I found a bunch that were only 20 or 30 bucks on there. Now when I look for a 2000 V6 CAI off ebay, they're anywhere from 70 and upwards? What happened to all the cheap ones? >.<

We get a discount?! I buy stuff from them all the time. How do we get a discount? Is there some sort of code or something?

Yeah man I'm glad I got my CAI when I did. Either go with Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle or you can keep looking and maybe you'll get lucky.

that metal thing is pointless I didnt have it on mine, just take that bolt and use it where the other one is missing, that one is kinda important to seal the gasket

also that gasket isnt right I had the same problem with mine throw away that gasket and seal it with silicone glue 10 bucks says you have a nasty vacuum leak right there.
