2004 Mustang CAI

N29468 · April 11th, 2008, 05:46 PM

Ok i was going to start modding my stang a while ago but something came up. Anyway i have some cash now and plan to start. I was looking for a CAI for a 2004 but most all i seen all go up to 2003. If someone can help me find one or post a link that would be awesome. I was planing on getting a true dual exhaust, CAI, Gears and Tlok, Underdrive pulley, and tuner. Hows my list looking. I have enough money to buy all of it now and more and was wondering what you guy thought. Plzz help me with the CAI. Thanks!

truthfully if i could do it all over i would have gotten my tlok and gears first along with exhaust, then CAI later on

that link i gave you has drop in filters for v6s

you can just go to auto zone or something and ask for a performance filter thier and im sure they can get you one for like 50 bucks...and take out the air silencer

wouldnt waste time with that if ur gonna put in a cai

N29468 · April 11th, 2008, 05:55 PM

Is there any other sites because the only one that works with 04 v6's is the steeda and thats 200.

thas why i say get the CAI later. tied together with other mods it helps the car breathe better. but there is no use in buying one of those expensive ass ones, wouldnt spend much more than around 60 if not less on one.

can i just say something and this get stickied?!

CAI'S ARE USLESS!!

think about it you have a metal tube in a hot engine bay... what the metal going to do heat up! and what does this do? defeats the fucking purpose of drawing in colder air... besides, its no colder then the air being sucked in by the stock set up minus the air silencer

Well, if you don't want any of these CAI's, you could get this...

N29468 · April 11th, 2008, 06:04 PM

Then whats a good mod to get oneman thats not off the wall expensive.

well ur list as u had it is

true dual exhaust, CAI, Gears and Tlok, Underdrive pulley, and tuner.

i would get exhaust, gears & tlok, then work from there if i was doing it all over again. i dont believe in the underdrive pulleys but that is strictly my opinion. a tuner is somethin good to have bc that will help ur mods all work together and get more hp out of em. what are ur future plans for the car?

if ur not doing forced induction, eventually cai is a good thing...better airflow, and the air really doesnt stay in the tube long enough to hurt it

does basically nothing

makes a whoosh sound, and my stock exhaust sounded a little better after I put mine in... not much of a difference, but a little deeper

DeMello · April 11th, 2008, 06:08 PM

what tolk

Onemanzu · April 11th, 2008, 06:08 PM

In order...

Tuner
Gears/Tlok
Wheels and Tires
Exhaust (catback or full)

no amongst this list if you have a hole burning in your pocket get either a shifter or new headlights or performance coil pack ...

but really a CAI? wanna know how to make your car just as loud with out the money? take the air silencer off... in fact, i think i will go do that right now to mine and see if there is a difference
