just remember that your work reflects you, it may look good to you but it gives the apperance that you dont do proper work and that you cobble stuff up and makes people think damn if the intake looks like that what does the stuff that you dont see look like.

I did something like that when I was 16 years old with my first vehicle (1988 shortbed Chevy with 350).

People said the same things that they're saying about yours but I liked it because it was mine.

To each his own.

YOU DRIVE A MUSTANG NOT A DSM, LEAVE THE HOME DEPOT MODDING TO THE BASTARD CARS.

We had a saying in the Marine Corps. Good Initiative, Bad Judgment!


My next question is, Where's the Toilet?

Also, you could have gotten better results from a chrome Ebay intake for $60

Also, one of the reasons ppl go short ram is because it is a straight shot..that is why it yields higher HP gains (K&N website proves there most expensive kit for the mustang shows a lower HP gain than the cheap FIPK) In your case, your SRI is not straight, so your missing out on all the advantages. Thing just don't look right, wouldn't be surprised if stock with K&N flowed better
ive yet to see a trap speed/ET differance between a fenderwell and a straight shot CAI

and american muscle has knock off CAIs for $70 why spend $100 on that?

The only function of a CAI is to dress up the engine bay. They add little to no performance.

come on, really? We are the most critical car owners probably in the history of vehicles..

Answer me this question HONESTLY: Do you think it looks good? By good I mean, do you think that your IAC hose looks good STRETCHED across the engine bay? Or the silicone that is slapped around the fittings? How about the ghetto rigged filter holder from the stock airbox. At the very least you could have gotten a filter that attached straight to the MAF, that would have helped out a little.

Nobody is hating, we are just giving our opinions. You cant seriously tell me you didnt expect this?
