Default Mass Air





Would a Fender mount mass air system produce more hp than a non-fender mount.
And how hard would it be to install.

yes because its pulling in more cold air and easy to install, you have to remove the tire and wheel housing though

Maybe a little, either way you won't notice the difference. And they are relatively easy to install. I have never removed a tire or "wheel housing" when installing mine.

why don't I post up some of your response to peoples questions tonight and we'll see about the above statement.........anyway..... a CAI is what you want the most...anytime you can draw air from outside of the car meaning not utilizing hot engine bay air you will pick up some gains but nothing seat of the pants feel

Yup, plus if you're smart you'll pick up one off eBay for $40 instead of paying $180 for a BBK that's the same thing.

The stock airbox is a CAI... make sure to pull the silencer from the outer fender though...

As soon as you remove the silencer it sucks air from the engine bay... plus its ugly as hell.
