Talking Bullitt CAI installed

bought this cai from brenspeed w/ 93 tune, and i am very satisfied.
looks like it was meant to be there! very good power. i have/had a K&N, JLT,Steeda, street/race C&L(for sale in classifieds), but i am more impressed with this set-up. love the ford logo. at first, i was concerned about a loss of power, but this 85 flows well and actually seals to the hood perfectly. the only con i have is: i should have bought this first!

Would like to ask what kind of issues did you have with steeda or C&L for this matter?

the answer is none...it was a purely cosmetic decision that i wanted. however, this bullitt cai is as good or better for my application.

I have to agree it looks cool, and the heat seal more proper than steeda's

Do not know if it makes much of the difference performance wise after all though.
