C&L True Flow Pipe & 8
I just want to let everyone knowhow wellthe C&L Inlet Pipe, 85mm mass air meter andBig K&N filterwork together on my 02 GT V8 2V. I purchased this set up last week from RPM Outlet for $366 shipped. I believe this is the cheapest shipped price on the net. I received it yesterday and hooked it up in 20 minutes. Priorto that, Iused a MAI. The Mac Cold Air pipe,in my estimation, isvirtually worthless. I don't know if it is the C&L Pipe and larger air meter in itself, or it, and the combination of bolts ons that make the C&L set up work so very well. But what ever it is,it is the best bolt on,power wise,I have put onmy 02 4.6 2V.I also have the C&L upper intake Plenum and BBK 75mm Throttle Body to go with underdrive pulleys, Magna Flow catted X, Mac Cat Backs with 3.5" tips, BBK headerswith3:73's. With each of those applications (I put on one at a time), I have not felt such a massive increase in upper rpm power that this pipe and meter added. Again, perhaps my engine needed that extra air flow and the 85mm meter made the difference. I don't know. But it worked and worked with out any leaning out -- as some experts have warned me. NO pinging occured under load of any sort. I use 93 octaine fuel. <edited><editID>wpix</editID><editDate>38032.8359490741</editDate></edited>

I have the C&L and the pipe and it is awesome.</P>
Of course it made a difference because you had the CAI crap and it STILL couldn't breathe. If you listen you can hear the K&N sucking in the air...it's GREAT!</P>
It also helped that you had the Plenum and the 75mm BBK TB<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
I recommend it to anyone.</P>

You can't doubt the C&L products. This is what they do...all they do. They Dyno test everything and they don't put it on the market until they have the best product for your Stang. They redid the plenum, showed you the dyno #'s and told you to get the 75mm BBK TB when everyone says it's overkill. Theyshow youthe results with the 70mm and the results with the 75mm. </P>
I can't wait for their lower<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
<U>Glad you made a great choice!</U></P>

Nice. I am looking into doing the C&L set-up myself. So far I haven't heard a bad thing about it. let me know what they Dyno numbers look like now.
