arethere any difference between these three intakes and if so what are they? <FONT face=Tahoma color=#990000></FONT></P>

<FONT size=2>I would probably choose the K&amp;N overall. All three accomplish the same task but the difference with the K&amp;N is that is plastic instead of metal. Metal is subject to heat soak from the engine which equates to hotter air. The temperature difference may be marginal between the plastic CAI and the metal one but the purpose of a CAI is to provide COOLER, smoother, and improved air flow. While the chrome does look good, im willing to bet that a similar plastic or rubber product will perform better.</FONT></P>

I don't believe the K&amp;N draws from outside the fenderwell though. While it might not be too big of a difference, it would be roughly the same or greaterthan the difference between chrome and plastic.</P>


You could also check out www.densecharger.com</P>


I looked around quite a bit before deciding on it. Plastic, draws from fenderwell vs. engine bay, uses a genuine tried and true K&amp;N filter, and is cheaper than the ones you were looking at to boot.</P>

If you get an aluminum CAI kit, you shouldn't have the problem with it heating up and warming the air too much. The plastic kit seems that it would allow for the heat to penetrate as opposed to aluminum which resists heating up pretty well.

This is where things get somewhat deceptive. I used to thinkthe same thing pretty much. Drive aroundfor a while with an aluminumone on and then pop the hood and grab it. On the other hand, it's not gonna heat up the air all that much during the split second the air is in it.</P>


The moral of the story is find the one you like, be it for looks or numbers. If you get the one you like, you can't go wrong.</P>

Unless it is that March ram airkit.....</P>

If you plan to add a high performance mass airflow sensor in the future I would recommend that you avoid CAI's that put a bend in front of the mass airflow sensor. A bend in front of the MAS can throw off the calibration. The K&amp;N does not have a bend, Volant does not have a bend and here is another option that does not have a bend:</P>

Good Luck.</P>

From my experiences with Mustang owners, Densecharger is one of the best.

ya the densecharger does look and sound pretty sick. for sure it will either be that or a K&amp;N kit.
