Just get a K&n drop in filter. Also remove your silencer.

my opinion: depends on your money situation...

if you are on a budget....then get the cheapest one you can find, or make one yourself. the gains will be close to the same.

if money isnt an option....i like my jlt ram air intake. i had the k & n intake on there for a year or so before the jlt. i like jlt much more. im not sure if i gained any power OVER the k & n....but it looks tons better. the intake tube/pipe is fuggin HUGE =]

Drop in and remove air silencer.....The only reason I would get a CAI is to replace the stock inlet tube. Damn thing is hard as hell to clean.

I still fail to see why people put CAI's on 4.6 mustangs. The intake itself is rubber and resists heat somewhat already, is a straight shot design, and with a drop in K&N see similar gains to CAI's.

But if you must I've always like the JLT RAI's
