Hello all new to this Forum. Have done some research and came up a little short. Any help be appreciated.

My question is I'm considering getting a Cold Air Intake system. I was infomed I would have to get a tuner as well with it? Is this correct? or Can i just install the Cold Air Intake system by itself?

I have a 2000 Mustang GT. Stock..

A cai by itself will be fine. No tune needed for that.

cai are close to worthless except for the apperance. save your money for a tuner or exhaust. just my opinion. btw, welcome to the forum!

a tune for a CAI? ummmm... no, not needed

Although a tuner will be nice to have, but just for a CAI its not neccessary

WELCOME BTW

Thanks School Boy. I was wondering if the CAI would add any horse power and it turns out after reading a little it may not be worth the money for 10 or so more Horses. it's more Just for looks as you pointed out. Again thanks
